Filler-Modified Castor Oil-Based Polyurethane Foam for the Removal of Aqueous Heavy Metals Detected Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) Technique

Abstract: The use of polymeric material in heavy metal removal from wastewater is trending. Heavy metal removal from wastewater of the industrial process is of utmost importance in green/sustainable manufacturing. Production of absorbent materials from a natural source for industrial wastewater has been on the increase. In this research, polyurethane foam (PUF), an adsorbent used by industries to adsorb heavy metal from wastewater, was prepared from a renewable source. Castor oil-based polyurethane foam (COPUF) was prod… Show more

“…It was observed in Figure 6 b that the neat CA film had a single degradation peak (T max = 386 °C), while for the CA–PUs, degradation appeared to have multiple peaks. A distinct peak at 250 °C in CA–PU15 can be attributed to the degradation of the urethane linkage [ 41 ]. In CA–PU45, this peak was joined with the cellulose acetate degradation due to the expansion of the urethane network that became more homogenous.…”

“…Activated carbon was selected because it was made of biomass, which was the focus of this research in optimizing the biomass-based adsorbent. Previous studies had reported that carbonaceous fillers can modify the material's hydrophilicity, morphology, surface charge, and surface area that of beneficial for pollutant uptake [ 23 , 24 , 25 ]. There are other options such as carbon nanotube and graphene oxide, but to obtain the structure, more complex preparation and chemicals are required [ 26 , 27 ].…”
