The Formulation, Development and Application of Oil Dispersants

Oil spills in open waters pose a significant threat to marine life. The application of dispersant as an oil-spill response is promising approach minimize the environmental burden caused by these accidental events. Dispersants have been accepted and applied many countries around world countermeasure responding oil due their great success advancements recent years. This review covers different approaches for design development chemical formulas dispersants with aim improve dispersing efficiencies, followed formulating non-chemical dispersants, which are more environmentally friendly approaches. encouraging properties motivate scientific communities research develop non-chemical-based dispersants. In general, this intends offer multi-perspective overall picture progress made years apply suitable combating spills.
