The method of recovering oil leakage from the surface of a body of water, comprising the steps of mixing discrete core particles of wood material, polyethylene and finely ground coal to form particles having a high affinity for oil. The particles have a high degree of integrity, thereby permitting storage of the same at points relatively remote from the point of leakage and airlifting of the same to the oil spot. The oil-saturated particles are processed after collection for further use as a fuel source, with the B.t.u. content being as great or greater than bituminous coal. |
