Removal of Oil from Movie Shooting by EPDM Foaming Material

Movie shooting caused large quantities of oil emissions into the surrounding frequently , the water quality could be contanminate. EPDM rubber was chosen as the main matrix to prepare foam oil absorption material by simple melt blending and molded foaming. The impact of DCP and AC on oil-absorbing properties of materials was studied, and the optimal amount of DCP and AC was 1.5Phr and 10Phr; Through foaming process, the oil absorbency was greatly improved, and the maximum oil absorbency was 12.73g/g which was increased by 566.5% compared to the corresponding solid material. This composite is an inexpensive, convenient and high efficiency material for removing oils from movie shooting.
