Nanoclay-modified polyurethane foams for adsorption of oil from water using a pilot-scale continuous process

Key Points

• Effective adsorption of oil from water was achieved with modified polyurethane foams.
• The continuous process demonstrated significant efficiency, reaching oil removal rates up to 90%.
• Pilot-scale continuous processing was employed to evaluate the oil adsorption capabilities.
• This approach highlights potential solutions for environmental cleanup, particularly in oil spill scenarios.
