Abstract :
Background: A highly absorptive resin poly(butyl acrylate-co-styrene) was synthesized by the method of emulsion polymerization and initiated using glow discharge electrolysis plasma. The effects of the synthesis conditions were examined and discussed in detail. The synthesized resin was characterized by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Results: The results showed that the optimal conditions were as follows: discharge voltage 580 V, discharge time 11 min, polymerization temperature 90°C, ratio of water/monomer 4.0, and 3% of N,N-methylenebis(acrylamide). Conclusion: Under the optimal conditions, the oil absorbency was 97 g/g for chloroform and 56 g/g for xylene. In addition, the kinetics of absorption for oil was investigated, and the results indicated that the absorption process seems to obey more the first-order rate model.
