Composite sorbent for liquidation of oil pollution

Abstract

A method of effective elimination and localization of oil spills using a composite sorbent has been developed. The resulting material consists of polymer waste, mineral filler and surfactant. Due to the peculiarities of the method, the resulting sorbent allows the utilization of polymer waste and has a high oil capacity. The size of the sorbent can vary depending on the specified parameters, what simplifies storage and application.
