[@prettybitch7870]

[@KrazyKittyTailz]

Congratulations, Argonne, and to Seth Darling's team on the Oleo Sponge!

[@davidbean4365]

[@keithmci1]

[@dedeyebovii7453]

I wish we had been shown the saltwater tank after it had been cleaned up with oleo sponge

[@caroltiton1380]

We need it right now in Mauritius :(

[@amandeepkaur3288]

from where i can get this sheet

[@dalalsq]

interesting, how can i have more specific information about this technology and how the sponge was made? i need it for a research paper thank you.

[@ArgonneLab]

Hi. More information here - www.anl.gov/articles/argonne-invents-reusable-sponge-soaks-oil-could-revolutionize-oil-spill-and-diesel-cleanup

[@aaminadinat5694]

Please advise how to purchase this. Alternatively allow the oleo sponge technology to assist with the current Mauritius oil spill

[@mairakaleem1484]

HEY! I am amazed by this. Can I research further on oleo sponge? where can I get information on how it was made? Thanks in advance.

[@digvijayvelapure6617]

Hi I work in promoting oil spill response products in India. Has this technology been licensed yet to any company in USA or elsewhere?

[@ArgonneLab]

Hi! Thank you for your interest! Please send an email to [e-mail] for all inquiries. They can best help you there.

[@aishwaryasrinivasan8704]

I am a data scientist at itech mission and wish to use the video for social causes. What are the terms and conditions?

[@ArgonneLab]

Hi Aishwarya! Thanks for writing us. Please send a request to [e-mail] and include a description of the social causes for which you'd like to use the video. Keep in mind that we are a government facility and a non-profit so none of our materials may be used to sell products or services of any company. We look forward to hearing from you!

[@allonahmirasol3324]

Can we buy one?

[@rashmilvernekar3001]

is this product being used in any of the oil company ?????

[@QuieroLeerSrtaAle]

That's amazing , Congrats !

[@zayedalmaamri3166]

Can I have some sample for school project

[@mariak6613]

So can we send this cleaner sponge to Salamina Greece right now and test it out on a real spill!!

[@ArgonneLab]

Good Morning! At this time, the Oleo Sponge is still in the development stage and is not yet available as a commercial product. We are not able to distribute samples because, as a research material, the Oleo Sponge has not been approved for consumer safety. We are in the process of identifying a manufacturing partner to transition the technology into the market, at which point such approvals would be in place. Stay tuned!

[@poltomo]

Okay so start using it. How does this stuff get no attention?

[@ArgonneLab]

It's a bit complicated. Oversimplifying it here, but as a national lab, we come up with the discoveries. The next step is to find an industry partner to take that discovery and bring it to market.

[@Tata-iu3fy]

Amazing

[@donjuanmatus4977]

have the oil companies pay for the clean up

[@marcelopons8050]

Chemistry period 7? :0

[@jessicarussell2587]

Please help With the environmental disasters caused by the train derailments all over the United States leaking contaminants and oils into the water.

[@sonnyx4541]

Four comments?

[@joshnengi]

Shocking?

[@sonnyx4541]

Roland Izulu disappointed. I've seen so many cleanup methods that haven't been used. Have you seen the iron oxide magnetic oil method or the powder that turns oil spills into a solid rubber mat that can be rolled up?

[@joshnengi]

Charles Torres Hi. No i haven't. Interested in such solutions because of massive spills over decades in Niger Delta. Do you have links of the two solutions?
