The resulting pollutants pose significant threats to air, water, soil, plant and animal survival, as well as human health. In this study, microcrystalline cellulose served as the matrix and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as the initiator, while butyl acrylate (BA) and N,N\u2032-methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) were employed as graft monomers. Through free radical graft polymerization, cellulose-graft-poly(butyl acrylate-N,N\u2032-methylene bisacrylamide) [Cell-g-P(BA-MBA)], possessing oil-adsorbing properties, was synthesized. The chemical structure, elemental composition, surface morphology and wetting properties of the graft polymerization products have been characterized, using infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy and contact angle testing. The adsorption properties of Cell-g-P(BA-MBA) for various organic solvents and oils were then assessed. The experimental results demonstrated that Cell-g-P(BA-MBA) exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity of 37.55 g\/g for trichloromethane. Adsorption kinetics experiments indicated a spontaneous and exothermic process involving physical adsorption, conforming to the Freundlich isotherm model. Furthermore, adsorption kinetics experiments revealed that Cell-g-P(BA-MBA) displayed favorable reuse and regeneration performance, maintaining its adsorption capacity essentially unchanged over fifteen adsorption\u2013desorption cycles.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma17020325","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,9]],"date-time":"2024-01-09T03:36:58Z","timestamp":1704771418000},"page":"325","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Preparation and Oil Adsorption of Cellulose-graft-poly(butyl acrylate-N,N\u2032-methylene Bisacrylamide)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Peng-Xiang","family":"Guo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine College, Shandong University, Weihai 264200, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xin-Gang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine College, Shandong University, Weihai 264200, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-5244-4300","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mao-Qian","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine College, Shandong University, Weihai 264200, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian-Xin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine College, Shandong University, Weihai 264200, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fan-Jun","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine College, Shandong University, Weihai 264200, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3038","DOI":"10.15376\/biores.8.2.3038-3097","article-title":"Cellulosic Substrates for Removal of Pollutants from Aqueous Systems: A Review. 3.
