Abstract

See full text

An absorbent material may include banana tree stalk fibers separated and processed for moisture content reduction to generate processed fibers, and oil eating microorganisms (OEMs) infused into the processed fibers to form OEM infused fibers. The processed fibers may be configured to concentrate oil therein responsive to exposure to the oil. The OEMs may remain in a dormant state in the OEM infused fibers until activated by water and exposed to the oil.
