The paper studies oil absorption by polyurethane sorbents synthesized at temperatures of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70C that is necessary for the development of physicochemical foundations of the oil absorbents synthesis. It is revealed that the kinetic curves of oil absorption of the obtained sorbents, as well as previously studied industrial polyurethane foams existing in a glassy state, are characterized by the presence of maximum (at 30 min), while increasing the synthesis temperature leads to a
