Description:

Oil spills may affect ecosystems and endanger public health. In this study, we developed a novel and dual responsive nanoclay/sodium alginate (NS) washing fluid, and systematically evaluated its application potential in oiled shoreline cleanup. The characterization results demonstrated that sodium alginate combined with nanoclay via hydrogen bonds, and was inserted into the interlayer spacing of nanoclay. Adding sodium alginate reduced surface and interfacial tensions, while increasing the viscoelasticity of the washing fluid. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate oil removal performance under various conditions. Additionally, the factorial design analysis showed that three single factors (temperature, oil concentration, and salinity), and two interactive effects (temperature/salinity; and oil concentration/HA) displayed significant effects on the oil removal efficiency of the nanoclay/sodium alginate (NS) washing fluid. Compared to the commercial surfactants, the NS composite exhibited satisfactory removal efficiencies for treating oily sand. Green materials-stabilized Pickering emulsion can potentially be used for oil/water separation. The NS washing agent displayed excellent pH- and Ca²⁺- responsiveness, generating transparent supernatants with low oil concentration and turbidity. Our work opens an interesting avenue for designing economical, high performance, and green washing agents.
