Recently

the development of green and recyclable oil-sorbents with high efficiency attracted considerable attentions from domestic and foreign scholars.Cellulose-based aerogels combine the large specific area and high porosity characteristics of aerogel-type materials with natural and renewable advantages of cellulose.After surface hydrophobic treatment

cellulose-based aerogels are very promising environmentally friendly oil-sorbents.In this work

research progress in the regenerated cellulose based aerogel-type oil sorbents

natural cellulose based aerogel-type ones

and bacterial cellulose based aerogel-type ones were systematically reviewed

respectively.Their preparation methods and oil-sorption performance were summarized.The existing problems in the cellulose based aerogel-type oil sorbents' studies and the perspectives in their future research directions were also discussed.
