Oleophilicity and oil-water separation by reduced graphene oxide grafted oil palm empty fruit bunch fibres

Absorption is one of the effective, simple and economical methods to remove oil from oily wastewater. The most widely used approach is to utilize lignocellulosic biomass as oil absorbent. However, the hygroscopic of cellulose have limited the oil-water separation capability of lignocellulosic fibers...
