ABSTRACT:
Compositions useful for absorbing oil from the surface of oil contaminated water, or land, constituted of a particulate admixture of wood fiber, preferably in concentration ranging about 20 to 70 wt. %, and hydrophobic, organophilic water wettable cotton linters, preferably in concentration ranging from about 80 to 30 wt. %. The compositions can be spread upon the oil contaminated water, or land, to absorb the oil, and the oil contaminated compositions then swept up or otherwise removed, and disposed of to leave the water or land surface cleansed of oil.
