The fumed silica (or Icelandic Ash} will attract the oil like a magnet. SiO2+ CH3 will ionically bond. SiOHCH will settle in bottom. A research study at Iceland Lakes near Volcano will evaluate its effect on the Oceans fish. Adding dispersed oil in a controlled area can be compared for it,s toxic effects. Fumed silica is available thru Cabot Corporation. Cabosil M5 and I also had someMt. St Hellens Ash which also is fumed silica also clumped up the surface oil.

The silica attracts the oil like a magnet. I can send photos showing how I can pick out the globs with a screened kitty litter scoop. It can be spread by air as they have been spraying Nalco Chemicals dispersant.

Alot of people think sharks are just waiting to attack you once you've entered the ocean atmosphere. That's not true, and the more people see that, the better. We "Can" go-exist and we need to do what ever it takes to bring these beautiful animals back into a healthy state of population. "Thank You" David, you always provide such wonderful information..
