Abstract
The treatment of water contaminated with oil or organic solvents has always been a thorny challenge, considering the complexity of water pollution, the susceptibility to secondary pollution and the consequent depletion of resources. Biomass is a versatile, green and self-circulating natural material that shows important potential in designing high-performance oil/water separation materials. This review highlights the recent research progress on biomass-based materials (BBMs) in the field of oil-water separation. Firstly, related properties for displaying definitions, sources and specificities on biomass materials are introduced, and the basic wetting theory of interfacial wettability is discussed. Secondly, representative nature-inspired designing strategies for oil-water separation materials are summarized. Finally, the current development prospects, future challenges and trends on BBM for oil-water separation are discussed as well. Hopefully, this review will provide some essential guidelines for the researchers to design novel oil/water separation materials with green, self-degradable, low-toxicity and readily available raw materials.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Biological Macromolecules is a well-established international journal dedicated to research on the chemical and biological aspects of natural macromolecules. Focusing on proteins, macromolecular carbohydrates, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, lignins, biological poly-acids, and nucleic acids, the journal presents the latest findings in molecular structure, properties, biological activities, interactions, modifications, and functional properties. Papers must offer new and novel insights, encompassing related model systems, structural conformational studies, theoretical developments, and analytical techniques. Each paper is required to primarily focus on at least one named biological macromolecule, reflected in the title, abstract, and text.
