Oil Absorbents

Zeolite granules can be used as oil absorbents.  Since the granules are white, they can be easily seen when used to make dikes, barriers, or floor coverage around machinery and on shop floors. 

A safety Absorbent used by mechanics and machine shops for years. Available in bags or buckets at many different grade levels.

Spill Kits

Kits contain the essential components required to clean up a hazardous spill. Kits vary in size as well as contents. Polyethylene drum can be used for chemical and water resistant type of spills. These drums can be stored outside. Drums can be UN-specified for Shipping /disposing of used sorbent. Kits consist of  socks, booms, labels and instruction manual.

Sorbents are also available in a loose form, which can actually be sprinkled on spill. Primary loose sorbent is usually made from cellulose, peat moss, granular mineral, corncob or asimil type product. Oil only loose sorbents are great for picking up hydrocarbons. Universal sorbents are great for picking up antifreeze. It is best to determine the kinds of liquids you are using, so you can fit the loose sorbent to the type of spill. These are very useful in high maintenance areas.

Terminology Many different types of sorbants are available. The term "absorbent" has been used to described most of these products. However, products are available as  absorbents and adsorbent. Sorbent: material used to recover oil and oil-like liquids through the mechanism of absorption or adsorption or both.

Pillows

Pillows, similar to pads, are also designed to absorb spills. These may contain peat moss, cellulose, polypropylene or other absorbent type materials. They are usually thicker than pads, thus usually capable of absorbing more liquids.

Socks

Universal, oil aggressive, cellulose, com cob, peat moss or polypropylene socks are available in various sizes, usually 3"x4'. Other sizes are often used depending on the applications. They work very well on containing spills around, machinery, or to quickly contain an aggressively moving spill. In addition, socks are also available in oil only forms as well when you don’t want to absorb water. This is an excellent choice for outdoor use, where rain or running water might over saturate a sock.

Booms

Booms are very similar to socks, but are usually much larger. They are mostly used in open water clean-up applications, such as oceans, lakes and rivers. They contain stringing apparatus for use behind a boat. Booms are almost always oil only. A usual size and length is 8" x 10'. If they are any longer, they become almost impossible to remove from the water easily.

SORBENT BARRIERS FOR RADIOACTIVE WASTE

Permeable barriers incorporate sorbent materials, including zeolite, to selectively contain contaminants that are percolating from shallow land burial sites of low-level radioactive waste. The zeolites are combined with clays and other materials that retard the migration of leachate for a period long enough to allow exchange and/or decay of radioactive ions.

Beneficial qualities include:

• High cation exchange capacity

• Low cost

• Large tonnage reserves

Finely crushed zeolites are used in sorbent barrier layers. Exact specifications are dependent upon the engineered permeability of the system.

FILLERS

Zeolites are used extensively in Japan as fillers in the manufacture of paper These filler grades of zeolite have a large potential for utilization in the paint and plastics industries. Many deposits of natural zeolites contain high-brightness reserves and the potential for benefaction is increasing with improved technology for magnetic separation and bleaching of zeolite.

POLLUTION CONTROL

Natural zeolites are an adsorbent of choice for many cost effective air pollution control technologies treating the hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and listed volatile organic compounds (VOC). The need for technologically improved air purification systems has been indicated by keen client interest in the use of zeolites in controlling indoor air pollutants or "sick building syndrome". Existing filtration systems typically contain activated carbon as the adsorbent media. Because most grades of activated carbon contain large internal pores, they tend to trap a wide variety of larger molecules. Zeolites, on the other hand, contain a very small internal pores, in all cases from 3 to 5 angstroms. For this reason zeolite is a highly selective adsorbent of specific gas-phase molecules and elements. Many of the identified indoor air pollutants, including formaldehyde, chloroform, ammonia and carbon monoxide, are in a size range that is most effectively sieved by zeolite. Many promising zeolite and zeolite/carbon air purification and odor controlling systems are being developed to meet the need.
