Bio-based foam sorbents are new but promising sorbents to oil spill cleanup. They are environmentally friendly materials derived from renewable resources such as vegetable oil and biomass, designed to absorb or adsorb oil and other pollutants from water, coastal areas, wetlands, ice-covered waters, and urban surfaces. These foams offer a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based sorbents, with comparable or even superior performance in oil adsorption capacity, recyclability, and biodegradability. Moreover, a bio-based foam sorbent with inherent hydrophobic property is discussed, opening a new pathway for bio-based foam sorbents that usually need surface modification. This book is a good read for environmental scientists, engineers, sustainability experts, and researchers offering insights in related to the chemistry, performance, and commercialization potential of bio-based foam sorbents. It explores various methods for synthesizing bio-based foam sorbents, providing a detailed examination of the underlying chemistry involved in these processes. 410 0$aEngineering Materials,$x1868-1212 606 $aSurfaces (Physics) 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aBioremediation 606 $aBiophysics 606 $aMembranes (Biology) 606 $aSurface and Interface and Thin Film 606 $aBiomaterials 606 $aEnvironmental Biotechnology 606 $aMembrane Biophysics 606 $aBiological Membranes 615 0$aSurfaces (Physics) 615 0$aBiomaterials. 615 0$aBioremediation. 615 0$aBiophysics. 615 0$aMembranes (Biology) 615 14$aSurface and Interface and Thin Film. 615 24$aBiomaterials. 615 24$aEnvironmental Biotechnology. 615 24$aMembrane Biophysics. 615 24$aBiological Membranes. 676 $a530.417 700 $aLubguban$b Arnold A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01785588 702 $aMalaluan$b Roberto M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aDumancas$b Gerard G$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aAlguno$b Arnold C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910983056403321 996 $aBio-based Foam Sorbents$94317117 997 $aUNINA
