Separation of oil and water in oil spill recovery operations *
The separation of water from oil that is collected in any oil spill recovery operation is a continuing and necessary requirement during every stage of the effort. Its importance is reflected in the cost of transport and storage of large volumes of oily water, the salvage value of separated oil and the added labor costs associated with long-term recovery operations. This paper addresses the effe...
متن کاملDual-responsive two-component supramolecular gels for self-healing materials and oil spill recovery.
Dual-responsive two-component supramolecular gels with self-healing properties were prepared using tetrazolyl derivatives and alkylamine, and were also applied in selectively congealing crude oil from an oil-water mixture.
متن کاملThe Sea Empress Oil Spill : Environmental Impact and Recovery
72.000 tonnes of light crude oil were released from the Sea Empress at the entrance to Milford Haven, South Wales over a 7 day period in February 1996, in an area of exceptional environmental value for wildlife, tourism and natural beauty. Natural factors (time of year, wind direction) coupled with effective clean-up at sea (through chemical dispersion) and on shore, minimised environmental imp...
متن کاملOptimization of Hydrophobic Meshes for Oil Spill Recovery
Widespread use of petrochemicals often leads to accidental releases in aquatic environments, occasionally with disastrous results. Recent advances in the understanding of selectively wetting surfaces have led to the development of functionalized steel meshes with hydrophobic and oleophilic surfaces. These meshes can perform oil/water separation in situ, continuously, via capillary action. The g...
متن کاملFinal Report to the Oil Spill Recovery Institute
Despite large-scale development on the North Slope, no recent studies examining Alaskan arctic marine sediment microbial communities and their ability to metabolize petroleum compounds have been published. Microbial degradation of spilled petroleum hydrocarbons is a major mechanism of removal of these compounds from the environment. In this study we initiated a survey of marine sediment microbi...
