FIELD: oil pollution removal. SUBSTANCE: carrier with moisture content no higher than 60% is preliminarily dehydrated to 20-48% moisture. Dehydration can be achieved mechanically: carrier is either compacted at pressure up to 10 MPa or moisture is removed when molding organomineral carrier and drying it under normal conditions. Carrier can be, in particular, high-moor or transition peat and also woodworking waste (e.g. lignin). Dried carrier is impregnated under anaerobic conditions with water-insoluble carbon-containing resins releasing in common with carbon dioxide from carrier at heat treatment for 20 to 90 min at temperature by 15-30 C superior to temperature required to release water- insoluble resins, after which carrier is cooled to temperature no higher than 30 C. EFFECT: reduced expenses with no loss in oil sorption efficiency. 2 cl
