Egg yolk biomass derived carbon material as a highly efficient and reusable hydrophobic oil-absorbent

Recent Advances in Biomass-Based Materials for Oil Spill Cleanup

“…There are many methods have been investigated to recycle biomass materials, namely mechanical squeezing, heating, solvent extraction, burning, and vacuum filtration [ 43 , 44 ]. By controlling the heating temperature to the boiling point of the absorbates, the solvent-saturated sorbents could be recycled [ 45 , 46 , 47 ]. However, it is limited to the low boiling point solvents (such as hexane, chloroform, etc.)…”

“…By using magnetic nanomaterials to fabricate nanocomposite biocarbon-based aerogels has drawn increasing interesting because it is easily and available to separate oil from the water via magnetic techniques. The magnetic nanomaterial, Fe, have been adopted in biomass-based carbon aerogel for simultaneously achieving the magnetic property and porose structure, such as popcorn [ 164 ], egg yolk [ 45 ], etc. Notably, the Fe/egg yok derived carbon aerogel made by Hossein et al can be deposited on the sponge via simple dip-coating method for the application of oil-water separation [ 45 ].…”

By simply decorated with Fe O nanoparticles on the surface of cotton-derived carbon aerogel, Lu et al prepared superhydrophobic carbon aerogel with magnetism and rough surface contributing to the achievement of high sorption capacity for various organic solvents and oils (61–113 g g ) [ 93 ].…”

Recent advancement of biomass-derived porous carbon based materials for energy and environmental remediation applications

“…Apart from pharmaceutical compounds, biomass/waste-derived porous carbons have also been inspected by many researchers for the removal of pesticides, 284 phosphates, 285 caffeine 286 and oil pollutants. 287 To that end, Cansado et al developed chemically AC from a mixture of synthetic polymers (PET and polyacrylonitrile (PAN)) by KOH and K 2 CO 3 treatment with high surface area of 2828 m 2 g −1 . The as-obtained material was utilized as an efficient adsorbent toward pesticide (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA)) removal and demonstrated better results than commercial AC.…”

Gold nanoparticles immobilized on N‐doped ordered mesoporous carbon: An efficient catalyst for A3 and KA2 coupling reactions

“…[57] On the other hand, by introducing ordered mesoporous silica at the Mobil Company, nanocasting method has been developed as an interesting approach for synthesis of OMC materials in the late 1999. [58] Due to their fascinating characteristics such as high surface area, large pore volume, uniform and adjustable mesostructure and pore size, and good chemical and thermal stability, OMC materials have found a vast applications in different fields such as adsorption, drug delivery, [59] separation, [60] oil absorbent, [34] dye adsorption, [61] catalysis, [35,62,63] and energy storage. [32,64,65] Therefore, it would be a scientific duty to introduce new precursors for synthesis of heteroatom-doped OMC material based on renewable biomass resources.…”
