Superhydrophobic sponges impregnated by deep eutectic solvents for the removal of crude oil components from water

During the extraction of oil from the bottom of the seas and oceans, as well as accidents of tankers and container ships transporting oil or its products, there may be leakages and the release of hydrocarbon pollutants into the aquatic environment, and consequently lead to an ecological disaster. The explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, initiated by an oil spill that spilled 4.9 million barrels of oil into the water, and this year's tanker disaster in Mauritius, highlight the problem of a lack of cheap, effective and simple methods of removing oil and hydrocarbon stains ingredients from water reservoirs. The aim of the planned research is to verify the possibility of using polymer sponges impregnated with hydrophobic DES for the removal of petroleum hydrocarbons from water.
