Oil may be removed by:
- Absorbents which preferentially absorb oil without getting (water) wet.
- Coagulants which clot the oil into an easier removed gel
- Cryogenic booms which freeze the oil on a metal surface for removal
- Oleophilic tubing systems which draw oil to a removal system
- Booms
- Insitu incineration

How can make adsorbent?
Adsorbents can be used in both air and water pollution control. In water pollution they are principally used in the collection of trace oil slicks from surface waters as a polishing step in cleaning up oil spills. Absorbents can also be used in heavier oil slicks to hold the oil on the surface as it is being vacuumed up. In air pollution absorbents can be used to remove traces of gases or hydrocarbons from air flows in small treatment systems (air intakes over gluing tables etc.) or in air filtration masks to prevent workers from inhaling gases or vapours.
There are a lot of unreported oil spills?
Large spills, particularly tanker spills, are visible from the sky. There is close monitoring of spills in the US Gulf of Mexico, for even small spills from tanker loading. However, not all accidental discharges are not reported in the US. See link. Other countries may not report minor spills, particularly if they occur in on land and in remote areas where the environmental impact is limited. There has been efforts to increase international cooperation in reporting spills. See related links.

How many shallow water drilling oil spills have occurred?
The number is not known or at least not published. The total number is spills from oil oil platforms is known and accounts for a very small percentage of all oil dumped or leaked into our waters. The number of spills is known: The Gulf of Mexico (267 spills) The northeastern U.S. (140 spills) The Mediterranean Sea (127 spills) The Persian Gulf (108 spills) The North Sea (75 spills) Japan (60 spills) Baltic Sea (52 spills) United Kingdom and English Channel (49 spills) Malaysia and Singapore (39 spills) The west coast of France and north and west coasts of Spain (33 spills) Korea (32 spills) The vast bulk are shallow spills and very few leak much oil. There are certainly exceptions but shallow oil drilling gives us far easier solutions to the situations then deep water does. The vast bulk of oil spilled into our waters is from permanent fixtures and sites. Pipelines are one example.

How do you disassemble a jaguar xk8 inside door panel?
If you look at the inside the handle you will see a small round screw cover. Remove that cover and there will be a Phillips screw in there. Remove the screw and you should be able to remove the inside door handle. Next, remove the rubber lining in the little storage compartment in the door, there will be one screw in underneath for you to remove. Next remove the small trim piece along the next to the window switch. Now you should see a small screw holding the window switch in, remove that screw and pry out the switch. Disconnect the electrical connector going to the switch. You should see one more screw that was hidden by the switch. Remove that screw. Now remove the small speaker on the upper inner corner of the door, you should be able to just pull it out. Remove the connector to it. Now you can simply start pulling off the door panel. There are tools made for this but you should be able to do it by hand. Here's a video that shows how it is done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3wMh_R3fws

What percent of oil companies repoted a spill in 2007?
It would depend on the jurisdiction as to what spills are reportable. Small spills on site, in the catchment areas of waste control systems are not usually reported except on internal incident reporting systems. These reports may be available to internal or external auditors. Larger or external spills are usually reported. In jurisdictions where spills must be reported to the government or to industry associations, all companies would have reportable spills during any given year. These would range from a few liters of gasoline at service stations to multi tonne spills from vessels or pipelines.
What year did oil spills occur the most?

Can fire be started by oil?
Yes. More correctly, oil can catch fire if it is hot enough or there is an ignition source and there is sufficient oxygen. Interestingly, most oil spills are not accompanied by fires. Many spills are small, and quickly brought under control.
