“…Ex situ involves the excavation of contaminated soil for treatment in aboveground. The soil may be transported to special facilities where remediation may be carried out in special reactors or vessels, which are specially designed for this purpose (ex situ or in tank method) [36]. An example of this process is the washing of heavily polluted soils in special tanks.…”

Soils polluted by waste lubricant oils may affect the hydrosphere compromising the quality of drinking water resources and threatening the aquatic ecosystems. The objective of this study focused to remove waste-lubricant oils from different polluted sites in El-Minia governorate. In this respect some samples were collected from four different industrial sites and identified as sand, loamy sand, clay loam and loam. Then the field conditions were simulates using two experimental models packed with contaminated soil. The remediation processes carried out in both models using surfactant enhanced by air injection then by water washing. The parameters such as soil type, soil heterogeneity, time and washing process was investigated. The results indicated that the high efficiency of oil removal is obtained from sand where the clay loam gives the worst results. The results also reveal that, the high flushing and washing duration time can be attributed to the high percentage of mud in some sites over other sites. This means that the performance of surfactant flushing/water washing can be adversely affected by geologic heterogeneity. Finally, it's suitable to use pressurized liquid technologies in heterogeneous media, but cleanup times will be longer and more difficult than for the other similar homogeneous media.

“…The natural formation of OPAs in situ was first confirmed by microscopic observations that were made following the Sea Empress spill in 1996 (Lee et al, ). OPAs were also observed to play a significant role in the remediation of experimentally oiled beach plots that were part of the Svalbard shoreline field trials (Lee et al, ; Sergy et al, ). In addition to marine environments, OPAs have also been observed to form in freshwater systems impacted by oil spills (Fitzpatrick et al, ).…”

“…During this study, OPA formation resulting from the surf washing efforts was verified, for the first time, using microscopic analyses (Lee et al, ). A pilot‐scale study, called the Svalbard trials, utilized experimentally oiled beach plots to test the efficacy of surf washing compared to natural attenuation and to obtain further microscopic observational data for OPA formation (Lee et al, ; Sergy et al, ). These studies have demonstrated that surf washing can greatly accelerate natural OPA formation and can help reduce the amount of residual oil trapped in the shoreline system.…”

Crude oil that is spilled in marine environments often interacts with suspended sediments to form residues that can impact the recovery of the affected nearshore ecosystems. When spilled oil and sediment interact, they can form either small microscopic aggregates, commonly referred to as oil‐particle aggregates, or large macroscopic agglomerates, referred to as sediment‐oil agglomerates or sediment‐oil mats. Although these different sized oil‐sediment residues have similar compositions, they are formed under different conditions and have different fates in nearshore environments; the goal of this review is to synthesize our current understanding of these two types of residues. We believe that researchers who focus solely on studying either microscopic aggregates or macroscopic agglomerates could benefit from understanding the research findings available in the other field. In this study, we compare and contrast various processes that control the formation, fate, and impacts of these two types of residues in nearshore environments and point out some of the knowledge gaps in this field. Additionally, these residues have been referred to by many names in the past, leading to confusion and misconceptions at times. In this effort, we recommend a uniform nomenclature to distinguish them based on their physical size. Our overall aim is to bridge the gap between microscopic and macroscopic oil‐sediment residue literature to foster a robust exchange of ideas, which we believe can lead to the development of efficient strategies for managing oil spills that affect nearshore environments.

“…Oil plays an irreplaceable role in economic development, but it also brings serious environmental pollution problems due to accidents and improper reprocessing in the actual production process [3,4]. The direct combustion method is usually adopted to remove the oil pollutants in the follow-up treatment of the offshore oil spill [5,6]. However, direct burning of oil will not only cause a waste of resources but also pollute the air.…”

Plant-Inspired Layer-by-Layer Self-Assembly of Super-Hydrophobic Coating for Oil Spill Cleanup

A versatile, facile, energy-saving, low-cost and plant-inspired self-assembly strategy was used to prepare super-hydrophobic coating in this study. Concretely, an appealing super-hydrophobicity surface was obtained by designing a molecular building block phytic acid (PA)-Fe (III) complex to anchor the substrate and hydrophobic thiol groups (HT). The facile and green modification method can be applied to variety of substrates. The as-prepared PA-Fe (III)–HT coated melamine composite sponge possesses both super-hydrophobic and superlipophilicity property. Moreover, it displays superior efficiency to separate the oil–water mixture and splendid oil spill cleanup.
