Oil spills are not generally considered a pure or even applied chemistry issue. However, this would be a very short-sighted interpretation. Effectively every element of an oil spill, whether environmental, physical, operational or legal, is related to the complex chemistry of the oil and its ...
is currently working on his research in Western Canada and has worked as a scientist on oil and chemical spills for over 30 years. His specialities include oil chemistry, spill dynamics and behaviour, spill treating agents, remote sensing and detection, and in-situ burning. Topics Chemical and...
The Effects of Oil Spills on the Rhizophora (Red Mangrove) Ecosystem in the Southern United States, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Regions Four case studies [Tampa Bay (Florida), Hillsborough Bay (Florida), Bahia las Minas (Panama), and Bahia Sucia (Puerto Rico)] were selected in this paper...
Considering the large amount of crude oils with high viscosity, it is urgent to develop a sorbent capable of ef-ficiently reducing the viscosity for the cleanup of oil spills. Inspired by the “lotus effect” and “poikilotherm which utilize the solar en-ergy for thermoregulation”, the low ...
One of the current methods for dealing with oil spills is through the use of dispersants. These dispersants, however, break oil into small globules that sink into the water, spreading the oil into a wider area, and they have toxic effects on the local marine ecosystem. Now, researchers, led...

This is why we need to clean up oil spills By November 2010, almost 7000 large marine animals including birds, turtles and dolphins had turned up dead. Scientists predicted the hidden impact on smaller organisms like fish, plankton and deep-sea corals to be even greater. Persistent PAHs contin...
In fact, these are surprisingly minor attributes compared with the potential fungi have for cleaning up the environment in processes as diverse as detoxifying noxious chemicals, removing oil spills or helping reduce animal wastes. 原文传递 原文传递并翻译 示例 加入购物车 收藏 分享 ...
