Abstract:

In order to realize the efficient separation of oil and water in water pollution system, poly (butyl acrylate-co-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and poly (butyl methacrylate-co-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) were synthesized by solution polymerization. The blended solution with the two polymers was used for electrospinning to prepare micro-structurally adjustable fibrous membrane material to separate different oil/water mixtures, and its separation capacity for different oil/water mixtures was explored. The results demonstrate that the fibrous membrane obtained from blending the two copolymer solutions in the volume ratio of 3∶7 shows significant separation capability for diesel/water mixture and sunflower oil/water mixture. When it is repeatedly used for 5 times and 7 times to separate the two oil/water mixtures, the separation time are lower than 390 s and 110 s, respectively. Tetrahydrofuran (THF) was introduced into the above-mentioned blended solution to adjust continually the microstructure of the electrospun fibrous membrane, and the obtained fibrous membrane is proven to separate highly viscous emulsified oil from water quickly.

Key words: poly (butyl methacrylate-co-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), poly (butyl acrylate-co-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), solution polymerization, electrospinning, oil/water separation
