Abstract

Oils and/or emulsions contg. oil, are disposed of by adding polystyrene foam so that they then be removed readily. Oil/emulsions form lumps when mixed with the polystyrene foam and these can be easily removed. E.g. at sea, the combined material can be moved together or picked up at the river bank and carried away. Foam used is pref. particulate and are scattered over the oil etc. ADVANTAGE - Used to dispose of e.g. motor oil/emulsions, oil from tankers or other ships which has formed an emulsion when discharged at sea.

Description

Besonders im technischen Bereich, wie Fabriken, Autowerkstätten usw. oder nach Unfällen ergibt sich die Notwendigkeit, Öle z. B. Motoröl, Altöl und/oder ölhaltige Emulsionen (z. B. verunreinigtes Kühlwasser) zu beseitigen. Auch das von Tankern und Schiffen ins Meer vorsätzlich oder aufgrund von Unfällen abgelassene Mineralöl oder der sich durch Vermischung mit dem Meerwasser sich bildende emulsionsartige Ölteppich kann nach diesem Verfahren umweltschonend beseitigt werden. Hier schafft die Erfindung Abhilfe.Especially in the technical area, such as factories, auto repair shops etc. or after accidents there is a need to oil z. B. Motor oil, waste oil and / or oily emulsions (e.g. contaminated Cooling water). Also that of tankers and ships deliberately or mineral oil drained due to accidents or getting worn out Mixing with the sea water forming emulsion-like Oil spill can be removed using this method in an environmentally friendly manner will. The invention provides a remedy here.

Geschäumtes Polystyrol wird auf das zu beseitigende Öl und/oder die zu beseitigende ölhaltige Emulsion aufgegeben und mit dem Öl und/oder der auf einer Wasseroberfläche sich befindenden Ölhaltigen Emulsion bewegt, bzw. gerührt. (Z.B. kann auf dem Meer die Bewegung durch Schiffe oder durch den Seegang bewirkt werden).Foamed polystyrene is applied to the oil to be removed and / or the oil-containing emulsion to be removed and with the oil and / or that located on a water surface Oil-containing emulsion moved or stirred. (E.g. on the Sea causes the movement by ships or by the sea will).

Dadurch wird das Öl und/oder die ölhaltige Emulsion an das geschäumte Polystyrol gebunden und es entstehen Klumpen, die leicht aufgenommen werden können. Bei einem Ölteppich auf dem Meer können diese Klumpen leicht zusammengeschoben bzw. am Ufer aufgenommen und abtransportiert werden. Vorteilhaft wird das geschäumte Polystyrol in fein zerteilter Form (Partikelform) auf das zu beseitigende Öl und/oder die Ölhaltige Emulsion gestreut. Besonders umweltschonend ist hierbei die Verwendung von Abfall-Polystyrol. Unter geschäumtem Abfall-Polystyrol im Sinne der Erfindung wird alles geschäumte Polystyrol verstanden, das zu anderen Zwecken (Verpackung, Baumaterial) hergestellt wurde oder bei einer Weiterverarbeitung als Abfall anfällt und beim Empfänger und/oder Verarbeiter nicht mehr benötigt wird. Nach den Abfallgesetzen der verschiedenen Länder ist geschäumtes Polystyrol getrennt zu entsorgen und daher leicht einer Wiederverwendung zuzuführen.As a result, the oil and / or the oil-containing emulsion to the foamed polystyrene bound and there are lumps that can be easily absorbed. With an oil slick on the These clumps can easily be pushed together at sea or on the shore be picked up and transported away. The foamed polystyrene is advantageously divided into finely divided Shape (particle shape) on the oil to be removed and / or the Oily emulsion sprinkled. This is particularly environmentally friendly the use of waste polystyrene. Under foamed Waste polystyrene in the sense of the invention is all foamed Polystyrene understood that for other purposes (Packaging, building material) was manufactured or at a Further processing occurs as waste and at the recipient and / or Processor is no longer needed. According to the waste laws of foamed polystyrene is separate to different countries dispose of and therefore easily reuse.

Nachstehend wird eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung der Verfahren nach den Ansprüchen 1 bis 4 beschrieben:The following is an implementation device of the method according to claims 1 to 4:

Mit den styroporgefüllten Netzen nach Anspruch 5. lassen sich Ölflächen auf dem Wasser eingrenzen. (Fig. 1) Damit können auch Ölteppiche von bestimmten Bereichen ferngehalten werden. Dem gleichen Zweck kann die Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 6. dienen. Ein zusätzlicher Vorteil liegt darin, daß die Absperrung selbst Öl aufnimmt. Da geschäumtes Polystyrol auf dem Wasser schwimmt, kann es vorteilhaft sein, die Vorrichtungen nach den Ansprüchen 5 und 6 mit Gewichten zu versehen, damit sie tiefer eintauchen und sich im Seegang stabiler verhalten. An einem Schwimmgürtel nach Anspruch 6. können auch Bojen befestigt sein (Fig. 2).With the styrofoam-filled nets according to claim 5, oil surfaces on the water can be limited. ( Fig. 1) This also allows oil spills to be kept away from certain areas. The device according to claim 6 can serve the same purpose. An additional advantage is that the barrier itself absorbs oil. Since foamed polystyrene floats on the water, it can be advantageous to provide the devices according to claims 5 and 6 with weights so that they dive deeper and behave more stable in rough seas. Buoys can also be attached to a swimming belt according to claim 6 ( FIG. 2).

Das mit Öl gesättigte geschäumte Polystyrol kann durch die Eingrenzvorrichtungen und/oder durch Schiffe mit besonderen Abschöpfvorrichtungen eingeholt werden.The foamed polystyrene saturated with oil can by the Containment devices and / or by ships with special Skimming devices are obtained.
