Abstract:
A quartz fiber based 3D monolithic materials was fabricated, which combines ultrahigh thermostability, remote controllability, mechanical flexibility, high water/oil selectivity, high processing capacity, and regeneration ability. This material exhibited great potential in water remediation, such as large absorption capacity (50- to 172-fold weight gain) toward oil standing in front of all magnetic sorbents and remarkable oil/water separation performance.
