Unlike chemical dispersants, the feathers avoid contamination at the time of their application, and the costs are lower with respect to the methods commonly employed. 3. Field of application: Solid or liquid surfaces that have undergone hydrocarbon pollution produced by an oil spill. 4. Alternatives: None exist. 5. Example: The feathers are located inside a mesh of open weave and then said meshes are laid on the surface contaminated with hydrocarbons to be treated, after absorption of the hydrocarbons on the part of the feathers, said meshes are withdrawn and their recycling takes place.
