A chapter in Recent Oil Spill Challenges That Require More Attention from IntechOpen

Abstract: The possibilities of the oil spill cleanup from the water environment are presented. Mechanical methods of oil recovery are described--the oil containment booms, oil skimmers, and use of sorbents. The sorption capacity of various sorbents is compared based on laboratory tests according to the ASTM F726 methodology. The results of the determination of residual oil pollution of water after the cleaning process are presented. The properties of the absorption sock during the sorption of crude oil and the oil/water mixture were also presented.
