Summary:The effect of the plasma modification of mixed leaf litter on the mechanism of oil removal from water surface was studied. It was found that that the sorption isotherm of a plasma-modified mixed leaf litter is described with high reliability by the Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin–Radushkevich equations. A kinetic study revealed a diffusion-kinetic sorption mode, and the calculated Gibbs energy it allowed a conclusion that the process of oil adsorption by a plasma-modified leaf litter involves no chemisorption. The modification of the proposed material in a plasma flow of the litter forms charged particles on the surface, thereby ensuring specific adsorption and the presence of electrostatic (Coulomb) forces that causing orientational and inductive interactions.
