Mechanochemistry: Preparation of Graphite for Adsorbing Hydrocarbons

Oil spills in the sea represent a serious threat to aquatic systems, affecting marine life, contaminating shores, and disrupting ecological balances. Therefore, it is essential to develop effective solutions to mitigate this problem. In this video, we will explore an innovative alternative for the preparation of expanded graphite, a material with a high capacity for adsorbing hydrocarbons in water.
