Abstract

The discovery of oil in the Persian Gulf during 1930-1940s led to a significant increase in shipping activities and was responsible for the economic prosperity and geopolitical importance of the region at the present time. It is estimated that 2000 to3000 tankers pass the Strait of Hormuz annually. This is 40% of the oil shipping traffic in the world waterways. Oil pollution in the Persian Gulf area is about 15-20% of the total oil spillage in the marine environment, which is estimated to be about 160 million tons annually. Oil spillage has a great impact on animals, coral reefs, fisheries, Beaches, human health and tourism. In the this work, the performances of three different sorbents - namely, tire powder, polypropylene fibers, and scrap tire based composites (STBC) - are compared in terms of oil sorption capacity and oil recovery efficiency. STBC acts as a sorbent of oil spills contaminations. Due to the importance of recycling worn-out tires and environmental problems accompanying the worn out tires and also because of hydrophobic surface property of rubber sorbents, STBC could be regarded among the inexpensive and accessible sorbents for eliminating the oil pollutions. This article - beside the above mentioned technologies - presents a new technology to absorb oil pollution, which is Nano-Technology. Nanotechnology is a revolution in absorbance system.
