Abstract (2. Language):
In this study performed about the absorbent materials commonly used in cleaning up oil spills on water surface,
wastes of granular styrofoam, tea fibers and polystyrene foam were used as adsorbent materials. The capacities
of adsorbents on adsorbing oils of Adıyaman and Kerkük in water and in salty water have been determined based
on the ASTM F726-06 method. The specific surface areas have been identified based on the BET method.
According to the results of the test, the highest specific adsorption capacity of each adsorbent has been provided
within 0.4 g amount of adsorbents. According to the test duration of 24 hours, the specific adsorption capacities
of adsorbents for the oils of Adıyaman and Kerkük, were determined as 8.06 and 5.32 g of adsorbed oil/g
adsorbent for styrofoam, 15.63 and 13.16 for tea fiber and 41.46 and 39.01 for polystyrene foam respectively. As
far as the salty water conditions are concerned, specific adsorption capacities of adsorbents for the oils of
Adıyaman and Kerkük were determined as 6.94 and 4.40 g of adsorbed oil/g adsorbent for styrofoam, 12.07 and
11.54 for tea fiber and 35.21 and 32.27 for polystyrene foam respectively. According to results of the tests, the
specific adsorption capacity of polystyrene foam having the the largest surface area was determined higher than
the specific adsorption capacities of granular styrofoam and tea fiber.

Abstract (Original Language):
Sudaki petrol kirliliğinin temizlenmesinde yaygın olarak kullanılan emici malzemelerle ilgili yapılan bu
çalışmada, adsorban malzeme olarak granül strafor, çay lifi ve polistiren köpük atıkları kullanılmıştır. Adsorban
malzemelerin su ve tuzlu suda Adıyaman ve Kerkük petrollerini adsorplama kapasiteleri ASTM F726-06
standardına göre belirlenmiştir. Adsorban malzemelerin özgül yüzey alanları ise BET metodu ile belirlenmiştir.
Test sonucunda, her bir adsorbanın en yüksek özgül adsorpsiyon kapasitesinin 0,4 g’lık adsorban miktarında
sağladığı görülmüştür. Adsorbanların Adıyaman ve Kerkük petrollerini özgül adsorplama kapasiteleri 24 saatlik
test sonrası sırasıyla, straforun 8,06 ve 5,32; çay lifinin 15,63 ve 13,16; polistiren köpüğün 41,46 ve 39,01 g
adsorplanan petrol/g adsorban olarak bulunmuştur. Tuzlu suda ise Adıyaman ve Kerkük petrollerini sırasıyla;
straforun 6,94 ve 4,40; çay lifinin 12,07 ve 11,54; polistiren köpüğün 35,21 ve 32,27 g adsorplanan petrol/g
adsorban olarak adsorplayabildiği belirlenmiştir. Test sonuçlarına göre, yüzey alanı en büyük olan polistiren
köpüğün, çay lifi ve strafora göre özgül adsorpsiyon kapasitesinin daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
