A study by Guo et al.

(2012) found that carbonized rice straw had a higher adsorption capacity for oil
than raw rice straw. The researchers submerged raw rice straw in water contaminated with oil and
measured the amount of oil remaining in the water over time. They found that untreated rice straw did
not effectively remove the oil from the water after 5 hours. However, they found that carbonized rice
straw had a much higher adsorption capacity and was able to completely remove all of the oil from the
water after only 20 minutes. These results suggest that carbonized rice straw could be a promising
material for use in oil spill cleanup efforts.

Past research has shown that… Many studies have investigated the properties of different agricultural
by-products as potential materials for oil cleanup. Raw rice straw has been shown to have a high
adsorption capacity, but the treatment process is complicated and costly. Researchers in China recently
conducted a study to investigate the effectiveness of carbonizing rice straw as an-adsorbent material for
oil spill cleanup. They submerged raw rice in water contaminated with oil and measured the amount of
oil remaining in the water over time. They found that untreated rice straw did not effectively remove
the oil from the water even after 5 hours. However, they found that carbonized rice straw had a much
higher adsorption capacity and was able to completely remove all of the oil from the water after only 20
minutes. These results indicate that carbonized rice straw could be a promising material for use in oil
spill cleanup efforts.

Porous activated carbon particles from rice straw waste and their adsorption properties The goal of this
study was to make porous activated carbon particles out of rice straw waste and look into their adsorption
characteristics. Several phases were involved in the production of porous carbon particles: (i) burning rice
straw waste; (ii) ball-mill process; and (iii) activation treatment. The concentration of activating agent must
be optimized in order to produce the best results in the activation therapy. The concentration of KOH
(potassium hydroxide) was changed. The results of the experiments demonstrated that this technology is
successful in producing porous carbon particles. Porosity can also be controlled by adjusting the amount
of activation agent used (i.e. potassium hydroxide). A larger activation agent concentration leads to the
formation of more cavities in the material. The analysis also reveals that there has been a shift in the rate
of change because the current technology converts rice straw waste into useful and profitable porous
carbon particles, the study's continued advancement will have a favorable influence on rice straw waste
emission reduction. This study shall serve as a guide for the researchers as the method incorporated in
this study will be the primary process to be used in their study.

Development of rice straw activated carbon and its utilizations To avoid environmental difficulties, non-
recyclable trash like rice straw must be appropriately disposed of, and it would be even better if it made a
profit. After biochar activation, pyrolysis as a thermal conversion method is one method for converting
wastes into biochar, which may be utilized as a catalyst support for bio-oil catalytic upgrading,
electrochemical material, and pollutant adsorbent. Chemical activation with KOH was used in the study to
achieve large surface areas (1330 m2/g). The nickel impregnated activated carbon was employed to
enhance the microalgae distilled bio-oil fraction in the first application. The enhanced bio-oil was 42
percent deoxygenated and 86 percent desulfurized. The H/C and O/C ratios of improved bio-oil were
similar to those of petro-based fuels, and HHV was found to be present. The number of paraffin and
aromatic groups rose as the majority of olefin and nitrile groups were cracked or transformed into smaller
carbon chains. Activated carbon was also tested as an electrochemical material, a supercapacitor that
exhibited both EDLC (electrical double layer capacitor) and pseudocapacitance capabilities. At 93 F/g, the
maximum specific capacitance was found, even though the specific capacitance was moderate. Finally,
activated carbon was utilized as an adsorbent material to remove pharmaceutical pollutants, with about
95% of them being eliminated after only 24 hours of contact. The activated carbon was also capable of
removing pesticides from water at a very low concentration (5ng/ml). Therefore, the developed activated
carbon is a promising candidate for the effective removal of pharmaceuticals and pesticides in water.
Overall, this study has successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of the developed activated carbon for
various applications. However, more research is required to assess the practical application of activated
carbon.

In this study, we developed a low-cost method to produce large surface areas (1330 m2/g) of activated
rice straw activated carbon using KOH activation. Rice straw is the by-product of rice milling ind
Rice straw is a potential oil spill adsorbent due to its high porosity and surface area, which allows it to
effectively adsorb oil from water. Additionally, rice straw is a readily available and inexpensive material,
making it a cost-effective solution for oil spill cleanup. However, it also has some limitations such as its
low density which makes it difficult to recover from water and its biodegradability which may lead to
environmental issues if not disposed properly. Despite these drawbacks, rice straw is still a promising oil
spill adsorbent and could be implemented into oil spill cleanup plans in the future.

There have been several studies that have investigated the use of rice straw as a potential oil spill
adsorbent.

One study found that rice straw had a high adsorption capacity for crude oil, with the maximum
adsorption capacity observed at a high pH of 9. The study also found that rice straw was effective in
removing oil from water, with over 90% of the oil removed after 24 hours.

Another study found that rice straw had a high adsorption capacity for diesel oil, with the maximum
adsorption capacity observed at a low pH of 3. The study also found that rice straw was effective in
removing oil from water, with over 90% of the oil removed after 24 hours.

A third study investigated the use of rice straw ash as an adsorbent for crude oil, and found that it had a
high adsorption capacity, with over 90% of the oil removed after 24 hours. The study also found that rice
straw ash was effective in removing oil from water, with over 90% of the oil removed after 24 hours.

Overall, these studies suggest that rice straw is a potential oil spill adsorbent due to its high porosity
and surface area, which allows it to effectively adsorb oil from water. Additionally, rice straw is a readily
available and inexpensive material, making it a cost-effective solution for oil spill cleanup.

marine life and coastal ecosystems. This especially true in heavily populated areas where many people
live and work along the coastline. Each year, an average of 10 million tons of oil is released into the
ocean due to accidental spillage or irresponsible waste management practices.

Carbonized rice straws have been studied as a potential adsorbent for oil spills due to their high surface
area, porous structure, and hydrophobic nature. Studies have found that carbonized rice straws are
highly effective at adsorbing both crude oil and refined oil, with adsorption capacities up to 98% for
crude oil and 96% for refined oil. Additionally, carbonized rice straws are inexpensive and readily
available, making them a cost-effective and sustainable option for oil spill cleanup. Overall, the studies
suggest that carbonized rice straws have significant potential as an adsorbent for oil spills and further
research is needed to optimize their use in practical applications.
