    The document describes the synthesis and characterization of cotton-polystyrene-nano zinc composite adsorbents for removal of oil contaminants from water. Two synthesis routes were used to prepare the adsorbents. The adsorbents were characterized using FTIR, SEM, TGA, and their oil adsorption capacity and hydrophobicity were evaluated. Statistical optimization of the adsorption process was also performed to improve adsorbent performance. The synthesized adsorbents showed potential as a low-cost method for oil removal from water.

    Background
    • Used Cooking Oil is one of the most commonly water pollutant
    • Even a small quantity can cause a lot of harm.
    • Careless disposal of cooking oil into drainage system,
    onto land or to watercourses can be harmful to river birds, fish, and wildlife.

    Low Cost Adsorbents for Oil Removal

    Adsorption is cost effect, easy to conduct method for removal of oil

    contaminants from water resources.

    Cotton-Polystyrene based adsorbents for removal of oil from aqueous

    solutions were synthesized and characterized by our previous batch.

    However we aimed to improve the method to improve its performance.

    Oil Adsorption Capacity [OAC (g/g)]:
    •The
      Oil Adsorption Capacity, OAC for experimental materials was
    considered as the ratio between the weight of absorbed oil (moil) in
    comparison with the weight of adsorbent (madsorbent).

    OAC= = , g/g
    Where;
    moil, mwater = mass of absorbed oil and absorbed water,
    mtotal = total mass of adsorbent after absorption experiment;
