A mannitol based phase selective supergelator offers a simple, viable and greener method to combat marine oil spills

Abstract

Though phase selective organogelators (PSOGs) are thought to be useful for oil spill recovery, all known PSOGs require a water-miscible carrier solvent for their introduction. Providing a simple, cheap, green and practical solution to the problem of oil spills, we report a nontoxic super-PSOG that can be sprayed aerially in a carrier solvent destined to get co-congealed with the oil.
