A method of removing a pollutant (38) such as oil from water comprises adding to the water a particulate material (40) in which the pollutant (38) is absorbable, allowing time for the pollutant to be absorbed and removing the material from the water. The material may comprise rubber and may be added to the water to form a layer on the surface thereof. The pollutant (38) may subsequently be removed from the material to permit reuse of either. |
