Abstract

The crude oil absorption behaviour of chemically modified celluloses was investigated. The result showed that only three out of eleven modified celluloses are effective as crude oil absorbents; benzoyl modified cellulose BMC, toluene diisocyanate cellulose TDC, toluenediisocyanate cellulose blown TDC^b. These three crude oil absorbents posses the same functional group; the carbonyl. The IR of these three cellulose absorbents showed the presence of carbonyl group 1425.51 cm ¹, 1533.06 cm ^l and 1535.82 cm ^l, respectively for BMC, TDC and TDC^b. The order of crude oil absorptivity are TDC^b > BMC > TDC.
