It is shown that amount of absorbed hydrocarbons depends on the thickness of the film and the nature of the sorbent. It is found that the palygorskite clays have the higher sorption capacity for oil and oil products than bentonite and hydromica. It is detected that the clays absorb more oil than diesel oil.
