CLUSTER THREE
environmental science
The greenness of the plant symbolizes the growth and progress towards the exploration of agricultural wastes in the field of environmental science. Trapped inside are the contaminants and pathogens present in our water sources portrayed by the droplet shape, thus, providing great capacity for new sorbent materials. Repurposing agricultural wastes offers a sustainable solution to both waste management and oil spill remediation, productively addressing two major environmental issues within a study. Overall, this symbol is a testament to the scientific investigation of the unlimited potential roles of agricultural wastes and the importance of environmental preservation for the community.
Cluster 3 encapsulates the essence of environmental science research, particularly in the repurposing of sugarcane bagasse, rice residues, and pineapple leaf fibers in diesel oil recovery. Oil sorption studies involve the submersion of sorbents in the oil sorbate to test their ability to absorb or adsorb the molecules into their matrix. Alongside water quality analyses, these studies attempt to address the long-term detrimental impact of pollution in the environment, consequently affecting the lives of the organisms. These oil sorption studies are dedicated to future research that will continue to uncover the potential of agricultural wastes for the preservation of the environment.
