Progress in Hydrophobic-Oleophilic Materials
RARE METAL MATERIALS AND ENGINEERING(2021)
Abstract
Oil-water separation using sorbents with hydrophobic-oleophilicity are the key to solve the problem of oil spills/leakages occurring globally, and it has become an urgent problem on improving the efficiency of oil-water separation. In nature, some plants, insects and animals are survived in the natural environment by super-hydrophobic structures. And enlightened from nature, the super-hydrophobic materials have attracted tremendous attention as application of oil-water separation. At present, zero-dimensional hydrophobic powder/one-dimensional fibers, two-dimensional hydrophobic meshs/fabrics and three-dimensional hydrophobic porous materials are most commonly used for oil/water separation. This paper mainly summarized the recent researches on the preparation of hydrophobic-oleophilic materials. And finally, the prospects for future investigations of hydrophobic-oleophilic materials are proposed.
