Abstract: Selon un premier aspect, l'invention concerne un distributeur destiné à distribuer un matériau fluide, tel qu'une lotion écran solaire, comprenant un corps élastiquement déformable englobant un volume fermé avec une poche flexible éventuelle disposée dans celui-ci pour loger le matériau fluide. Un élément de rejet est également prévu, possédant au moins une ouverture de rejet, avec au moins un clapet régulant l'écoulement depuis le volume fermé ou la poche flexible et par l'ouverture de rejet. Le corps est configuré de sorte qu'un degré seuil de déformation du corps provoque la poussée du matériau fluide depuis le corps fermé dans l'ouverture de rejet ou l'augmentation de la pression du volume fermé agissant sur la poche flexible suffisamment pour que le matériau fluide logé dans la poche flexible soit poussé depuis celle-ci par l'ouverture de rejet. Avantageusement, le distributeur de l'invention permet de créer un environnement globalement isobarique qui agit de façon régulière autour de la poche flexible. Cela permet une application plus régulière de la pression agissant contre la poche flexible éventuelle et un vidage plus complet de celle-ci.

Methods for collecting petroleum or petroleum products from the surface of water include processing the surface of a film of petroleum or petroleum products using a reagent, and then collecting the product of the reaction thereof. The reagent consists in polysaccharide microgels having a mass of between 20,000 and 200,000 daltons and a particle size of between 50 and 600 nm. According to a first variant, before or after spraying the reagent, a biodegradable surfactant is used for processing a film of petroleum or petroleum products, or a portion of said film; or, according to a second variant, the reagent is first mixed with the biodegradable surfactant until achieving a ratio of polysaccharide microgels to biodegradable surfactant of between 12:1 and 2:1.
