- Abstract
Continual growth in industrial activities and in transportation and residential sectors of the economy has led to steadily higher quantities of miscellaneous wastes and pollutants released into the surroundings environment. The fabrication of superhydrophobic/superoleophilic materials with water contact angle > 150° and oil contact angle < 5° for oil spill clean-up has attracted considerable research interest owing to these materials' high adsorption selectivity toward various oils. Moreover, a detailed assessment of the yield and quality of bio-oil produced from the fast pyrolysis process of date seeds and date syrup waste was reported.
