Development of surface modified nonwoven fabric and its liquid absorption characterization

Abstract

Liquid transport behaviour is a significant property in one of the essential nonwoven applications in absorbent product such as oil sorbents geotextiles hygiene products sanitary napkins filter out media wipes and baby diapers Absorbents are the materials which absorb oil or other liquid chemicals The nonwoven fabrics are evolved to satisfy the requirement of liquid absorption depends on their particular end uses Oil pollution is the release of a liquid polyaromatic hydrocarbon into the environments due to human activity crude oil from tankers drilling rigs and wells offshore platforms cause significant environmental impact Oil spill cleansing is an newlineessential goal for all environmental concerns because of its serious outcomes in destroying marine life and vegetation The recovery of oil spill is done by newlineburning skimming and isolating There is a serious demand to enhance a cheap and more efficient methods and substances for this target The usage of natural fibrous sorbent materials satisfies most important values in oil recovery process Natural Sorbents are exhibiting the best material to separate oil from sea water. newline newline
