“…36 Their future deployment in the Arctic should be dependent on the results of toxicity tests of chemically dispersed oil at realistic concentrations and exposures using representative Arctic species. 38 The addition of demulsiers at low concentrations can facilitate oil-water separation because they counter the effects of emulsiers naturally present in oil. Therefore, emulsion breaking and oil recovery must be attempted at the earliest stage in the oil spill response.…”

“…There are several types of booms: an above-water freeboard to contain the oil and to prevent waves splashing over the top; a otation device; a below-water skirt to contain the oil and to minimize oil loss under the boom; a longitudinal support, such as a chain or cable to strengthen the boom against wave or wind action. 38 Three types of skimmers are in common use: weir, oleophilic and suction. open sea, coastal, estuary) and a useful training guide has been published by the US Coast Guard.…”

Crude oil and petroleum products are widespread water and soil pollutants resulting from marine and terrestrial spillages. International statistics of oil spill sizes for all incidents indicate that the majority of oil spills are small (less than 7 tonnes). The major accidents that happen in the oil industry contribute only a small fraction of the total oil which enters the environment. However, the nature of accidental releases is that they highly pollute small areas and have the potential to devastate the biota locally. There are several routes by which oil can get back to humans from accidental spills, e.g. through accumulation in fish and shellfish, through consumption of contaminated groundwater. Although advances have been made in the prevention of accidents, this does not apply in all countries, and by the random nature of oil spill events, total prevention is not feasible. Therefore, considerable world-wide effort has gone into strategies for minimising accidental spills and the design of new remedial technologies. This paper summarizes new knowledge as well as research and technology gaps essential for developing appropriate decision-making tools in actual spill scenarios. Since oil exploration is being driven into deeper waters and more remote, fragile environments, the risk of future accidents becomes much higher. The innovative safety and accident prevention approaches summarized in this paper are currently important for a range of stakeholders, including the oil industry, the scientific community and the public. Ultimately an integrated approach to prevention and remediation that accelerates an early warning protocol in the event of a spill would get the most appropriate technology selected and implemented as early as possible - the first few hours after a spill are crucial to the outcome of the remedial effort. A particular focus is made on bioremediation as environmentally harmless, cost-effective and relatively inexpensive technology. Greater penetration into the remedial technologies market depends on the harmonization of environment legislation and the application of modern laboratory techniques, e.g. ecogenomics, to improve the predictability of bioremediation.

“…A small shear ratedependent plateau region was visible (Region 2) as was a decrease in viscosity at higher shear rates (Region 3). In Region 1, the slight increase in viscosity at low shear rates (< 0.03 s -1 ) likely resulted from weak network formation via droplet/cell flocculation/aggregation and weak associative interactions (Cormack, 1999). In Region 2 (0.03-0.05 s -1 ), the emulsions showed distinct plateau viscosity values: L.…”

“…These macromolecular surface-active agents can form normal micelles, reverse micelles, monolayers, star-like structures, and liquid crystals in aqueous and non-aqueous solutions [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Variation of the molecular characteristics (PPO or PEO composition ratio, molecular weight) of the polymer during the synthesis allows the production of molecules with optimum properties that meet the specific requirements of different industrial applications in detergency, dispersion stabilization, foaming, lubrication, demulsification, foods and food emulsions, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and agricultural applications of pesticides and herbicides.…”

Based on polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) oxides, six macromonomers were prepared through two steps. The first step was esterification of the PE and PP oxides, with oleic acid to give the corresponding monoesters. The second was the diesterfication of the prepared monoesters with methacrylic acid to give the corresponding diesters. The prepared macromonomers (diesters) were polymerized to obtain six polymers. The chemical structure of the prepared mono-and diesters and polymers was justified by IR, NMR, GPC and TGA. The obtained results confirmed that the prepared polymers have a high thermal stability and can be used in high pressure and temperature during the drainage of the water from water-in-oil emulsions. The surface active and thermodynamics parameters of these polymers in non-aqueous solution were also investigated and it was found that, these materials have high thermal stability which leads to the possibility to be used under severe reservoir conditions as surfactants.
