      crude oil and derivatives.

AB  - The use of cork granules for cleaning up crude oil or oil derivative spills and 
      further oil recovery appears as a promising option due to their unique 
      properties, which allow a high oil sorption capacity, low water pickup and 
      excellent reuse. The present work reports the effect of oil viscosity on cork 
      sorption capacity by using five types of oils (lubricating oil, 5.7 g(oil) 
      g(cork)(-1); heavy oil, 4.2 g(oil) g(cork)(-1); light oil, 3.0 g(oil) 
      g(cork)(-1); biodiesel, 2.6 g(oil) g(cork)(-1); and diesel, 2.0 g(oil) 
      g(cork)(-1)). The cork sorption capacity for light petroleum was also evaluated 
      as a function of temperature and sorbent particle size. Additionally, 
      improvements on oil recovery from cork sorbents by a mechanical compression 
      process have been achieved as a result of a design of experiments (DOE) using the 
      response surface methodology. Such statistical technique provided remarkable 
      results in terms of cork sorbent reusability, as the oil sorption capacity was 
      preserved after 30 cycles of sorption-squeezing steps. The sorbed oils could be 
      removed from the sorbent surface, collected simply by squeezing the cork granules 
      and further reused. The best operational region yielded near 80% oil recovery, 
      using a cork mass of 8.85 g (particle size of 2.0-4.0 mm) loaded with 43.5 mL of 
      lubricating oil, at 5.4 bar, utilising two compressions with a duration of 2 min 
      each. Graphical abstract.
