Abstract. To improve the oleophilic and hydrophobic properties of two different types of polyurethane sponge (flexible, FPU, and rigid, RPU) for oil spill cleanup, acrylamido phenyl chalcone palamitamid, a recently synthesized monomer with long chains of linear alkyl groups, was in situ crosslinked with divinylbenzene. Grafted PU cubes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The water sorption of ungrafted FPU and RPU decreased from 18.05 and 15.66 to 7.31 and 7.06 for grafted FPU and RPU, respectively. The effect of oil type on the sorption capacity testing was explored and compared using crude oil, diesel fuel, and water-oil systems. It was found that the crude oil and diesel fuel sorption of grafted FPU and RPU cubes was increased compared with ungrafted FPU and RPU cubes, and the maximum values for adsorption were recorded using crude oil. These results can be explained by increasing the adherent forces between the adsorbent and the oil surface with increasing oil viscosity, and consequently, the oil adsorption increases. The high oil absorption capacity is mainly attributed to the high porosity of the sponges. The modified FPU and RPU cubes can be effectively used in oil and water spill cleanup.
Resumen. Para mejorar las propiedades oleófilica e hidrofóbica de dos tipos diferentes de esponjas de poliuretano (flexible, FPU y rígida, RPU) para la limpieza de derrames de petróleo, se llevó a cabo una reacción de entrecruzamiento in situ con divinilbenceno a partir de acrilamido fenil chalcona palamitamida, un monómero recientemente sintetizado y que contiene cadenas largas de grupos alquilo lineales. Los cubos de PU injertados se caracterizaron mediante espectroscopía infrarroja por transformada de Fourier (FTIR) y microscopía electrónica de barrido (SEM). La sorción de agua de FPU y RPU no injertadas disminuyó desde 18,05 y 15,66 hasta 7,31 y 7,06 para FPU y RPU injertados, respectivamente. Se exploró y comparó el efecto del tipo de petróleo en las pruebas de capacidad de sorción, utilizando petróleo crudo, combustible diesel y mezcla agua-petróleo. Se encontró que la sorción de petróleo crudo y combustible diesel de los cubos de FPU y RPU injertados aumentó en comparación con los cubos de FPU y RPU no injertados, obteniéndose los valores máximos de adsorción para el caso de petróleo crudo. Estos resultados pueden explicarse en base al aumento de las fuerzas de adherencia entre el adsorbente y la superficie del aceite al aumentar la viscosidad del aceite, y como consecuencia la adsorción del aceite aumenta. La alta capacidad de absorción de aceite se atribuye principalmente a la alta porosidad de las esponjas. Los cubos FPU y RPU modificados se pueden utilizar eficazmente en la limpieza de derrames de petróleo y agua.
