PCT No. PCT/AU91/00499 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 7, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 7, 1993 PCT Filed Oct. 4, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO92/07917 PCT Pub. Date May 14, 1992.This invention relates to the use, transport, storage, recovery and re-use of chemical compounds. In particular, the invention is directed to a method for reversibly transforming organic compounds into a phase more suitable for subsequent handling but from which the original organic compounds can be readily recovered. The invention is particularly suited for, but not limited to, the recovery and re-use of liquid hydrocarbons, either naturally occurring or synthetic, and/or their derivatives, and it is expected to be especially useful in the recovery of hydrocarbons from an oil spill.
