Abstract Oily wastewater is an urgent issue threatening the ecosystem and human health. Superhydrophobic porous materials are widely concerned as promising candidates for effective oil/water separation and oil adsorption. However, superhydrophobic porous materials are still confronted with frustrations such as complex preparation processes and secondary pollution to the environment. Superhydrophobic porous materials with biodegradability and a relatively simple preparation process are more attractive to practical application and environmental protection. In this work, biodegradable and industrially applied polylactic acid (PLA)nonwoven materials were used as porous membranes, then PLA nanoparticles were loaded on the membrane surface to construct the hierarchical rough structure. The modified PLA nonwoven membrane (Nano-PLA) shows superhydrophobicity and efficient oil/water separation performance. Moreover, strong mechanical strength and acceptable toughness are obtained. This work offers an easily controlled and industrially used pathway for the design of robust, highly selective, and biodegradable oil/water separation materials.

Crude oil spills from offshore oil fields will cause serious pollution to the marine ecological environment. Many 3D porous materials have been used for oil–water separation, but they cannot be widely used due to complex preparation processes and expensive preparation costs. Here, a facile and cheap approach to disperse expanded graphite (EG), stearic acid, and Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles on the skeleton surface of polyurethane (PU) sponge to prepare the magnetic and hydrophobic composite polyurethane sponge for oil–water separation. The results show that the composite PU sponge had a strong oil absorption capacity for various oils, the oil adsorption capacities has reached 32–40 g/g, and it has become more hydrophobic. The addition of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles endowed the sponge with magnetic responsivity, and the composite PU sponge still had a strong oil adsorption capacity after several adsorbing-squeezing cycles. The magnetic and hydrophobic composite polyurethane sponge is a very promising material for practical oil adsorption and oil–water separation.
