Oil Spill Dispersants: Mechanisms of Action and Laboratory Tests
provides a comprehensive summary of current information available
regarding the general formulation of commercial dispersants and
their function to lower oil-water interfacial tension. The book
considers how chemical dispersants work for oil spills, the
properties and chemistry of oils (including weathering state), the
variables that affect dispersant performance, and the relationships
between laboratory methods and field situations. The book also
considers the strengths and limitations of specific laboratory
tests, including brief discussions of the applicability of results
for estimating dispersant performance in field trials or conditions
encountered during real spill events. Laboratory tests are
separated into four groups: tank tests, shake/flask tests,
interfacial surface tension tests, and flume tests. Rapid-screen
field tests are considered as a separate group. Recommendations for
improvements in future laboratory testing are offered as well. Oil
Spill Dispersants will be useful for regulators evaluating
dispersant agents, field personnel involved with using dispersants,
laboratory scientists studying performance and behavior of oil and
dispersants, and managers responsible for designing studies related
to the treatment of oil slicks with dispersants.
