Method for removing hydrocarbon products from the surface of an aqueous medium, in particular from the surface of water masses, such as sea, rivers, lakes, ponds, basins, and so forth, which consists in bringing said hydrocarbon products into contact with an elastomeric material in subdivided form, essentially constituted by an ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer, optionally containing a diene as a termonomer. The elastomeric material absorbs the hydrocarbons, with a jelly mass being formed which is homogeneous and not very sticky, and floats on water surface and can be easily collected by means of conventional mechanical means. |
