To address the pollution issues of industrial oily wastewater and catering industry wastewater, a series Ti3C2Tx/TEMPO oxidized cellulose nanofibers composite aerogels with varying Ti3C2Tx content were successfully prepared using liquid nitrogen non-directional directional freezing methods, TEMPO (TOCNF) as main raw materials. The samples then hydrophobically modified methyltrichlorosilane (MTCS) via chemical vapor deposition (CVD). results showed that Ti3C2Tx/TOCNF aerogel had most orderly SEM morphology. hydrophobic exhibited efficient adsorption separation capabilities, an capacity ranging from 21.5 to 78.2 times their own mass. Notably, oil absorption performance was optimal when mass fraction 33.3%. After five cycles, M5C10 (with ratio TOCNF 5:10) only decreased by around 11%. exhibits highly performance, which is considerable significance for research on oil-water treatment domestic sewage industry.
