The mineral sorbent was added to water following the flushing process. Water temperatures were maintained at 21 \u00b0C and 70 \u00b0C for a contact period of 30 min. The experiments demonstrated that: when the sorbent is active, turbidity removal efficiency was about 64%; color removal efficiency of 56% was obtained; and total iron concentration removal was approximately 68%. The effect of the characteristics of the materials on the adsorption capacity was evaluated using the removed amount of oil per one gram of every sorbent. It was found that straw sorbent oil adsorption capacity was up to 33 mg\/g, peat sorbent 37 mg\/g, and mineral sorbent 1.83 mg\/g. The following were also measured during the experiment: temperature, pH, chemical oxygen usage, total iron concentrations, suspended matter, and oil concentrations. The findings show that recycled sorbents obtained from waste materials are environmentally sustainable and can be reused to treat water that has been used to flush oil transported in rail tanks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15010218","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,29]],"date-time":"2021-12-29T02:31:27Z","timestamp":1640745087000},"page":"218","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Investigating the Effectiveness of Recycled Agricultural and Cement Manufacturing Waste Materials Used in Oil Sorption"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8097-2982","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marina","family":"Valentukeviciene","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Engineering Faculty, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, 10223 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ramune","family":"Zurauskiene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Engineering Faculty, Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, 10223 Vilnius, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5008","DOI":"10.1051\/matecconf\/20164705008","article-title":"Pollutants Characterization of Car Wash Wastewater","volume":"47","author":"Hashim","year":"2016","journal-title":"MATEC Web Conf."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"26","DOI":"10.1016\/j.seppur.2012.11.012","article-title":"Car wash industry in Malaysia: Treatment of car wash effluent using ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membranes","volume":"104","author":"Lau","year":"2013","journal-title":"Sep.
