Cleaning oil stains
Oil stains formed in water environments, such as the ocean, sea or even rivers, are one of the environmental hazards. Oil pollution caused by port activities, marine transportation, accidents of large oil tankers, drilling of oil wells and war is a serious threat to coastal waters and harbors, which include the consequences of fire hazards in ports, pollution of coastal waters and aquatic life, disruption of the marine ecosystem. It will spoil the port environment for tourism activities.
Zeolite-clinoptilolite is a natural mineral material that, due to its properties such as porous structure and high surface absorption, as well as mechanical stability, lightness, reasonable price, and compatibility with the environment and non-toxicity, can be used to eliminate oil stains in environments Blue is very beneficial.
The patented material GMSN-Z85 is one of the products of this company, which is a type of clinoptilolite composite, of course, the amount of its accompanying compounds is more than 5%. Also, changes and structural modifications have been made in the used zeolite so that it has higher absorption and lower specific weight than normal. GMSN-Z85 is a powerful adsorbent of petroleum and hydrophobic hydrocarbons. It can absorb oil stains formed by oil spills in seas and rivers and at the same time remain floating on the water surface. Features
GMSN-Z85 is as follows:
- This substance is hydrophobic and specifically absorbs oil substances
- The specific weight of this substance is lower than water, so it floats on its surface before and after absorbing oil pollution.
- Absorbed petroleum substances become completely odorless and ineffective, and without stickiness and polluting properties, they can be easily collected with
- basic tools such as fishing nets.
- After absorbing the oil stains, even if they are not collected, these materials do not harm the environment and gradually evaporate and disappear.
- GMSN containing absorbed oil does not stick to birds’ wings and coral reefs and does not pollute and make beaches unusable.
- These materials remain on the surface of the water and do not penetrate deep, thus helping to maintain the health of the sea bed and aquatic life against oil stains.
- GMSN can be recycled after use and can be used as fuel in the same way as the absorbed petroleum materials.
This substance has been used in several naval maneuvers and its effectiveness and claims have been confirmed.
