Abstract
The increasing contamination of water resources by oily wastewater and human activities necessitates the development of efficient strategies for the remediation of polluted water sources. Due to the diversity of pollution sources, such as industrial wastewater, organic dyes, bacteria, and other complex pollutants, it is meaningful to develop a material capable of simultaneously treating these pollutants. The hydrophobic melamine sponge (PDMS@F-MOF@MS) was prepared using a simple impregnation method using zirconium metal-organic framework (UiO-66-NH2), 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl trichlorosilane (FDTS), and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The obtained PDMS@F-MOF@MS demonstrates remarkable superhydrophobic with a water contact angle of up to 156°. In addition, the PDMS@F-MOF@MS has robust adsorption capacity for a variety of organic solvents/oils (capable of absorbing 14.44 to 41.83 times its weight), a separation efficiency rate surpassing 95.9 %, and the ability to effectively separate oil-in-water emulsions. Furthermore, PDMS@F-MOF@MS demonstrates good mechanical properties and chemical stability, as well as good antibacterial and photocatalytic degradation properties. This project offers a valuable guide for the creation of versatile oil-water separation materials that can separate oil and water in variety of oily wastewater.
期刊介绍:
Composites Communications (Compos. Commun.) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing short communications and letters on the latest advances in composites science and technology. With a rapid review and publication process, its goal is to disseminate new knowledge promptly within the composites community. The journal welcomes manuscripts presenting creative concepts and new findings in design, state-of-the-art approaches in processing, synthesis, characterization, and mechanics modeling. In addition to traditional fiber-/particulate-reinforced engineering composites, it encourages submissions on composites with exceptional physical, mechanical, and fracture properties, as well as those with unique functions and significant application potential. This includes biomimetic and bio-inspired composites for biomedical applications, functional nano-composites for thermal management and energy applications, and composites designed for extreme service environments.
