Abstract

ABSTRACTThe acrylic ester resins have potential applications in for treatment of oily wastewater due to their high oil retention capacity and excellent cycle performance. Herein, a novel acrylic ester hybrid resins composed by poly(n-butylacrylate-co-styrene) resins and flower-like ZnO clusters were prepared using a combination of hydrothermal and suspension polymerization. The hybrid resins can remove a broad variety of oils from water with the maximum oil absorption performance of 30.87 g/g. More importantly, the hybrid resins are reversible and maintain high oil absorption properties after oils absorption-regeneration, making them promising candidates for treatment of oily wastewater.
