Abstract:The present study aims to evaluate the use of chicken feather waste (CFW) as an absorbent for the removal of crude oil from crude oil polluted water (CPW) in comparison with commercial activated carbon (CAC) ) in Nigeria. Oil pollution, can be as a result of natural disaster like earthquake, volcanic eruption, hurricane etc., or as a result of man’s interference for example terrorism, oil bunkering, tanker and oil rig accidents. CAC have been use as adsorbent for crude oil removal from the water environment bu… Show more
“…Crude oil, a petroleum hydrocarbon, can leak into the aquatic environment during natural disasters, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or hurricanes, or due to operational errors in oil exploration, production, and transportation. [79,80] The high toxicity of petroleum oil can result in the death of aquatic and terrestrial mammals. Furthermore, the overuse of antibiotics can cause significant cytotoxic effects, leading to decreased microbial diversity by facilitating the vital activities of selective microbial lineages under extremely restricted pressure.…”

The extensive consumption of chicken has resulted in the emergence of a significant environmental issue in the form of chicken feather waste. As such, there is an urgent need for the development of green treatment and recycling methods for chicken feathers. Chicken feathers can serve as a type of heteroatomic doping carbon source, making them an excellent candidate for the electrode materials used in electrochemical energy devices. Furthermore, their unique structures and functional groups make them highly promising for use as adsorbents, electronics, and building materials. In this paper, we provide a summary and review of recent progress made in the use of chicken feathers for energy and environmental applications. Based on the theoretical knowledge and practical applications presented in this review, promising green recycling processes of chicken feathers can be developed. These processes can help to reduce environmental pollution and promote sustainable development.

“…Despite the publication of many reports on the use of agricultural waste as adsorbent, there is a scarcity of knowledge on the use of chicken feather waste for the removal of crude oil from crude oil-polluted water, which is why this research was conducted. [20][21] The present study, focused on the union of both natural sorbent feathers to modify synthetic sorbent's polyurethane foam and test the modified foam as spill oil sorbent.…”
