A Cellulose Aerogel Made from Paper and Hemp Waste Added with Starch for the Sorption of Oil

One sustainable method of removing oil spills is the use of sorbents. In this study, aerogels made from paper waste and crosslinking starch are investigated as sorbents. Aerogels have a high porosity and, thus, achieve a high sorption capacity. The paper waste aerogels are compared with aerogel samp...
