Abstract
Process and device for converting hydrocarbons or fatty substances that are in substantially liquid form to solid form, especially for the environmental remediation of surfaces or sites polluted by these hydrocarbons or fatty substances, characterized in that the material to be converted to solid form is brought into contact with a composition heated to the liquid state, comprising, at least in the majority proportion, tallow, and optionally a fluidizing agent, thus obtaining a solid complex material, that is easy to collect, and that can be reprocessed in order to recover the material.
