1. A Comprehensive Characterization of Corn Stalk and Study of Carbonized Corn Stalk in Dye and Gas Oil Sorption
This research presents an innovative and environmentally friendly approach using carbonized corn stalk to remove dyes and petroleum oils from contaminated water. The study demonstrates the high efficiency of this natural, low-cost sorbent material and highlights its potential to replace traditional chemical treatment methods that contribute to higher carbon emissions. By utilizing agricultural waste, the method supports cleaner production practices and provides a sustainable solution for managing chemical pollutants and industrial wastewater.

2. Oil Spill Removal From Water Using Corn Stalk:
Factors Affecting the Sorption Process
This study explores the use of untreated corn stalk as a natural sorbent for removing petroleum oils from polluted water sources. The findings confirm the effectiveness of agricultural residues as eco-friendly alternatives to conventional chemical sorbents. The method contributes to reducing carbon emissions resulting from burning agricultural waste and offers a practical, sustainable solution for oil spill treatment and water protection.
Summary of Impact Both studies highlight innovative uses of agricultural residues in the oil and gas sector — offering:
• Reduced carbon emissions
• Low-cost and sustainable water treatment options
• Environmentally safe alternatives to synthetic sorbents
• Practical applications for managing oil spills and industrial wastewater.
These findings support the company’s commitment to sustainability, environmental protection, and advancing research in eco-friendly oil spill treatment technologies.
