This research develops a high-efficiency oil-trapping buoy using superhydrophobic membrane technology. By synthesizing cattail flowers into carbon nanofibers and utilizing waste PET plastic, the project addresses water pollution while enabling sustainable oil recovery.
Oil and grease pollution is an urgent environmental problem severely affecting aquatic ecosystems and mangrove forests, particularly in the Mani Rat Canal area, Samut Sakhon Province, where no effective solution currently exists. This research aims to develop a "high-efficiency oil-trapping buoy using superhydrophobic membrane technology" by synthesizing cattail flowers into Carbon Nanofiber material for capturing oil and grease, combined with waste PET plastic collected from mangrove areas as the primary structural material. This approach not only addresses water pollution but also enables the recovered oil to be further processed and utilized, representing an environmentally friendly solution that promotes sustainable resource management.
Objective
The project aims to design and develop a high-performance oil-trapping buoy using cattail fiber, enhance the hydrophobic properties of the carbon nanofiber material through eco-friendly processes, and mitigate oil pollution in mangrove areas and waterways.
- To design and develop a high-performance oil-trapping buoy using cattail fiber.
- To develop the hydrophobic properties of oil-absorbing sheets made from cattail-derived carbon nanofibers using a simple, eco-friendly process.
- To address oil and grease pollution from households and petroleum sources in canals, mangrove areas, and estuaries before they reach the sea, which causes water degradation and oxygen depletion that harms marine life.
