Methods of environment remediation using a pelletized composition for liquid solidification and moisture retention

A method of forming pelletized composition for liquid solidification and moisture retention for environmental remediation, the method comprising the steps of:

• (a) adding agricultural fibers to a pellet mill wherein the agricultural fibers are at least 60% by weight agricultural fibers of the pelletized composition;
• and
• (b) adding superabsorbent polymer to a pellet mill wherein the superabsorbent polymer is at least 0.1% by weight superabsorbent polymer of the pelletized composition, and
• (c) forming pellets in the pellet mill including the agricultural fibers and the superabsorbent polymer, wherein the pellets are substantially uniform and have a density of less than 40 LBS/Cubic Foot.

A method of treating wastewater streams in the oil and gas industry using a pelletized composition comprising the steps of:

• A) Providing a pelletized absorption material comprising
• i) agricultural fibers;
• and
• ii) at least 0.1% by weight superabsorbent polymer;
• and
• B) Blending the pelletized absorption material with a wastewater stream in the oil and gas industry.
