Rapid and efficient cleaning of oily wastewater and high viscosity crude oil spills is still a global challenge. Conventional three-dimensional porous adsorbents are ineffective for oil-water separation in harsh environment and are restricted to the low fluidity of high viscosity crude oil at room temperature. Increasing temperature can enormously improve the fluidity of viscous crude oil. Herein, the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) /carbon black (CB) -modified polyurethane sponge (PU) were prepared by a simple one-step dip-coating method. PDMS/CB@PU (PCPU) exhibits high adsorption capacity to various oils and organic liquid (28.5-68.7 g/g), strong mechanical properties (500 cycles at 50%), outstanding reusability (100 cycles of adsorption and desorption) and excellent environmental stability due to the special PDMS/CB coating. The maximum surface temperature of PCPU sponge can reach 84.7 ℃ under 1 sunlight irradiation. Therefore, the PCPU sponge can rapidly heat and enhance the fluidity of viscous crude oil, significantly speeding up the viscous oil recovery process with the maximum adsorption capacity of 44.7 g/g. In addition, the PCPU sponge can also combine with the vacuum pump to realize the continuous and rapid repair of viscous oil spills from the seawater surface. In consideration of its simple preparation, cost-effectiveness and high oil absorption ability, this solar-assisted self-heating adsorbent provides a new direction for large-scale cleanup and recycling of viscous crude oil spill on the seawater surface.
快速高效地清理含油废水和高粘度原油泄漏仍然是一项全球性挑战。传统的三维多孔吸附剂在恶劣环境下对油水分离无效,并且受限于室温下高粘度原油的低流动性。升高温度可以极大地提高粘性原油的流动性。在此,通过简单的一步浸涂法制备了聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)/炭黑(CB)改性的聚氨酯海绵(PU)。由于特殊的PDMS/CB涂层,PDMS/CB@PU(PCPU)对各种油类和有机液体表现出高吸附容量(28.5 - 68.7 g/g)、强机械性能(50%应变下500次循环)、出色的可重复使用性(100次吸附-解吸循环)以及优异的环境稳定性。在1倍太阳光照射下,PCPU海绵的最高表面温度可达84.7℃。因此,PCPU海绵能够快速加热并提高粘性原油的流动性,显著加速粘性油回收过程,最大吸附容量为44.7 g/g。此外,PCPU海绵还可与真空泵结合,实现从海水表面连续快速修复粘性油泄漏。考虑到其制备简单、成本效益高和吸油能力强,这种太阳能辅助自热吸附剂为大规模清理和回收海水表面粘性原油泄漏提供了新方向。
