Abstract
AbstractThe work reported aims to developing the grafted cellulose fiber‐based material (polyethylene wax‐grafted maleic anhydride)/cellulose fiber; PEW‐g‐MA/CF) for efficient absorption of oil from aqueous solution. PEW‐g‐MA/CF was prepared via grafting modification between cellulose fiber and the maleic anhydride modified polyethylene wax, resulting in a cost‐effective approach for synthesizing cellulose‐based oil super absorbent. The as‐prepared PEW‐g‐MA/CF was systematically characterized via Fourier‐transform infrared, atomic force microscope, and thermogravimetric; the influencing factors of oil absorption, including the weight ratio of the raw materials, reaction temperature, and reaction time, were studied and compared. The maximum oil absorbency was up to 19.36 g/g‐1 with the condition of weight ratio 1:1; temperature 60°C; and reaction time 3 h. Overall, PEW‐g‐MA/CF is an environmentally friendly and cost‐effective material for high oil absorption from aqueous solution, and the valuable findings might provide an idea for maximizing the potential of the cellulose‐based absorbents for a variety of applications.
