摘要:
A polymer composition for use in the removal and recovery of oil slicks or spills floating on the surfaces of bodies or water or present on land, such as beaches comprising a foam of a blend of polyethylene and an ethylene-alkyl acrylate copolymer and a process for using such foams in the selective removal of oil from fresh water or salt water and the recovery of the absorbed oils from the foams is disclosed. The polymer composition is also for use in other applications in which absorption of liquids is desired.
摘要:
An apparatus for removing a contaminant from a liquid includes a tension element extending along a length of the liquid and may be near a bottom of the liquid. A plurality of buoyant strips having a polymer defining an open-cell foam are attached to the tension element and extend to a surface of the liquid, with at least a portion of the strips floating on the surface. The polymer may include ethylene alkyl acrylate copolymer (e.g., 100% EMA copolymer).
摘要:
An apparatus and method for capturing a contaminant present in a body of water that includes a collection media for capturing the contaminant and a structure. The collection media has a first end secured to the structure. The collection media has a second buoyant end disposed opposite the first end wherein buoyant end is a free end. The structure does not float at the water surface and holds the first end of the collection media below the buoyant second end in the water column. When the apparatus is deployed in a water column having a depth greater than the height of the apparatus, the apparatus is selectively positioned in the water column at a desired height. A method of employing the collection media is also disclosed.

摘要:
A remediation pad that includes a layer of an open cell foam material defining opposing major surfaces and a reinforcing layer that is disposed adjacent one of the major surfaces. Some embodiments include a second layer of open cell foam material disposed adjacent the reinforcing layer opposite the first layer. The reinforcing layer may take the form of a mesh or film layer and can be substantially coextensive with the major surfaces it abuts. A plurality of fastening structures can be disposed on opposite ends of the pad whereby a plurality of the pads can be connected end-to-end to form an endless loop. The fastening structures may take the form of a hook and loop fasteners. A method of employing such pads when they form an endless loop is also disclosed.
