Oil sorbents are one of the most used methods for remediation processes of oil spills. This short review investigates the use of various sorbents for oil spill clean-up. the absorbents represent: natural sorbents, mineral sorbent, synthetic sorbent, commercial sorbent. The absorption capacities, ...
Ecotoxicological effects of (larger) oil spills have also been described in great detail, but as a consequence of the accidental nature of spills and the typical delay in detection, their early impacts are poorly documented. Dissolved and dispersed hydrocarbon concentrations in the seawater to which...
These short-term events are expected to fluctuate stochastically compared to longer-term climatic drivers, and therefore the extent of and mechanisms by which each affect movement may be variable. While the spatial impacts of macroscale events are relatively well-studied, effects of shorter-term ...
The authors investigate and compare the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill disaster with the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster to determine whether oil spill prevention and oil spill risk management have advanced over time. The study recounts facts, analyzes features of both incidents, and ...
Another concern arising from the ready-mix concrete operations which may affect the soil and ground water quality is the spills or leaks that may occur from the storage containers used for diesel, motor oil, and chemical admixture. In 2013, the average production rate of concrete is more than...
