AB  - In the fight against oil and it's derivatives pollution, adsorbents play a crucial role in
efficient removal of these harmful substances from the environment. Jute, a natural plant
fiber, is gaining increasing attention as a potential adsorbent for oil due to high porosity,
good physical and chemical characteristics, biodegradability, and sustainability [1]. The
aim of this study was to investigate the biodegradable properties of jute used as an
absorbent for oil in a liquid medium and model compost. Materials and methods: The
study monitored weight loss in oil-contaminated jute (NWSO) and compared it with
control jute (NWS). Morphological changes in jute fibers were observed with optical
microscopy and SEM analysis. Gas chromatography (GC-MS) was used for the
detection of hydrocarbons in degraded jute. Enzymatic activity changes in compost soil
were tracked. Bacterial strain isolation was done to assess growth on pure and oilcontaminated
jute, with subsequent taxonomic identification. Results: NWSO samples
were degraded more efficiently compared to clean jute with a weight reduction of 20%
in NWSO compared to 5% in NWS. Microscopic and SEM analyses confirmed
morphological changes in jute fibers after degradation. A decrease in hydrocarbon
concentration after degradation was shown. Enzymatic activity tests provided additional
insights into the composting process. The study also identified diverse bacterial strains
capable of oil degradation, primarily belonging to Bacillus and Microbacterium genera.
Conclusion: The study demonstrates the superior biodegradation of NWSO compared
to NWS. The promising role of jute in sustainable bioremediation strategies leading to
reduced harm from oil pollution has been demonstrated.

AB  - Loose assemblies of cellulose fibers could be employed in the clean-up of oil spills, but the difficulty to separate them from the spill after use makes them impractical. In an effort to tackle this issue, a non-woven sorbent based on recycled jute fibers from the carpet industry was developed. To enhance the porosity and hydrophobicity/oleophilicity of the sorbent, carbonization in an inert atmosphere was carried out. A comparison in oil sorption performance between non-carbonized and carbonized sorbents was made by evaluating the oil capacity in a water medium, buoyancy, oil retention and reusability. Carbonization of sorbent resulted in more than doubled oil sorption capacity independent of oil viscosity. Oil viscosity did not affect the oil sorption capacity of non-carbonized sorbent. Carbonized sorbent showed superior buoyancy in water even after 24 hours, oil retention of approximately 60–80% after 3 hours and only 12–20% decline of oil sorption capacity after five repeated sorption/desorption trials. However, the ability of oiled non-carbonized sorbent to efficiently biodegrade in model compost (up to 45% weight loss after 10 weeks) makes it a sustainable candidate for oil spill clean-up.
