Oil adsorption performance of tubular hypercrosslinked polymer and carbon nanofibers

Oil is one of the important energy sources for human survival. However, the leakage problem in the process of mining and transportation caused a huge waste of oil resources. The use of adsorbent materials for recycling is currently the most economical treatment method, which has the characteristics of high efficiency and low consumption. Among various adsorption materials, one-dimensional (1D) porous materials are widely used in the field of oil adsorption due to their advantages of large aspect ratio, high specific surface area, and abundant pore structure. In this chapter, using the developed hyper-crosslinked tubular nanofibers and biomass platanus orientalis fibers as raw materials, one-dimensional tubular nanofibers with different diameters, different lengths, and different surface pore structures are obtained for oil adsorption. The effects of the pore size, length, and surface pore structure of the fibers on the oil adsorption performance are systematically investigated.
