ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention provides for a biodegradable absorbent material for oil or other hydrocarbon liquid spills. The material consists of a mixture of granulated foam, microbial nutrient, de-dust agent and ground cellulosic material. This mixture is superior to other absorbent mixtures because it biodegrades faster than other mineral or organic adsorbents and is less expensive than synthetic adsorbents on the market today. The material is useful in field operations, plants and shop or even home use. Another embodiment of the present invention, provides for a system for absorbing hydrocarbon based liquids spilled on a surface using the absorbent material described.
