Abstract:
PURPOSE: To rapidly recover oil by spraying a specified quantity of silicon and starch mixed together in a specified ratio on a flexible glasswool having a specified diameter to impart hydrophobicity and forming it before drying at a specified temperature to have a mat-shaped lattice with a specified density which can be cut off and further, separating the oil after having infiltrated the oil into the mat. CONSTITUTION: 7-10% of a mixture composed of 94-96% of silicon and 6-4% of starch is sprayed onto flexible glass wool strands 18 having a finess of 5-7 μm which is formed in a high temperature, to impart hydrophobicity. These glass wools 18 are superimposed to form a mat-shaped lattice and dried at 150 deg.C in a heating furnace device 20 to form cuttable glasswool lattice mat 21 with a density of 18-42 kg/m . Then, the mat is laid on a seawater surface or the like on which oil has spread to absorb the oil. Further, the oil infiltrated in the mat 21 is removed for reuse by the thermal decomposition or the combustion at 850 deg.C. In this way, in case of a tanker accident, it can be rapidly treated.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an oil barrier for applying to the surface of bodies of water, comprising a floatable block (1) made of mineral wool that is provided with an oil binding agent, in particular SiO2 and/or acrylate-based, wherein the block (1) is surrounded by a protective nonwoven fabric (2) in order to prevent discharge of mineral wool fibers into a body of water and furthermore is surrounded by a net (3) which comprises respective tow ropes (4) at two opposite sides along a length of a block.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the production of mineral fibre mats or objects, wherein said objects are hardened after applying a binding agent such that the environment can not be influenced. The thus suitable binding agent is produced according to the known Per-Sol-Gel method and makes provisions so that the corresponding products meet all ecological requirements in Germany and in other countries. The hard elastic smooth binding prevents the environment from being influenced and advantageously protects the capillary action of the corresponding adsorber.

Date Jan. 9, 1997An oil retention barrier (1) over which oil cannot splash over when the barrier is hauled in consists of several floating partial cells (8, 15, 16) and several smaller partial cells (7, 21) that are submerged in water, arranged and joined together in such a way that a flow channel (24) is created therebetween. For that purpose, one of the partial cells (15) is positioned in front of the other floating partial cells (8, 16) and joined to the floating partial cell (8) and to the submerged partial cell (9) by spacers (18, 23) that create said flow channel (24). The floating partial cells (8, 15, 16) are filled with waterproofed glass fibers or glass fiber mats, whereas the submerged partial cells (9, 21, 26) are filled with a non waterproofed material, in particular glass fibers. The flow channel (24) prevents banking-up pressure from building up in front of the barrier (1), so that the latter can be hauled in with practically no problems. The oil (4) cannot splash over the barrier nor flow underneath it.

Date Aug. 4, 1994In order to control oil accidents and to prevent the oil film drifting on the water from spreading, an oil adsorber 1 is provided, in particular shaped as a barrier 2. This barrier 2 is designed in two parts. Both cells 9, 10 are completely filled with glass fiber material or with corresponding fiber mats 11, 12. The glass fibers 28, 30 of the top cell 9 are waterproofed, by an appropriate coating, whereas the fibers of the bottom cell 10 are not treated, so that they absorb water 6. In both cases epoxy resin or a synthetic resin having the same or similar properties are used, so that a long service life is achieved with optimum solidity and design possibilities. The oil adsorbers 1 thus obtained may be used both as barriers 2 and as flat suction elements, for example to clear bilge waters from ships 3. It is also conceivable to use the flat or funnel-shaped elements for collecting components of an aqueous solution, for example.
