STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
When oil is spilt into the environment, it causes different kinds of pollution that have serious adverse effects on man, animals and plants. These adverse impacts to the ecosystems and the long term environmental pollution calls for urgent need to develop a wide range of material for clean-up of oil from impacted areas. Some of the problems that necessitated this study include 1 Loss of aquatic lives and arable land for farming to oil spills. 2 Crude oil pollution affects tourism, leisure activities and economy (due to loss in domestic use and export quantity. 3 High cost of oil clean-up processes due to high cost of imported synthetic sorbent materials. 4 Non-biodegradability of imported sorbent materials which further adds to the environmental problems. 5 Lack of adequate natural, inexpensive and biodegradable substitutes of synthetic sorbents 6 . Agricultural by-products have well documented problems with water sorption and lack of dimensional stability due to their associated hydroxyl functionality.
