The technology consists of an original industrial process by which natural materials can be turned into products with hydrophobic oil adsorbent properties. The captured oil can be extracted and recycled, and the product can be reused several times over. These products can be developed as powders or granules with varying levels of hardness, water resistance, size, and density for diverse set of applications.
Based on the raw material products can be further enhanced to inherit additional properties for heavy metal adsorption, gas adsorption, protein adsorption, and more. Specialty materials can be granulated with the technology into granules of various size and hardness.
The technology has 5 different areas of use divided into 3 main categories:
1.) Hydrophobic adsorbent granules (mainly for oil adsorption but in case of other raw materials it is able to adsorb different gases, heavy metals, proteins etc.)
a. Filtering: Industrial and environmental water purification, Gas capture, emission control
b. Cleaning: For industrial capillary systems, the focus is mainly on the food industry
2.) The hydrophobization of fine (2-300 micron particle) powders for building industry (mainly for Plaster and Cement industry)
3.) The granulation of waste materials and other materials with fine grains
a. Granulation of fine grain desert sand into larger grain size sand and high strength gravel-like fraction sand for construction purposes
b. Production of hydrophobic granules out of construction waste in order to replace natural gravel, pebbles or stone grit on construction sites
Advantages:
Potential application areas can be oil industry, ports and harbors, catastrophe and fire response, food industry and cosmetics industry (technological cleaning), water management and soil remediation (cleansing), construction industry (cement and concrete industry, road constructions, natural water resistant materials and layers, paints, insulation), environmental protection (oil contamination and gas emission control), automobile industry, airports and racing courts (oil spills), industrial filtering and more.
