It is assumed that it has the ability to substitute polypropylene as a commercialized sorbent. This study will provide an alternative for the absorption of oil spills using an organic vegetable products. Requirements shall be made for offshore purposes. One of the materials that suits this function is banana peel cellulose. By using banana peel cellulose, the process of decomposition, which is always an issue when dealing with polypropylene, is no longer a problem. The structure of banana peel should make it possible to decompose naturally without any damage to the environment. In addition, banana peel has a fibrous microstructure that is a crucial factor in the efficient absorption of oil. Cooking oil (palm) will be used to replace hazardous toxic oil has been used along with seawater from Penang in the experiment. The oil absorbency test was carried out to measure the oleophilic / hydrophobic strength of the material. Banana peel was also found to be able to absorb up to eighteen times its own weight. Overall, the findings indicate that organic vegetable products could substitute conventional synthetic sorbents with a more 2023-05-03T15:18:06Z 2023-05-03T15:18:06Z 2020-09 https://irepository.uniten.edu.my/handle/123456789/20748 application/pdf
