The invention discloses magnetic
polystyrene foam. Foam serves as a load matrix, the surface of the foam is loaded with a
polystyrene slice layer and Fe3O4 nano-particles covered with hollow
oleic acid, interconnected high-hydrophobic materials of a three-dimensional
network structure are provided, and the loaded
polystyrene slice layer and the loaded super-paramagnetic Fe3O4 nano-particles covered with the hollow
oleic acid serve as adsorption and magnetic
recovery carriers. The Fe3O4 nano-particles covered with the hollow
oleic acid are ultrasonically dispersed in an
ethanol solution, the foam is immersed in a uniformly-
mixed solution of the Fe3O4 particles covered with the hollow oleic acid to be ultrasonically dispersed, magnetic foam is obtained, the magnetic foam is added and dissolved in a
sodium dodecyl
benzene sulfonate solution to be ultrasonically homogenized,
styrene and
divinylbenzene are added under the N2
atmosphere, a
polymerization reaction is conducted under the effect of an initiator, namely, 2,2'-
azobisisobutyronitrile, and finally the magnetic polystyrene foam is obtained. The cyclic
utilization rate of the magnetic polystyrene foam is high, the
heat stability of an
oil absorption material is enhanced, and the application range of the material is widened.
