Abstract: The article focuses on synthesis and production of adsorbents to collect oil spills using available and surplus raw materials in agriculture. Research on the manufacture of oil sorbent based on the combination of polyurethane and agricultural by-product is conducted. Nowadays, waste by-products are partly composted, partly used as feed for the remaining cattle that is disposed of in the environment or burned out. This wall is the cause of severe environmental pollution. Therefore, using this waste straw combined with polyurethane to make oil absorbing materials to treat oil pollution at sea is a feasible, scientific and practical option, contributing to minimizing environmental pollution as well as promoting the development of agriculture. Thus, with the current strategy of marine economic development and strong waterway transportation, it will lead to serious environmental pollution if we need specific solutions to solve the problem of neglect. Application of adsorbent material to absorb oil and heavy metals from waste water of transport fleet is part of the strategy of sustainable economic development.
