Abstract
This invention provides a semisolid complex exhibiting (i) the ability to float on water, (ii) the ability to provide liquid oil upon being deformed, and (iii) the ability to function as a fuel, the complex comprising a high proportion of liquid oil, the density of the oil being lower than the density of water, the complex also comprising fibers, the fibers being oriented in a plurality of directions, the fibers forming a framework, the framework being incorporated in the complex, the framework being substantially in the plane of the complex in case that the complex is in the form of a sheet, and the framework extending substantially over the area of the complex in case that the complex is in the form of a sheet, the complex further comprising a low proportion of bentonite, the bentonite being associated with the oil, the associating substantially involving coagulation, the oil and the bentonite being substantially held by the framework. This invention also provides a composition for causing the coagulation of a substantial portion of the oil present in a liquid upon the addition of the composition to the liquid, wherein the liquid comprises a high proportion of water and the liquid also comprises the oil, the density of the oil being lower than the density of the water, the composition comprising a mixture, the mixture comprising a high proportion of discontinuous fibers, the fibers being oriented in a plurality of directions, the mixture also comprising bentonite particles, the bentonite particles being sufficiently high in proportion for associating with a substantial portion of the oil, the associating substantially involving coagulation, and the fibers being sufficiently low in density and sufficiently high in proportion for causing the product of the coagulation to exhibit the ability to float on water. This invention further provides a method of coagulation of a substantial portion of the oil present in a liquid, wherein the liquid comprises a high proportion of water.
