Oil spill cleanup process demonstration

Introduction

Exoline® Oil Stop is an innovative, nanotechnology-based adsorbent designed for the rapid capture and environmentally friendly degradation of oil and hydrocarbon contaminants. The technology combines the oxidative capabilities of calcium peroxide (CaO₂) with the synergistic effects of an organic catalyst, enabling efficient oil adsorption and photocatalytic oxidation in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. Exoline Oil Stop offers a sustainable alternative to traditional, waste-generating oil treatment methods, minimizing environmental impact. This study aims to present the technology's physicochemical properties, laboratory test results, application possibilities, and ecological impacts, with a particular focus on marine ecosystems, generated gases, and degradation mechanisms. The research builds on the 2011 - 2020 investigations by NANOCOLLTECH Ltd., which confirmed the technology's effectiveness.

Technological Foundations

Exoline Oil Stop originates from the ExoBase™ platform, a hydrophobic, vapor-permeable adsorbent made from natural materials. Its key characteristics include a specific surface area of 15.97 m²/g (BET method), particle size >4 µm, pH 11.6 in aqueous suspension, and thermal stability up to 370°C. Its composition comprises calcium peroxide and an organic catalyst, free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The hydrophobic nature ensures selective interaction with oil, while vapor permeability maintains environmental balance. CaO₂ produces oxygen upon contact with moisture (0.2-0.3 g O₂/g powder), supporting oil biodegradation.

Laboratory Results

Tests by NANOCOLLTECH Ltd. indicate that the adsorbent can bind 0.584 kg/kg of edible oil and 0.629 kg/kg of mineral oil, requiring 1,360-1,450 g of adsorbent per liter of oil. Adsorption reaches 90% of equilibrium within 1-2 minutes and can be modeled with a Langmuir isotherm (qₘ: 0.584-0.629 kg/kg). Thermoanalysis shows that oil-mixed adsorbent oxidizes from 280°C, leaving a 45% inorganic residue (CaCO₃) at 700-730°C. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model yields a rate constant of 0.5-1.0 g/kg·min, confirming rapid reaction.

Application Protocol

The adsorbent is suitable for solid surfaces (concrete, soil), water surfaces (lakes, seas), and industrial settings (workshops, refineries). Application steps include uniform dispersion, mechanical mixing (1-2 minutes), and photocatalytic degradation (60-90 days on surfaces, 90-180 days underwater). CaO₂ oxygen production and UV light accelerate oxidation, converting oil into CO₂, H₂O, and CaCO₃. At higher temperatures (35°C), degradation is 20-30% faster, while salinity (35 g/l) causes minimal (<5%) efficiency reduction.

Oil spill treatment technology in action

Degradation Mechanism

On surfaces, oil adsorption occurs within 1-2 minutes, followed by CaO₂-driven oxygen production and photocatalysis to oxidize the oil. Underwater, the sinking rate is 0.1-1 cm/s, with slower degradation (90-180 days) due to limited UV light. End products include CO₂ (2.5-3 kg/kg oil), H₂O (0.36 kg/kg), and CaCO₃ (45% inorganic fraction). Generated gases are CO₂ and trace SO₂ (<0.1%), neutralized by the alkaline medium. Toxic gases (CO, NOₓ, H₂S) are not produced.

Ecological Impacts

The technology has minimal impact on marine life. Phytoplankton photosynthesis remains unaffected, and pH changes (ΔpH <0.2) are quickly stabilized by seawater buffering capacity. When consumed by fish, the paste reacts with stomach acid, forming calcium salts that are excreted. Small quantities (1-2 g/fish) are non-toxic, though chronic PAH exposure may cause liver damage. Oxygen production (0.2-0.3 g O₂/g) enhances aquatic environments, supporting aerobic bacteria.

Environmental Benefits

Exoline Oil Stop reduces carbon footprint (2.5-3 kg CO₂/kg oil vs. 3-4 kg/kg for incineration), protects soil and groundwater, and produces no air pollutants (NOₓ, PM2.5). CaCO₃ sediment ensures long-term carbon sequestration, binding 730 tons of CO₂ per 1,000 tons of oil treated. Oxygen production improves aquatic ecosystems, and secondary uses (energy production, asphalt additives) enhance sustainability.

Conclusion

Exoline Oil Stop is a revolutionary solution for oil spill treatment. Its rapid adsorption (1-2 minutes), efficient biodegradation (60-180 days), and low environmental impact make it ideal for both terrestrial and aquatic settings. The technology protects ecosystems, reduces carbon footprint, and supports global sustainability goals, such as the UN SDG 13 (Climate Action). Its versatile applications range from household incidents to industrial disasters, while ensuring long-term carbon sequestration.
