Nanotechnology And Magnetism To Clean Ocean Oil Spills Future Expected

Posted By: Jenis Radadiya

About this Talent:

The world has witnessed the circumstances shaped by oil spills for many decades that cause serious environmental problems and affects human health. When oils from rigs, pipelines, and tankers is accidentally spilled into oceans, it causes ecological damage and becomes a huge burden for the government, industrialists, etc. The cleanup is almost always difficult as it involves a great amount of time, money, and resources to remove oil from the water. As we all know that oil is less densethan water, it floats on the surface of the water when it leaks or spills. There are historical methods for the cleanup of oil spills from the ocean and one of the approaches is with the help of nanotechnology and magnetism. “Nanotechnology” word itself fascinated not only researchers but also many industries and the global race is on to tap its potential and to derive benefit from it.Oil spill cleanup using ferrofluid nanotechnology is hypothesized to work by making the spilled oil magnetic. The use of ferrofluids in an oil spill can magnetically separate oil from water. The success of the ferrofluid method to remove oil spills is largely dependent on its ability to mix well and disperse through the oil. With the help of experimentation, scientistsfound that the higher the concentration of ferrofluid and the stronger the magnet, the more efficient the oil removal. This research categorizes and thoroughly reviews the application of nanotechnology in oil spill cleanups in different forms and also focuses on the environmental aspects of it.
