Summary:Xylitol based phase selective organogelators are developed for crude oil of varying API gravity and various petroleum fractions/oils. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding was responsible for gel formation with three dimensional cross linked networks. Efficient gelation at room temperature, high mechanical strength, oil recovery and gelator reusability make these compounds promising candidates for oil spill mitigation. Xylitol based cost effective and easily synthesizable phase selective gelators were developed for strong gelation ability for different crude oils, wide range of refinery products and reported for their potential application in oil spillage recovery.
