Ferromagnetic Sorbents for Collection and Utilization of Oil Products

Abstract:

This Current paper reports the research conducted at Riga Technical University and Rezekne Higher Education Institution on the development of sorbent material, which is made of closed hollow microspheres possesses ferromagnetic properties, with a large specific surface. A review and comparison of existing sorbents for oil products collection are presented. The manufacturing process of proposed sorbent are described. The structure and morphology of obtained composite sorbent are discussed. It was found that proposed sorbent allows an efficient and safe way for surface water cleaning contaminated by spilled oil products. In particular, it shows a storing effect on a thin oil film (1-2 mm). Adsorption capacity to motor oil is investigated and compared with other magnetic sorbents on metal powders base. Newly proposed sorbent demonstrates a significantly higher adsorption capacity comparing to iron powders. Sorbent saturated by spilled oil can be evacuated by means of magnetic (or electromagnetic) captures.
