Cover Story: Throughout the decades, the production, transport, and use of fossil fuels has led to numerous environmental concerns. Crude oil has caused catastrophic accidents after its spillage into the aqueous environment and accumulation onto the coastal sediments. To tackle this problem in a sustainable manner, researchers have used alternative remediation agents to extract these crude oil spills from the sediments. In our study, fatty acid methyl, ethyl, and butyl esters (FAME, FAEE, and FABE) were synthesized from waste cooking oil (WCO) and used as remediation agents for crude oil extraction from gravel sediments. The results showed FAME and FAEE were most effective in the removal of crude oil from sand (removing 88–89%), while FAEE and FABE extracted the most crude oil from gravel (removing 74–77%). View this paper
