The search for efficient oil spill remediation techniques leads to the use of physical, chemical, and biological methods, featuring both natural modified lipophilic materials. Kapok fibers (Ceiba pentandra (L.) Gaerth) have been studied as a result their unusual sorption capacity, which can be improved even further through physical or chemical treatments that augment rugosity alter functional properties. Furthermore, exact role fiber morphology is not completely clear regarding process. Hence, this study investigated efficacy kapok using different treatments, based on approaches, characterized advanced (FTIR, SEM, AFM), aiming improve understanding application possibilities in contamination scenarios. results indicate low thermal intensity concentration do lead variation properties nor surface structural features. Fiber varied from 4.40 12.35 nm, whereas an excessive increase roughness was observed when material subject more extreme conditions, such temperature 120 °C high concentrations (2.0 M) acid alkali, accompanied by loss functionality affecting capacity. Thus, provides conditions suggest these are necessary type inserted into processes.
