SUMMARY:Two Practical Clean-Up Applications of Oil Sequestering Magnetic P
 articles
DESCRIPTION:Poster\n\nJohn Orbell (Victoria University, Melbourne, Austral
 ia)\n\nThe appropriate application of oil-sequestering magnetic particle t
 echnology (MPT) to oil spills and the consequences thereof (so-called "mag
 netic cleansing") is a dry cleansing approach that offers a number of adva
 ntages over conventional methods of oil clean up, such as those that emplo
 y dispersants or detergents. Such advantages include the portability of th
 e technology and the high level of control over waste disposal. We have de
 veloped and describe here, two such applications. One of these provides a 
 "quick clean" to  oil contaminated animals whereby the more toxic and/or c
 orrosive contaminants are removed upon first encounter, in a matter of min
 utes  - and this may be incorporated into existing stabilization procedure
 s for the rescue and rehabilitation of contaminated wildlife. This method 
 could be particularly useful when large numbers of affected animal are awa
 iting treatment and where fumes from the aforementioned components may pre
 sent significant health risks to the rehabilitators themselves. It is anti
 cipated that a wide implementation of this technique could result in great
 ly improved survival rates for contaminated wildlife. The second applicati
 on of this technology involves the development of a "magnetic sweeper" tha
 t is designed to magnetically harvest small oil spills on workshop/factory
  floors and other surfaces such as roads and runways. This technology resu
 lts in a rapid clean-up and a very high level of control over waste dispos
 al with minimal environmental impact.\n\nTag: Preparedness, Prevention, Re
