Hydrophobic oleophilic wood pulp

Treatment of high yield wood pulp which has ether extractives of greater than about 3.0% at temperatures of about 105 DEG C. or higher for at least about 16 hours followed by fluffing of the heat treated pulp results in a relatively inexpensive absorbent for oil spills and the like. The oil is readi...

More Information
Summary:Treatment of high yield wood pulp which has ether extractives of greater than about 3.0% at temperatures of about 105 DEG C. or higher for at least about 16 hours followed by fluffing of the heat treated pulp results in a relatively inexpensive absorbent for oil spills and the like. The oil is readily recovered from the absorbent or the oil and absorbent may be burned as fuel without separation.
