Removal of oil contaminants by deformation of ice

а new method of removing oil spills from under the ice is proposed. It consists in deformation of the ice cover in the form of a dome by applying force created, for example, by a pontoon located under the ice when it is filled with air. As a result of different densities of oil and water, the oil is displaced by water into the resulting ice dome, from which the oil is pumped out through a hole. The physical and mechanical properties of the ice cover are presented, proving the possibility of using the proposed method in the Arctic. The schemes of deployment and operation of mobile equipment for removing oil spills from under the ice are proposed. It is shown that the proposed method for eliminating accidental oil spills can be used to collect and localize oil spills, as well as to create preventive zones that stop their spread.
