Oil sorbents play a very important part in the remediation processes of oil spills. To enhance the oil-sorption properties and simplify the oil-recovery process, various advanced oil sorbents and oil-collecting devices based on them have been proposed recently. Here, we firstly discuss the design considerations for the fabrication of oil sorbents and describe recently developed oil sorbents based on modification strategy. Then, recent advances regarding oil sorbents mainly based on carbon materials and swellable oleophilic polymers are also presented. Subsequently, some additional properties are emphasized, which are required by oil sorbents to cope with oil spills under extreme conditions or to facilitate the oil-collection processes. Furthermore, some oil-collection devices based on oil sorbents that have been developed recently are shown. Finally, an outlook and challenges for the next generation of oil-spill-remediation technology based on oil-sorbents materials are given.
吸油材料在溢油补救过程中起着非常重要的作用。为了提高吸油性能并简化采油过程，最近提出了各种基于先进吸油材料和采油设备的方法。在这里，我们首先讨论了吸油材料制备的设计考虑因素，并描述了最近基于改性策略开发的吸油材料。然后，还介绍了最近关于主要基于碳材料和可溶胀亲油聚合物的吸油材料的进展。随后，强调了一些额外的性能，这些性能是吸油材料应对极端条件下的溢油或便于采油过程所必需的。此外，还展示了一些最近开发的基于吸油材料的采油设备。最后，对基于吸油材料的下一代溢油补救技术的展望和挑战进行了讨论。
