Abstract:
A solidifier for the solidification of a volume of liquid having a reference density, said solidifier comprising:a first absorbent, a second absorbent, a third absorbent, said first absorbent having an apparent density less than the reference density, whereby said first absorbent is positively buoyant relative to the liquid sought to be solidified, said second absorbent having an apparent density greater than the reference density, whereby said second absorbent is negatively buoyant relative to the liquid sought to be solidified, said third absorbent having an apparent density less than the reference density, whereby said third absorbent is positively buoyant relative to the liquid sought to be solidified, said third absorbent apparent density being intermediate the apparent densities of said first and second absorbents, said first, second and third absorbents being combined in a mixture thereof, said mixture comprising about fifty percent, by weight, of said second absorbent, about ten percent, by weight, of said third absorbent, and about forty percent, by weight, of said first absorbent, whereby when said first absorbent, said second absorbent and said third absorbent are introduced into the liquid, said first absorbent, said second absorbent and said third absorbent convert the liquid into a gel.
