摘要: Iron powder, a non-toxic non-irritant, was tested as dry cleansing agent for oiled duck feathers. By exploiting the oil-adsorbing and magnetic properties of up to 97% oil effectively all itself, can be rapidly efficiently removed from feathers, leaving them in excellent condition. The same outcome found three different crude oils commercial grade engine oil. removal equally effective presence seawater.
