Abstract

In the present scenario, most of our water bodies are polluted due to the leakage of liquid petroleum or hydrocarbon into the marine ecosystem, due to human activity, termed as "oil spill". Oil spills may be due to leakage of crude oil from tankers, spills of refined petroleum and refuse their by-products, heavier fuels which are used by large ships like bunker fuel, or the spill of any oily refuse. An oil spill occurs a fire hazard in short span of time. Spilled oil contaminates water and also causes severe damage to aquatic animals. In addition, oil spills are responsible for air pollution. And nowadays, many industries are facing severe problems to separate the water from oil and also oil from water due to leakage. So, we came up with a product which is cost effective when compared to existing solutions and this can “separate the oil from the water on ocean beds and water from oil in industries using adsorption techniques”. Stainless steel mesh coated with microscopic particles like wax that repel oil but not water. Stainless steel mesh with silica nanoparticles that repel water but not oil. Where this product can be controlled using wireless remote control, automation and image processing.
