The biosorption of crude-oil spill using acetylated and unacetylated Cissus populnea leave, stem and root
biosorbents was investigated in this study. The acetylated and unacetylated biosorbents was characterized
by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The FTIR
spectra confirmed the formation of the acetyl group while SEM morphological analysis of acetylated
biosorbent showed rough macrostructure surfaces with large hollows between the strand. The effectiveness
of the biosorbents was evaluated based on their ability to remove crude oil from an aqueous solution. The
results sho wed that the acetylated biosorbents had higher oil sorption capacities compared to the
unacetylated biosorbents. The highest oil sorption capacity was observed for the acetylated stem
biosorbent, which had a sorption capacity of 30.09 g/g. The unacetylated leaves biosorbent had the lowest
oil sorption capacity, with a sorption capacity of 20.4 g/g. The leaves and roots biosorbents showed
intermediate oil sorption capacities. The study also showed that the biosorption capacity of the biosorbents
increased with increasing initial oil concentration and contact time, while decreasing with increasing
biosorbent particle size. The results suggest that acetylated Cissus populnea biosorbents have potential as
an effective and low-cost alternative for the remediation of crude-oil spills.
