Abstract
⺠Banana fibre was acetylated using N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS) as catalyst. ⺠The acetylated Banana fibre was used for oil spill recovery. ⺠Its oil sorption capacities were much greater than those of synthetic sorbents such as polypropylene fibre. ⺠It is also possible to reuse the acetylated banana fibre for oil sorption.
