    This research proposal aims to study the effectiveness of using banana and pomelo peels in removing oil spills. It will involve three phases - preparing materials, conducting removal experiments using different combinations of peels, and analyzing results. Ten experiments will be conducted using banana peels alone, pomelo peels alone, and both peels combined to see which removes oil fastest. The Philippines and India are major banana producers, and banana and pomelo peels contain nutrients and sorption properties that may help remove oil from water surfaces. Results will help determine if combined peels are more effective than single peels for oil spill cleanup.

    Research Proposal

    The use of Banana (Musa acuminata) peels


    and Pomelo (Citrus maxima) peels in
    removing Oil spill
    Researchers:
    Princess kate Abelo, John L. Armada, Maiezha Carelle Maglasang

    INTRODUCTION

    According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (2019) Spilled oil
    can harm living things because its chemical constituents are poisonous. This can affect
    organisms both from internal exposure to oil through ingestion or inhalation and from
    internal exposure through skin and eye irritation. Oil can also smother some small
    species of fish or invertebrates and coat feathers and fur like sea otters, sea birds,
    whale, fishes, turtle,etc. reducing birds and mammal’s ability to maintain their body
    temperature.

    According to Mohit (2019) The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on April 22 2010, which is
    considered as the largest accidental oil spill in the history, released an estimated 210
    million gallons of oil into the ocean. The spill was caused by the massive explosion at
    the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the gulf region. The oil continuously flowed in the ocean
    for over 85 days until it was remove on 15 th day of July 2010.The massive oil spill left
    572 miles of shoreline covered with oil slick and cost the lives of thousands of birds and
    marine creatures. Experts have stated that this oil spill will have long term
    environmental impact.

    According to Arnel Murga (2019) On August 11, 2006, The oil tanker M/T solar 1, hired
    by Petron Corporation, sank off the coast of Guimaras, an island province in the
    Philippines, Released an estimated 2.1 million liters (about 555,000 gallons) of bunker
    fuel. It is still known as the largest oil spill in the Philippines’ history.
    According to Coast Guard Philippines (2019) An oil spill incident at (DAPACOR) Davao
    Packaging Corporation compound near Ising River, Carmen Davao del Norte, Released
    an approximately 10,000 liters of blended fuel was reported to the Philippine Coast
    Guard this March 6 2019

    According to Khushboo Sheth (2017) India is the largest producer of banana in the
    world with around 30 million tonnes of production a year and Philippines is the 4 th
    largest producer of banana in the whole world with around 9 million tonnes of production
    a year

    According to Sahilchoudhury (2018) In early times, People use Booms and Skimmers to
    clean the oil spill, Booms acts like a fence to prevent the oil from spreading, and
    Skimmers is design to suck up or absorb the oil from the water, Skimmers can be
    deployed onto boats to remove the contaminants from the water surface.

    According to G. Alaa El-Din and M. Hussein (2018) Banana peels contain vitamin C and
    vitamin E and they also contain potassium, zinc, iron, manganese, and it has sorption
    capacity, that means, banana peel can be use in removing oil spill and it gives a good
    result as a new and low cost agriculture waste for oil spill cleanup

    Base on Royalty Society Publishing (2019) Pomelo a good sorption rate that is enough
    to absorb oil and other organic pollutants.

    According to https://www.tridge.com (2019) The world produces an average of 9.29


    million of metric tonnes of pomelo per year.
    MATERIALS AND METHODS

    This study is composed of three phase: Phase I – Fruit peeling and Salt water
    preparation, Phase II – Removing of Oil Spill Experimentation, and Phase III – Data
    Collection and Analysis, All experimental procedures will be done in Davao Analytical
    Laboratories Gen. Douglas MacArthur Highway,, Talomo, Davao City,Davao del Sur ,
    Philippines. The unit of these analysis is the Spilled Oil, typically Crude

    PHASE I – Preparation of Materials Needed


    We will get the Banana (Musa acuminata) and the Pomelo (Citrus maxima) in the
    Buhangin Public Market because it is the nearest public market in the researcher’s
    house. Next, we will get the Salt water in Matina Aplaya, Davao City, We will get 15
    Litters of salt water to be use in our experiment. After that, we will get the Oil at Caltex
    Gasoline Station, We will get the most common Oil during Oil spill incident which is
    Crude. Last, we will peel the Banana (Musa acuminata), we will need atleast 4 kilos of
    Banana and 10 kilos of pomelo to be use in our experiment.

    PHASE II – Experimentation
    We will peel off 40 Banana and 20 pomelo to be use in our Ten times experiment. The
    first three experiment we will only use banana peel, we will use 10 banana, 2 liters of
    salt water, and 150 ml of crude oil on each of that first three experiment , in the 4 th,5th,
    and 6th experiment we will only use Pomelo peel, we will use 5 pomelo peel, 2 liters of
    saltwater, and 150 ml of crude oil on each of the three experiments, and in the last 4
    experiments we will use both Banana peel and Pomelo peel to determine if they absorb
    oil faster than using only one type of peel, In the last four experiminents we will use 10
    banana peel,5 pomelo peel, 2 liters of salt water, and 150 ml of crude oil

    PHASE III – Data Collection and Analysis


    We will record the time that it takes for the banana peel alone to
    absorb the oil, and also the time that it takes for the pomelo alone
    to absorb the oil to determine which one of them absorbs the oil
    faster, then we will record the results of the last four experiments
    where we use both banana peel and Pomelo peel together to
    determine if they are both more effective than a one type of peel
    is used. We will capture and record our experiments and results
    using an mobile phone.
