With the increasing maritime accidents and the transportation of oil tankers, oil spills have continuously grown. In this study, considering the serious need for cleaning oil spills from seawater, for the first time, the construction of drum-type skimmers containing polyaniline nanofibers was attempted. Polyaniline nanofibers were used to modify the structure of skimmers coated with polyurethane foam. FTIR, SEM, XRD and oil absorption tests were utilized for the physical and chemical characterization of polyaniline nanofibers. In order to improve the efficiency in oil recovery while remaining cost-effective, the morphology of polyaniline nanofibers was optimized by selecting components such as the molar ratio of aniline to ammonium persulfate, the acid to aniline ratio, and the concentration of nanofibers used in the skimmer structure. After conducting the experimental design table, an optimized sample was created, with an oil recovery rate of 217.5 milliliters per minute, a cost of 1.61 dollars, and a desirability of 58%.
