- Abstract
Oil is the most critical energy resource element in today's rapidly rising technological and industrial world. It became evident that the movement of oil from one location to an otheris carried across the world by oceans and by land. Oil is likely to spill during such transportation from the ocean. In recent decades, during oil production, transport, and storage, many oil spill incidents have taken place. The majority of oil spill incidents took place in the sea since most oil is transported by sea. This waste of oil is causing emissions to the atmosphere. The oil spill swept the ground, endangered trees, killing many sea birds, small fish, dolphins, and mammals as a result of the chemical poisonous constituents in petroleum. The oil spill of water is more hazardous than that on the land since much of its oils float on the surface of the water and disperse by waves and wind over vast areas. Therefore it is important to rapidly extract the spilled oil so as to avoid oil spread over a larger field. The textile fabrics and absorbent materials are used to control the oil spill and recovery of oil. This paper reviews the importance of nonwoven fabric structure, mechanism of oil collection and recovery, types of booms and skimmers, and future trends and techniques of oil sorption, oil spill cleanup.
