Just imagine if the solution to an oil spill was this simple: Sprinkle a small amount of a non-toxic powder onto the layer of oil and in seconds the powder bonds to the oil, forming a sponge-like material that can be easily removed from the surface of the water. It's more than just a dream... a new form of superabsorbent polymer technology is changing the way environmental scientists approach oil spill and waste management problems. The results are amazing!
