Tune wastepaper to hydrophobic membranes through metal-ion-induced lignocellulose nanofibril crosslinking for oil-water separation

Herein, we proposed a metal-ion-induced surface nano-engineering technology for transforming hydrophilic waste newspaper (WNP) into a hydrophobic material suitable for oil-water separation, without using hydrophobic chemicals/materials. WNPs were swelled in a dilute ferric ion solution (i.e., 50 mM...
