The invention relates to a preparation method of super-hydrophobic, super-oleophylic and ultralight
sponge. The preparation method comprises two steps of performing functionalized
processing on
melamine sponge by using an impregnation method and performing a curing reaction after
processing. The
melamine sponge used by the invention has a large quantity of active functional groups such as hydroxyl groups and amino groups on the surface, the content of the hydrophobic active functional groups on the surface of the sponge is remarkably reduced after the active groups are chemically functionalized, which causes a result that the
surface energy of the material is reduced, thus the sponge is endowed with super-hydrophobic and super-oleophylic effects, and a
contact angle between the sponge and water exceeds 150 degrees; and the modified
melamine sponge belongs to an ultralight material due to density. The method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that raw materials are low in price and easy to available, the process is simple and easy to operate, the large-scale preparation is easily realized, and the like. The sponge prepared according to the preparation method has the advantages of
low density, excellent compression resistance, high oil absorbing speed, high oil absorbing rate, high oil and water separation selectivity and the like, is a novel and efficient ultralight-density oil and water separating material, and has a wide application prospect in the fields such as organic chemical
reagent treatment, oil-containing
wastewater treatment, and leaking
crude oil recovery.
