Abstract
composite absorbent filter media having adsorption and/or absorption properties for the filtration of ester oils from a liquid includes a graphene and/or graphite composite mixed into a final emulsion, which is subsequently heat treated or cured, cooled, compressed, and dried. The resultant adsorption/absorption media is then disposed within a plug structure having an ingress and egress for liquids mixed with ester oils to pass through. Alternatively, the resultant adsorption/absorption media is disposed into a fabric and formed as a wall used to enclose oil-filled equipment. The media adsorbs/absorbs the ester oils from the liquid, while allowing the liquid to disperse and pass through.
