Abstract
For the study behind this report, Shell Donax TC 30 oil is added by percentages of 1 and 2 vol.-% to sea water samples which are taken from the beach of Florya near Istanbul in Turkey. Additionally, active and inactive rubber powder has been added by various percentages of 1, 2, and 5 vol.-% to such mixtures. After this, the result of cleaning process efficiency has been investigated after 1, 3, and 5 minutes. For comparison, carbon black has been used in another series of experiments. At the end of the different time periods, the process of cleaning by using rubber powders shows that a cleaning of over 98 % is achieved. During the cleaning process it is observed that oil is absorbed by the rubber powder and that its size becomes larger. The results make evident that rubber powders can be easily used in such new cleaning processes (at least 4 times) after the respective drying.
Kurzfassung
Für die diesem Bericht zugrunde liegende Studie wurde dem Öl Shell Donax TC 30 zu einem und zwei Volumenprozent Meerwasserproben hinzugefügt, die am Strand von Florya nahe Istanbul in der Türkei entnommen wurden. Zusätzlich wurde diesen Gemischen aktives und inaktives Gummipulver zu 1, 2 und 5 Vol.-% hinzugefügt. Danach wurde die Effizienz der Reinigung nach jeweils einer, zwei und fünf Minuten überprüft. Im Vergleich dazu wurde in einer anderen Experimentreihe Ruß verwendet. Am Ende der verschiedenen Versuchszeiten konnte gezeigt werden, dass der Prozess unter Verwendung von Gummipulver zu einer Reinigung von 98% führt. Während des Reinigungsprozesses kann beobachtet werden, dass das Öl durch das Gummipulver absorbiert worden ist und seine Größe zunimmt. Die Ergebnisse machen evident, dass Gummipulver leicht in solchen neuen Reinigungsprozessen (mindestens viermal) nach dem entsprechenden Trocknen genutzt werden kann.
