ZoP Cocos nucifera (Coconut) Coir as Low-Cost Adsorbent in Domestic Waste Oil

autorzy: Drake Axel J. Mayo

The use of coconut coir fibers in adsorbing oil is a promising approach to alleviate the conditions of a country, like the Philippines, in minimizing the throwing of waste oil into the drainage systems that may clog the water passageway, pollute the environment and pose great hazards to the lives of humans. For every 50 g of coconut coir used to trap 150 mL of waste oil or an 81 % efficiency, coconut coir can be an efficient adsorbent of waste oil from households and restaurants. However, a continuous usage of the same coconut coir fibers may render it less efficient in the adsorption process which help clean up the sewerage system.
