Scientific novelty
An oil sorbent has been developed for cleaning coastal areas and wetlands from oil products, based on foamed phosphate glasses with oil-degrading microorganisms immobilized on their surface. This material, being a phosphorus fertilizer, simultaneously cleans the area and promotes land reclamation.
Advantages
A distinctive feature of the oil sorbent is that there is no need for its collection and subsequent disposal, as complete decomposition of oil products occurs on its surface at a high purification rate, and the material itself dissolves in the soil or at the bottom of a water body, turning into fertilizer.
Commercial implementation
The oil sorbent is used in areas of oil product spills (for example, near oil transshipment terminals, oil pipelines, pumping units, gas stations, repair shops, etc.).
