Abstract
Efficient removal of small concentrations of oily pollutants from water is a challenging but crucial task to meet the increasingly stringent environmental regulations. The current study presents lab-made magnetite particles coated with different amounts of oleic acid (OA) as an efficient and environment-friendly adsorbent for the removal of low concentrations of oil from water. The magnetic nature of the magnetite represents a novel method for recovery and use of the adsorbents. The study takes the case of crude oil in produced water (PW) from North Sea oil rigs and brings oil concentration in PW to or below OSPARS limit of 20ppm
