Influence of Starch Cross-Linking on the Performance of Cellulose Aerogels for Oil Spills Sorption

Gels, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 11(6), P. 386 - 386

Oil spills represent a significant environmental threat due to the toxicity of hydrocarbons, particularly in aquatic environments where oil rapidly spreads across surface. Sustainable sorbents are needed for an efficient and eco-friendly response spills. Cellulose aerogels produced from recycled paper cardboard exhibit promising properties such as buoyancy, light weight, biocompatibility, recyclability. Mechanical stability reusability can be enhanced using cross-linkers starch. This study evaluated impact starch on cellulose aerogel morphology, sorption capacity various petroleum products (crude oil, marine diesel, lubricating oil), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) elemental mapping. Aerogels containing 0.5 1 wt% showed higher porosity, capacity, reusability. Starch did not affect hydrophobization or significantly alter nitrogen carbon levels, indicating limited influence surface chemistry adsorption performance.
