ABSTRACT:
An oil degradation compound, comprising a mixture of a carrier, namely flour, a first oil-reactive agent, namely dry powdered mustard, and a second wetting agent, the carrier and first agent being each in a concentration which may vary from 1 to 99% by weight relative to the total amount of carrier and first agent. The wetting agent is in a small amount just sufficient to produce a paste when admixed with the first agent and carrier. The paste is destined to be spread onto an oil spill on a land surface, wherein the oil is to be absorbed by the paste and broken down into a crumbly powder, which can then be easily collected.
