Throughout human history, the ocean has a close relationship with the development of mankind. However, the ocean is contaminated by various pollutants such as crude oil, microplastics and environmental hormones. Recently, there are pollution cases caused by oil spill accidents such as deep water Horizon accident and Taean oil spill accident. The ocean is also polluted by microplastics caused by inflow from domestic and industrial wastes on land. To recover the ocean from such pollution, the establishment of a marine pollution recovery system is drawing attention. Especially with regard to oil spills, techniques such as absorbed pads, dispersant, skimmers, and in-situ burning are often widely used. However, these methods have problems of cost and secondary damage. Likewise, a method for removing microplastics has not yet been established. In this study, a new method for eco-friendly oil-water separation and microplastic treatment using carbon-based materials is proposed. |
