Biocompuestos, Fibras naturales, Separación aceite-agua, Sorción, ReutilizaciónResumen
La continua expansión de la industrialización, la demanda de energía y el desarrollo económico se han correlacionado directamente con la creciente incidencia de contaminación por aceite y la descarga de efluentes oleosos. Esto configura un riesgo ambiental y ecológico de magnitud global que amenaza la salud humana y la sostenibilidad de los ecosistemas acuáticos. El desarrollo de materiales sorbentes sostenibles para el tratamiento de efluentes oleosos se basa primordialmente en la valorización de residuos de biomasa agrícola, cuya estructura está compuesta mayoritariamente por fibras naturales como celulosa, hemicelulosa y lignina. Este estudio realiza una revisión sistemática de la literatura reciente sobre compuestos poliméricos reforzados con fibras naturales aplicados al tratamiento de efluentes oleosos. El análisis se centra en estrategias de modificación y evalúa el rendimiento de los materiales en cuanto a capacidad de sorción, selectividad, reutilización y estabilidad.
