BIO-BASED POROUS ORGANOGEL AS FLUID ADSORBANT MATERIAL |
|
Principal investigator : Emile PEREZ

CONTEXT
Currently used adsorbant materials present many disadvantages:
-They are known to get quickly saturated on their surface not allowing then the trapping of fluids in high quantity;
-Their density, their porosity as well as their polarity cannot be controlled;
-Currently available adsorbant porous materials are either mineral-based (activated carbon, zeolite, clay…) or synthetic polymers;
-They are also hard to recycle which leads to additional costs;
-Finally trapped products are known to be hard to extract from said materials.
