A facile fabrication of superhydrophobic and superoleophilic adsorption material 5A zeolite for oil–water separation with potential use in floating oil

A facile method for fabricating superhydrophobic and superoleophilic powder with 5A zeolite and stearic acid (SA) is reported in this study. The effect of different contents of SA on contact angle (CA) was investigated. The maximum water CA was 156.2°, corresponding to the optimum SA content of 1.5 ...

Sumario:A facile method for fabricating superhydrophobic and superoleophilic powder with 5A zeolite and stearic acid (SA) is reported in this study. The effect of different contents of SA on contact angle (CA) was investigated. The maximum water CA was 156.2°, corresponding to the optimum SA content of 1.5 wt%. The effects of SA and the mechanism of modified 5A zeolite powder by SA were analyzed by sedimentation analysis experiment, FTIR analysis, particle size analysis, and SEM characterization. The SA-modified 5A zeolite was used as an oil sorbent to separate oil–water mixture with potential use in floating oil. The separation efficiency was above 98%.
