  • Argonne National Laboratory researchers have invented a technology for combatting oil spills and other water contamination that surpasses current widely used technologies in multiple critical ways. To learn about licensing the technology - known as Oleo Sponge - or collaborating with Argonne on development, contact partners@anl.gov. Learn more: www.anl.gov/technology/technol...

    HEY! I am amazed by this. Can I research further on oleo sponge? where can I get information on how it was made? Thanks in advance.

    Please advise how to purchase this. Alternatively allow the oleo sponge technology to assist with the current Mauritius oil spill

    interesting, how can i have more specific information about this technology and how the sponge was made? i need it for a research paper
    thank you.

    Hi I work in promoting oil spill response products in India. Has this technology been licensed yet to any company in USA or elsewhere?

    Okay so start using it. How does this stuff get no attention?

    • @ArgonneLab
      @ArgonneLab  Před 3 lety +1

      It's a bit complicated. Oversimplifying it here, but as a national lab, we come up with the discoveries. The next step is to find an industry partner to take that discovery and bring it to market.

  • @mariak6613
    @mariak6613 Před 6 lety

    So can we send this cleaner sponge to Salamina Greece right now and test it out on a real spill!!

    • @ArgonneLab
      @ArgonneLab  Před 6 lety

      Good Morning!
      At this time, the Oleo Sponge is still in the development stage and is not yet available as a commercial product. We are not able to distribute samples because, as a research material, the Oleo Sponge has not been approved for consumer safety.
      We are in the process of identifying a manufacturing partner to transition the technology into the market, at which point such approvals would be in place. Stay tuned!

    • @sonnyx4541
      @sonnyx4541 Před 7 lety

      Roland Izulu disappointed. I've seen so many cleanup methods that haven't been used. Have you seen the iron oxide magnetic oil method or the powder that turns oil spills into a solid rubber mat that can be rolled up?

      Charles Torres Hi. No i haven't. Interested in such solutions because of massive spills over decades in Niger Delta. Do you have links of the two solutions?
