An organic absorbent product is derived from beetle-killed lodge-pole pine trees only that are made into grist, then dried, moisturized, pelletized, and ground to form fractured portions (e.g. fractured pellets or fines) of beetle-killed lodge pole pine, and a method for making the same and their usage. The absorbent product may be used to absorb and remediate various substances including, for example, petroleum hydrocarbons, a diesel range organic, a gasoline range organic, a fracturing fluid, a metal, an acid, an alkali, and animal urine. Such substances may be located in various areas such as, for example, in contaminated soils, spilled on floors or other surfaces, on the surface of water, or in drain sumps. |
