Abstract

Advance materials are new materials with enhanced properties that are internationally designed for superior performance. This study was centered on the uses of Comonsus Ananas and Blighia sapida plant extracts synthesized as a biosorbent materials for removing petroleum fractions from oil spilled water body. Ananas comosus leaves, Blighia sapida seeds and raw oil spilled water are the combined materials used for this work. Adsorbent preparation and characterization for sorption studies was carried out. Simulation of oil spilled water and adsorbent raw samples, chemical treatment with thiol groups and modification of adsorbents for sorption studies were carried out and application of the adsorbent to raw oil spilled water was determined. Adsorption Isotherms test was carried out alongside with Batch adsorption experiment. Identification of Metal ions and Binding Functional Groups were all characterized Using Fourier Transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) and the heavy metal removal from the oil spill were determined. The result obtained confirmed that biosorbent material synthesized (Pinesorb) was capable of removing toxic petroleum fraction from oil spilled water body.
