Removing Oil Pollution on Water by New Burning Technique

Abstract:

Oil pollution, one of main ways for sea pollution, is seriously destroying marine environment. How to solve the problem effectively has been an important research focus in the world. In this paper, a new burning technique which is named self-sustaining burning is proposed, and it is based on seawater and specialized chemicals. The overall idea of this technique is presented, and one implementation method using familiar CaC₂ and K/Na as main ingredients is suggested. For the feasibility of this oil removal technique, experimental study is conducted. The results show that this technique can remove oil efficiently.
