Among the various methods for collecting oil spills and oil products, including from the water surface, one of the most effective is the use of sorbents. In this work, three-component bio-based composite granular adsorbents were produced and studied for oil products’ pollution collection. A bio-based binder made of peat, devulcanised crumb rubber from used tyres, and part fly ash as cenospheres were used for absorbent production. The structure, surface morphology, porosity, mechanical properties, and sorption kinetics of the obtained samples were studied. Composite hydrophobicity and sorption capacity to oil products, such as diesel fuel (DF) and motor oil (MO), were determined. The obtained pellets are characterised by a sufficiently pronounced ability to absorb oil products such as DF. As the amount of CR in the granules increases, the diesel absorption capacity increases significantly. The case of 30-70-0 is almost three times higher than the granules from homogenised peat. The increase in q is due to two factors: the pronounced surface hydrophobicity of the samples (Θ = 152°) and a heterogeneous porous granule structure. The presence of the cenosphere in the biocomposite reduces its surface hydrophobicity while increasing the diesel absorption capacity. Relatively rapid realisation of the maximum saturation by the MO was noted. In common, the designed absorbent shows up to 0.7 g·g−1 sorption capacity for MO and up to 1.55 g·g−1 sorption capacity for diesel. A possible mechanism of DF absorption and the limiting stages of the process approximated for different kinetic models are discussed. The Weber–Morris diffusion model is used to primarily distinguish the limiting effect of the external and internal diffusion of the adsorbate on the absorption process.

Due to the enormous use of oil worldwide, accidental spills occur relatively often, threatening sea ecosystem. A remediation strategy, usually, includes materials of macroporous structure, flexibility, and low cost. Furthermore, they need to have oleophilic and hydrophobic characteristics. All these demands fulfill siloxane matrix foams. The addition of a natural zeolite, clinoptilolite, as filler, can improve their sorption characteristics and reusability. Silicone composite foams at different clinoptilolite content (35, 40, and 45 wt%) have been structurally characterized and evaluated by determining the sorption capacity in several liquids (naphtha, kerosene, pump oil, and water). The squeezing efficiency tests were performed to estimate the foams reusability. Compared with the unfilled one, the clinoptilolite filled foams shown lower sorption capacities with very high oil/water selectivity. The squeezing capacity of the foam with 40 wt% of clinoptilolite is equal to the unfilled foam for pump oil. In contrast, the squeezing capacity of 35 wt% clinoptilolite filled foam for naphtha oil is even higher. Compared to the foams, filled with other types of filler, the high effective oil selectivity of the foam with 35 wt% of clinoptilolite was proven, implying its superior suitability for light and heavy oils sorption.
