Low molecular weight gelators, methods of making such gelators, organogels comprising such gelators and systems and methods of using such gelators for the containment and/or remediation of a release and/or spill of a crude oil, a petroleum product and/or a chemical is described. In exemplary systems and methods, gels and/or emulsions formed from the combination and/or contact of such gelators and at least one of a crude oil, a petroleum product and a chemical from a release and/or spill into the environment can be used to recover these oils or chemicals while allowing the gelators to be recovered and reused to clean up or contain additional crude oil, petroleum products or chemicals.
低分子量凝胶剂,制备此类凝胶剂的方法,包含此类凝胶剂的有机凝胶以及使用此类凝胶剂进行原油、石油产品和/或化学品泄漏和/或溢出的控制和/或治理的系统和方法已被描述。在示例系统和方法中,从此类凝胶剂的组合和/或接触与原油、石油产品和化学品之一泄漏和/或溢出到环境中形成的凝胶和/或乳化物可以用于回收这些油或化学品,同时允许回收和重复使用凝胶剂来清理或控制额外的原油、石油产品或化学品。
