Experimental obtaining of new petroleum sorbents from polymer wastes

The authors of the article present the results of experiments on the creation of oil sorbents from secondary polymers. Comparison of the physical and sorption properties of the obtained sorbents showed that the rubber crumb of the fine fraction and the composite obtained from the polymer fiber of PET bottles and the rubber crumb of the small fraction possess the best sorption properties. A flow chart for the production of sorption mats for collecting oil from the surface of water bodies based on the sorbents obtained is proposed.
