Why are oil spills hard to clean up?

 Oil pollution refers to the pollution caused by oil leakage and discharge in the process of oil exploitation, transportation, loading and unloading, processing and use, mainly in the ocean. Oil floats on the sea surface and rapidly diffuses to form oil film, which can be migrated and transformed by diffusion, evaporation, dissolution, emulsification, photodegradation, biodegradation and absorption. Oil can stick to the gills of fish, suffocate fish, inhibit the spawning and hatching of waterbirds, destroy the impermeability of their feathers, and reduce the quality of aquatic products. Moreover, the main pollution caused by offshore oil and gas production to the Marine ecological environment is oily sewage, which is the mixture extracted from the oil layer and the remaining sewage after dehydration. If the sewage is not treated and discharged into the sea, the oil contained in it will cause serious impact on Marine life and fish. Hopetopway oil absorbent pad is a good choice for oil spills in small areas. It is made of 100% lipophilic polypropylene superfine fiber nonwoven fabric and contains no chemicals. Oil absorbent pad will not cause secondary public hazards, can quickly absorb its weight dozens of times the oil, organic solvents, hydrocarbons, vegetable oil and other liquids.

What about sorbents and absorbents?

Adsorbent is the key to deal with leakage. The sorbents used for leakage treatment are usually divided into three categories: the first category is inorganic sorbents, such as granular soil, sand, silica, vermiculite, calcium silicate, silica gel, activated alumina, molecular sieve, natural clay, etc. Sawdust can be used effectively as an adsorbent, but should never be used as an active or oxidizing substance for fear of explosion. The second category is organic adsorbent, such as rice husk, sawdust, cotton, rag, straw, corn cob fragments, coarse bran, wheat germ powder, defatted corn germ powder, water-absorbing grains. The third category is synthetic adsorbent, such as Imbicator polymer-based adsorbent.

△ Due to inorganic or organic adsorbent materials (even local materials) convenient, and cheap, the vast majority of domestic oil chemical leakage treatment, especially for such inorganic or organic adsorbent dry sand. However, using clay to treat chemical spills and oil spills, while easy to use, contains materials that are very harmful to health (considered carcinogenic by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency EPA and other organizations). These loosely adsorbed materials tend to spill out liquids that absorb up to 10 times their weight. It also has obvious selectivity to adsorbed liquids, such as metal cutting fluid and engine oil, but anti-freeze and tomato juice and paint adsorption is not good. They also do not adsorb chemicals well, and usually they only absorb oil. For the same amount of chemical liquid or oil, more clay is used and more waste is produced, which greatly increases the cost of disposal. Therefore, clay is not a good adsorbent for chemical spills and oil spills.

What are the advantages of oil-absorbing pad?

1.Large adsorption capacity (10 to 20 times of weight).

2.Fast adsorption (in minutes).

3.Suspension, suitable for industrial or offshore use.

4.Clean, light and fast.

5.After absorbing the leaking liquid, it can be reused after extrusion and save money.

6.Not prone to chemical reactions (chemical resistance).

7.No decomposition, deterioration, safety and environmental protection, no combustion-supporting, no decay or mildew.

8.Can be burned or mixed with fuel treatment, high temperature incineration ash only 0.02%.

9.No dust and abrasive particles, will not affect the normal operation of equipment and damage expensive equipment.
