Preparation of pre-wetted underwater superoleophobic porous material from green water-based foam for oil–water separation
Source abstract
Abstract
A novel hydrophilic polysilane porous material prepared from a facile and eco-friendly strategy, which was templated from Angelica sinensis (A. sinensis)-stabilized water-based foam via a one-step integrated reaction of hydrolysis and polymerization was reported. The as-prepared porous materials had sufficient pore structure and excellent stability, and the separation efficiency for various oil–water mixtures could easily reach 97% after ten cycles and still maintain excellent oil–water separation efficiency in harsh environments, such as strong acid or alkali, high salinity and high temperature. More importantly, the polysilane porous materials also presented a well separation efficiency for O/W emulsion stabilized with cationic surfactant. Involved the excellent separation efficiency as well as the favorable stability and reusability, the novel polysilane porous material had the potential application in oil–water separation, and the green pathway can be regarded as an important reference for the fabrication of novel porous materials.
