Аннотация:The paper presents a study of a sorption material based on leaf litter, namely: the effect of the fractional composition on the adsorption capacity in relation to oil and water, as well as the effect of fractions of the sorption material on the technological parameters of water surface purification from oil. The effective technological parameters of oil collection were found: leaf litter, fraction 1-15 mm, formed into cylindrical shapes, contrasting time 90 minutes, with oil film thickness from 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm.
