Managing oil spill residues washing onto sandy beaches is a common worldwide environmental problem. In this study, we have analyzed the first-arrival oil spill residues collected from two Gulf of Mexico (GOM) beach systems following two recent oil spills: the 2014 Galveston Bay (GB) oil spill, and the 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill. This is the first study to provide field observations ...

Crude oil spilled from the Herbaysprit in Oecember 2007 and contaminated Tae Ann Sound shoreline. A weathered oiled sediment collected at the spill area (Tai Ann beach) from 3 months to 12 months after the spil l. The fingerprinting and data interpretation techniques oil spill characterization and identification studies and environmental investigations discussed indude oil spill identification ...

Characterization of rheological behavior of alkali-surfactant-polymer (ASP) solution and oil emulsion is difficult, due to the complex chemical components and various physiochemical reactions with oil during chemical flooding. Through rheological experiments of ASP and crude oil emulsion, this paper presents the studies on influencing factors of rheological behavior, including interfacial tensi...

the pomegranate seeds of four iranian commercial varieties  (abanmahi (ab), malas (ms), pust sefid (ps) and shahvar (sh)) were evaluated in terms of some quality properties including protein, oil, dietary fiber, mineral contents and fatty acid composition. physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of pomegranate seed oils (psos) were also determined. the oil antioxidant activity was m...

This article contains experimental data and images for the physical characterization of oil in water emulsions. Mentioned data are related to the research article "Effect of stabilizers, oil level and structure on the growth of Zygosaccharomyces bailii and on physical stability of model systems simulating acid sauces" (A.L. Zalazar, M.F. Gliemmo, C.A. Campos, 2016) [1]. Physical characterizatio...

Title: CHARACTERIZATION OF OLIVE OILS COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES Shane Adam Ardo, M.S., 2005 Directed By: Associate Professor Liangli Yu, Department of Nutrition and Food Science This research examined 30 olive oils commercially available in the United States for their fatty acid composition, oxidative stability, and antioxidant capacities. The olive oils in this study differed...

cheese has high nutritional value in human health although is naturally poor in essential fatty acids. essential fatty acids revealed crucial roles in nutritional diet and have been suggested as disease prevention agent. protulaca oleracea (purslane) has considerable amounts of omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids as well as magnesium, potassium and vitamin c. the aim of this study is production and ch...

Due to its higher price, compared to other edible oils, control of adulteration of the olive oil is one of the main aspects to be evaluated in its quality control. Adulteration with hazelnut oil is one of the most difficult to be detected due to the great similarity existing in the composition of hazelnut and olive oils; both virgin olive oil and olive oil are subjected to that kind of adultera...

This paper discusses a new nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method that can provide wettability, saturation, and oil viscosity values in rocks partially saturated with oil and brine. The method takes advantage of two new technological advances in NMR well logging—the MRF* Magnetic Resonance Fluid Characterization Method and NMR “diffusion-editing” (DE) pulse sequences. We discuss the principles...

A molecule-based characterization methodology was developed for correlation and prediction of assays and properties for crude oil and petroleum fractions. From readily accessible crude oil, the assay data such as distillation curve, API gravity, and PNA contents, identifies an optimal set of chemical compositions of model hydrocarbon molecules that were designed to mimic measurable physical and...
