    摘要: By applying a polymerization catalyst or polymerization initiator directly to a liquid-absorbent or liquid-adsorbent (hereinafter collectively referred to as nullliquid-sorbentnull) substrate, preferably a porous geotextile in sheet material form, to form a polymerization-initiating substrate or sheet material, a slurry of a monomer and a water-absorbent clay that is subsequently embedded in the porous substrate will have its monomer content sufficiently contacted by the polymerization catalyst or polymerization initiator for complete polymerization of the embedded monomer to form embedded polymer solids and clay, without the monomer partially polymerizing before contacting the substrate. It has been found that polymerization of the monomer while in contact with the substrate achieves best results in retention of embedded and interlocked polymer and clay solids. Preferably only the polymerization catalyst or polymerization initiator, and optionally a cross-linker for the monomer, and/or a polymer neutralizing agent, together with any carrier, such as water or an organic solvent, are applied to the liquid-sorbent substrate prior to embedding the monomer into the substrate. In another embodiment, the cross-linker and/or the polymer neutralizing agent are embedded into the substrate together with the polymerization catalyst and/or polymerization initiator.

    摘要: Apparatus in fluid communication with a water leg portion of a hydrocarbon-contaminated water, e.g., a water leg portion of an offshore drilling or production platform sump tank for conveying water, separated from oil, into contact with organophilic media canisters such that the hydrocarbons and other organic materials commingled with the sump tank water will be adsorbed onto the organophilic media and detected by the embedded probe in selected canisters. The canisters are provided in a plurality of stacks and are in fluid communication with a header disposed at the bottom of the vessel housing the various stacks of canisters. Solids that do not pass through the canisters are accumulated at the bottom of the vessel and easily drained through a drain port. The water will pass through the media and will be conveyed back to the ocean water without contamination. At some point in time, the organophilic media will become nullspentnull and at a certain nullspent levelnull, the saturated condition of the organomedia will be electronically detected by the embedded probe and alarm/control panel. The alarm indicates that the nullspentnull organophilic media should be replaced with fresh media or the spent media regenerated.

    摘要: Concentrated suspensions of smectite clays are obtained as either relatively nullthinnull or highly shear-thinning slurries that are easy to pump, by adding one or more of certain cationic polymers whose weight average molecular weight, Mw, is 50,000 or higher. It was found during the course of the invention that a cationic polymer with an Mw of 10,000 did not work, while the same polymer with a bimodal Mw of 50,000 and 30,000 worked satisfactorily. To achieve the full advantage of the present invention, the cationic polymer preferably has 1 to 10 milliequivalents of cationic charge per gram of the polymer, and more preferably 5 to 10 milliequivalents of cationic charge per gram of the polymer, and most preferably 6 to 8 milliequivalents of cationic charge per gram of the polymer.

    摘要: In accordance with the method of manufacture described herein, it has been found that by applying a polymerization catalyst or polymerization initiator directly to a liquid-absorbent or liquid adsorbent (hereinafter collectively referred to as nullliquid-sorbentnull) substrate, preferably a porous geotextile in sheet material form, to form a polymerization-initiating substrate or sheet material, a monomer that is subsequently embedded in the liquid-sorbent substrate will be completely contacted by the polymerization catalyst or polymerization initiator for complete polymerization of the embedded monomer to form embedded polymer solids, without the monomer partially polymerizing before contacting the substrate. It has been found that complete polymerization of the monomer while in contact with the substrate achieves best results in retention of embedded and interlocked polymer solids. Preferably only the polymerization catalyst or polymerization initiator, and optionally a cross-linker for the monomer, is applied to the porous substrate prior to embedding the monomer into the substrate. In another embodiment, the cross-linker is embedded into the substrate together with the polymerization catalyst and/or polymerization initiator.
