Responding to emergencies involving spills of hazardous liquids is a time-critical process that can save lives and protect the environment. Currently, stopping a leak from a damaged vessel is limited to time-consuming manual approaches such as patching and plugging holes with inert materials such as wood, sand, plasters or specialized fabrics. The process is rendered more difficult when the liquids are under pressure, making the current approach ineffective. Recently, urethane rubber mats embedded with permanent magnets have been developed by Neothane Inc to instantaneously stop leaks from vessels made of ferrous metals, drastically improving the response time and outcome of emergency interventions. Unfortunately, many vessels used to transport hazardous liquids and gases use non-ferrous metals, making magnetic mats unusable. Electromagnetic interactions with non-ferrous metals are possible with alternating currents, and are exploited in braking systems and waste sorting facilities. Here, we will work with Neothane Inc to design specialized electromagnets so that they can provide a strong attractive force with non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, in order to create an active retention system for hazardous spills.

应对涉及危险液体泄漏的紧急情况是一个至关时间的过程，可以挽救生命并保护环境。目前，停止从损坏的船只中泄漏的限制是耗时的手动方法，例如用木材，沙子，冰块或专门的织物来修补和堵塞孔。当液体处于压力下，使当前的方法无效时，该过程变得更加困难。最近，Neothane Inc开发了嵌入了带有永久磁铁的氨基烷基橡胶垫，以立即停止因铁质金属制成的容器的泄漏，从而大大改善了紧急干预措施的响应时间和结果。不幸的是，许多用于运输危险液体和气体的容器使用非有产金属，使磁垫无法使用。与非有产金属的电磁相互作用与交替电流相互作用，并且在制动系统和废物排序设施中被利用。在这里，我们将与Neothane Inc合作设计专门的电磁体，以便它们可以用铝等非有产金属提供强大的吸引力，以创建用于危险溢出的主动保留系统。
