To fabricate oil/water separating material with good selective absorption capacity, natural materials including cotton and calcium carbonate (CaCO₃)were selected. Cotton fibers/CaCO₃ composites were prepared by a biomimetic mineralization approach, through which CaCO₃ particles were uniformly coated on the surface of cotton fibers by an alternative soaking process (ASP). Polyacrylic acid (PAA) was first introduced onto the surface of the cotton before CaCO₃ mineralization to avoid the agglomeration of the formed inorganic particles. The prepared cotton fibers/CaCO₃ composites were further modified by sodium stearate, which is a cost-efficient hydrophobic agent commonly used to modify CaCO₃. By this way, the water contact angle of the composites increased to 145°, as compared with the water contact angle (0°) of the pristine cotton, illustrating that the surface wettability of the cotton fibers was changed successfully from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. FTIR results demonstrated that the hydrogen bonds existed between CaCO₃ and cotton fibers, which provided the binding force for the composites. A series of samples with different concentrations of CaCO₃ were prepared, and the relationship between the wetting behavior and the concentration of modified CaCO₃ were investigatged and discussed in detail. In addition, the selective absorbing capability against oil/water mixture was measured for the composite. The resultant hydrophobic cotton fibers showed good selective absorption to different oils, including vegetable oil, crude oil, paraffin oil, simethicone and chloroform, from the oil/water mixtures. The absorption capacity achieved was as high as (17.4 ±1.16), (23.6 ±1.9), (20.5 ±1.5), (22.7 ±1.2) and (27.3 ±1.0) g/g for different oils. In particular, the adsorption rates of simethicone and chloroform were maintained higher than 80% even after 30 cycles of readsorptions, indicating the good reusability of the composite fibers. All these results demonstrated that the novel hydrophobic cotton fiber/calcium carbonate composites had potential applications in the treatment of oil-water pollutants.
