Using the nanotechnology method to remove oil spill pollution of water Available to Purchase

The result of human activities or from the leakage of pipes and oil tankers. Which causes pollution of rivers and sea waters and causes high costs of treating this environmental problem. In this research, the production of carbon nanotubes laden with Iraqi sawdust has been successfully carried out. It has the ability to absorb the polluted oil spots of the rivers. Two types of carbon Carbone nanotubes have been prepared; the first is carbon black which was prepared from kerosene burning (Carbon black can be produced from any oil residue by partial combustion and with little oxygen). And the second is the material of charcoal after being subjected to processing and grinding. Carbon nanotubes were loaded separately on sawdust obtained from local Carpentry workshops (Which are considered to be primary materials available locally and cheap) as a Supportive and light material that has the ability to float on the water surface where Load ratios of nanomaterials (1, 3, 5%) were weight. And the use of polyurethane as an adhesive for fixing carbonic powder on sawdust. The properties of the prepared materials were studied in several diagnostic devices such as (SEM), AFM (XRD), and FTIR. The results showed that nanomaterials were successfully prepared with nanoparticles. A pilot system was designed and modeled to simulate the reality of oil pollution using a glass basin with dimensions (60 * 40 * 30 cm) and the use of Basrah crude oil (API-32) as a polluted substance as a basis in practical experiments. Through the study of the efficiency of absorption of oil stains proved experimental results that prepared materials have the ability to treat the environmental pollution of water and rates ranging between 91-95% of wood material loaded with black carbon nanotubes. While the results showed that the absorption rates ranged from 2535-% to commercial nanotubes loaded with sawdust. This is due to the particle size and high surface area of black carbon nanotubes. The results of the study showed the efficiency of the absorption of wood-treated nanotubes by studying the percentage of absorption with time, where a high absorption rate of up to 90% was achieved in the case of carbon black treated sawdust, which qualifies for use in the treatment of water pollution due to oil spills.
