Description
Summary:The growing demands for petroleum products increase the risk of oil spills, and these accidents cause long-term devastation to biodiversity and communities. Researchers are now searching for adsorbents from biowastes due to current oil cleanup methods' costs and potential dangers. Hence, the lack of relevant studies and underutilization of mahogany fruit shells (MFS) have prompted an investigation into oil adsorption capacity and particle size effects. Sorption capacity was measured using untreated MFS in chosen particle sizes of B-8 (0.6mm
