Abstract
Abstract A new type of oil absorption felt (NOAF-1) with high adsorption capacity, expected to be applied in ocean oil spill, was designed. The NOAF-1 was fabricated with commercial oil absorption felt (OAF) and expanded graphite (EG). The oil adsorption experiments were carried out under laboratory conditions. Meanwhile, the mechanical properties of oil absorption felt have been determined by burst and tensile test. The results show that the NOAF-1 has better oil absorption capacity than OAF. The best oil adsorption capacity is achieved when the filling density of EG in NOAF-1 is 0.0087 g/cm3 and the thickness of the OAF around 1 mm. In addition, compared with OAF and EG, it is easier to regenerate the NOAF-1 after adsorption.
