The invention discloses a preparation method and application of phenolic oil-based phase separation phenolic
aerogel, and belongs to the field of high-value utilization of
coal tar. The preparation method of the phase separation phenolic
aerogel comprises the following steps: by taking
melamine foam as a framework, carbolic oil,
phenols and aldehydes as raw materials, mixing organic matters with different polarities as a
solvent and acid as a catalyst, carrying out
solvothermal reaction to obtain phase separation phenolic organogel; and
drying in vacuum to obtain the phase separation phenolic
aerogel. The phase separation phenolic aerogel with adjustable
porosity and
connectivity is obtained by adjusting the polarity and proportion of a mixed
solvent, and the aerogel can be used for solar driven interface water
evaporation. The phenolic aerogel with high
connectivity is prepared by replacing
phenols with the carbolic oil, so that the cost of raw materials is reduced, the utilization value of the carbolic oil is improved, meanwhile, the operation is simple, complex
freeze drying and template pore adjustment are not needed, and the method has a good application prospect of solar-driven interface water
evaporation.
