    Living near where the Gulf spill happened in 2010, I can say this could have been the best method for the cleanup instead of the polymer they used little bags of HAIR! The oil stuck to the individual hairs and were able to be removed from the gulf from ships. Great demonstration!

    Just one question. Can you recover the oil from the adsorbed polymer? Or else it creates another environmental hazard.

    Wait, so does that mean that you could use that pink precipitate to make oil back again? Like reusing it?

    • @dissidify
      @dissidify 8 лет назад

      if that was true we would probably use the polymer to store it so to prevent the spills ever happening assuming the special polymer was also reusable

    @rrbernhardt5810 6 лет назад

    A 1:1 ratio, that's great, so assuming the spill is contained, you would put a million gallons of that polymer on a million gallon spill. Of course, large spills are never effectively contained, so you would need even more polymer. How would you recover a million gallons of oil-soaked polymer, and how would you transport it? Where would you dispose of it?

      Assuming you meant soap, It will form a scum which if denser than ocean water will just sink to the bottom. Just like washing oil/grease on clothes with soap.
