Abstract:
      Using sugarcane bagasse screen residue (sugarcane pith) as raw material, hydrophobic sugarcane pith microparticles (HMSP) were prepared through ethanol pretreatment, mechanical grinding, and dry modification with alkylene ketone dimer (AKD). HMSP were then used to prepare HMSP/polyurethane composite foam materials. The results showed that ethanol pretreatment and mechanical grinding could increase the content of alcoholic and phenolic hydroxyl groups in HMSP; Furthermore, these hydroxyl groups reacted with AKD could significantly enhance the hydrophobicity of HMSP. After modification with AKD, the prepared HMSP75 derived from sugarcane pith microparticles with a particle size of ≤75 μm exhibited the highest water contact angle of 152.12°. When HMSP75 was incorporated into the polyurethane system, it markedly improved the pore structure and mechanical properties of the prepared HMSP/polyurethane composite foam materials. The HMSP-10-PUF prepared with a 10% HMSP75 mass fraction exhibited the highest water contact angle, reaching 135.02°. At strain of 70%, the compressive stress of HMSP-10-PUF was approximately 0.35 MPa. It exhibited excellent oil-water separation performance in both “floating oil-water” and “sinking oil-water” mixed systems, with an oil absorption capacity of approximately 25 g/g for dichloromethane as simulated oil phase. Moreover, its oil absorption capacity remained at over 80% of the initial value even after 10 times of adsorption-desorption cycles.
