Millennium Wool Effectively Adsorbed Oil Spill In Gulf Of Mexico
Recently,
wool
As an ideal oil absorbing cable filled fiber, it has played a great role in the handling of the oil spill in Mexico Bay, which has attracted the attention of the people of the world.
In April 20th, the explosion of an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico caused by BP's massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was the most serious environmental disaster in the history of the United States.
The disaster not only endangers life, employment, marine life, wildlife, tourism and human health, but also causes property losses and mental suffering to many people.
So far, the impact of the disaster has not yet been determined. Some authoritative scientists believe that the danger will spread to Europe and the Arctic.
Outside the Gulf of Mexico, we can only read the news of the press and listen to the latest progress of radio broadcasting, but there is nothing we can do about it.
And the wool industry is actively exploring, hoping to lend a helping hand in the process of cleaning up the oil spill.
Wool is an ideal oil absorbing cable filled fiber.
Experiments prove that
wool
It can absorb oil equivalent to 40 times its own weight.
Wool absorbs pollutants rather than absorbs them.
This means that after separating and recycling the oil from wool, the wool can continue to be used several times until the adsorption efficiency is weakened.
To clean up the oil spill, volunteers in the Gulf of Mexico have produced miles of oil absorbing cables.
The main filler of these oil absorbing cables is polypropylene, and its absorption effect is not as good as that of hair.
wool
。
To help the people there get better oil fillers, the New Zealand wool board has contacted the manufacturers in the Americas, calling on them to donate waste wool to clean up the oil spill.
The waste wool was pported to the Matter of Trust charity, where thousands of pounds of hair, wool and feathers have been stored, which will be used to make oil absorbing cables and clean up the leaked oil.
Wool was once used to recycle oil.
During the first Iraq war in 1991, New Zealand shipped a large number of
Wool suction line
To the Persian Gulf.
These wool oil absorbing cables successfully cleared millions of tons of oil that had been leaked by Iraqi soldiers.
It's not surprising that wool works.
Because wool is natural, biodegradable, natural water repellent and buoyancy, it has powerful storage function.
Wool is indeed a magical fiber.
Although it has been around for thousands of years, it often surprises us that wool helps people to improve their environment.
