Cellulose (Cel) extracted from furfural residue is used as raw material to mix with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA) to obtain Cel/PVA/SA aerogel through freezing-drying by means of freezing-thawing method and Ca2+ cross-linking method.The obtained aerogel is further hydrophobically modified with methyl trichlorosilane (MTCS) to prepare Cel/PVA/SA@MTCS material that has a density of 0.035 g·cm-3,a porosity as high as 97.1%,and a 154.5° contact angle with water.The material’s absorption amount to various kinds of oil and organic solvent reaches 36-65 g·g-1.After it has been used for 10 cycles,the absorption amount of the material to soybean oil and vacuum pump oil is still 79% and 74%,respectively of the initial absorption amount.After it has been centrifugated at 1 000 r·min-1 for 10 min,the material’s oil retention rates reach 76% and 80% for soybean oil and vacuum pump oil,respectively.Therefore,based on the excellent oil absorption performance,good oil-water separation effect,and floatability of the material,it provides a highly potential new route for developing high-performance,low-cost,recyclable oil-water separation materials.
