Abstract:In order to prepare a new low-cost and environmentally oil-absorbing material, we use bacterial cellulose (BC) as the matrix and dealkalized lignin (DL) as the hydrophobic modifier to prepare lignin-composite bacterial cellulose (BC-DL) materials by low-temperature infiltration method. The influence of process conditions such as raw material pretreatment, reaction time, temperature and material ratio on the hydrophobicity and oil absorption properties of BC-DL were explored. FTIR, XPS, SEM, BET, contact angle meter were used to characterize the chemical structure and microscopic morphology of materials. The specific surface area of BC modified by DL increased from 33.15 m2/g to 71.09 m2/g, and the water contact angle increased from 19.5° to 116.8°. The results of the oil absorption experiment showed that the saturated adsorption capacity (OCA) of BC-DL on peanut oil, diesel oil, and vacuum pump waste oil were 34.8 g/g, 33.7 g/g and 34.6 g/g, respectively; OCA still remained in 19.1 g/g, 18.3 g/g and 18.8 g/g after 8 cycles, which demonstrates that BC-DL has good adsorption performance and recyclability for the three oils.
