Two-dimensional membrane and three-dimensional bulk aerogel materials via top-down wood nanotechnology for multibehavioral and reusable oil/water separation

Abstract

Abstract Traditional oil/water separation materials can be divided into two types on the basis of their separation behavior: filtration materials (e.g., meshes, textiles, membranes, etc.) and absorption materials (e.g., sponges, foams, and aerogels). Both types of materials have advantages and disadvantages. Combining the filtration and absorption functions into one and the same material for oil/water separation applications presents a challenge. Prompted by the highly oriented porous structures and anisotropic architectures of wood and its hygro-responsive characteristic, two-dimensional (2D) membrane and three-dimensional (3D) bulk aerogel materials with water-responsive shape memory function, anisotropy, robustness, and superhydrophobicity are prepared using top-down wood nanotechnology for multibehavioral (absorption and filtration) and reusable oil/water separation. Wood aerogel is obtained by partially removing hemicellulose and lignin. Further, it is superhydrophobically treated using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/curing agent system. As-prepared wood aerogel/PDMS bulk materials possess high oil absorption capacity (about 20 g/g) and can be reused because of their fast water-responsive shape memory function. The prepared wood aerogel/PDMS membrane materials can efficiently separate oil/water mixtures with high separation efficiency (99.5%) and flux (around 2.25 × 104 L/m2·h) by only the driving force of gravity. Top-down wood nanotechnology is low-cost, facile, scalable, green, and efficient, exhibiting potential for application in multibehavioral oil/water separation and ability to handle industrial oily wastewater and oil spillage accidents.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
