Sorbent

Mark Salt, a BP spokesman based in Houston, Texas, said the company is using something called sorbent boom, which is made of materials that attract oil, but repel water. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The researchers also added a special 'sorbent' material to trap all the carbon dioxide produced, leaving them with pure hydrogen gas. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Each will earn at least $1,200 (£875) a day - the amount depending on the size of their boat - to lay down and collect "sorbent" booms that will soak up oil on the water. ❋ Unknown (2010)

"The sorbent in the process removes all the uremic toxins and all the electrolytes," Dr. Ku said. ❋ Emily Veach (2011)

It is useful as a rapid protection boom, but not a sorbent boom. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Hard boom is being cleaned of oil by wiping it down at staging areas, and sorbent boom is being squeezed to remove oil. ❋ Unknown (2010)

And we deployed more than 3 million feet of hard and sorbent boom, including an additional 100,000 just yesterday for these parishes in Louisiana that face the greatest threat. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The flue gas desulphurisation or FGD technology involved scrubbing sulphur dioxide gas with a sorbent (limestone) to limit the emissions of sulphur dioxide to the atmosphere. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The most used skimmers during the response were the Marco sorbent lifting-belt skimmers that were supplied by the U.S. Navy. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Towing of sorbent boom in a zigzag or circular fashion behind a boat was used to collect oil and was more efficient than towing the boom in a straight line. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The released oil was then trapped with offshore boom, and removed using skimmers, vacuum trucks (useful for thick layers of oil) and boom (sorbent, snare, pompoms). ❋ Unknown (2008)

Once oil became viscous, the sorbent part of the skimmer was removed and the conveyor belt alone was sufficient to pull the oil up the ramp. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Bacchides non Bacchides, sed bacchae sunt acerrumae. apage istas a me sorores, quae hominum sorbent sanguinem. omnis ad perniciem instructa domus opime atque opipare -- quae ut aspexi, me continuo contuli protinam in pedes. ❋ Titus Maccius Plautus (1919)

Oil-Dri Corporation of America is a leading supplier of specialty sorbent products for agricultural, horticultural, fluids purification, specialty markets, industrial and automotive, and is the world's largest manufacturer of cat litter.

"We look forward to continuing to provide Stripco with our natural sodium bicarbonate blasting sorbent," said Mr. Stanton.

However, we no longer plan to installed dry sorbent injection, our DSI at our Joppa energy center.

But most importantly, this strategy will entirely eliminate the need for dry sorbent injection or fabric filters and will allow us to delay the installation of additional scrubbers in our Missouri fleet until after 2017.
