HUMIC-LOAMY STABILISER OF OIL EMULSION IN WATER Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B01J20/24 B01J20/18 B01J20/30 

FIELD: oil-and-gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: humic substance is sorbed on the surface of dispersed particles of loamy minerals at pH 3-8. Humic-loamy complex contains 0.5-20 % of humic substance or derivatives thereof that makes 0.3-10% in terms of organic carbon and features wetting angles of 30-90 degrees. Application of proposed stabiliser for cleaning the water area surface contaminated with oil or its products involves its application of oil film as suspension or powder to make oil emulsion in water. Oil drops negative buoyancy makes them slowly immerse to bottom to be decomposed at fast rate owing to increased contact surface with aboriginal microorganisms - oil destructors.

EFFECT: cleaning without evacuation, accumulation and disposal.
