Oil Spill Environmental Forensics
Author: Zhendi Wang
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080467733
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 617
Book Description
Oil Spill Environmental Forensics provides a complete view of the various forensic techniques used to identify the source of an oil spill into the environment. The forensic procedures described within represent various methods from scientists throughout the world. The authors explore which analytical and interpretative techniques are best suited for a particular oil spill project. This handy reference also explores the use of these techniques in actual environmental oil spills. Famous incidents discussed include the Exxon Valdez incident in 1989 and the Guanabara Bay, Brazil 2000. The authors chronicle both the successes and failures of the techniques used for each of these events. Dr. Zhendi Wang is a senior research scientist and Head of Oil Spill Research of Environment Canada, working in the oil and toxic chemical spill research field. He has authored over 270 academic publications and won a number of national and international scientific honors and awards. Dr. Wang is a member of American Chemical Society (ACS), the Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC), and the International Society of Environmental Forensics (ISEF). - International experts show readers the forensic techniques used in oil spill investigations - Provides the theoretical basis and practical applications for investigative techniques - Contains numerous case studies demonstrating proven technique

Weathering of Oil at Sea
Author: John W. Frankenfeld
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
A study was conducted to trace the fate of petroleum products discharged in the marine environment and to determine the magnitude of the more important weathering variables on the physical and chemical changes which occur. Six carefully selected oils, four crudes, a heavy and a light fuel oil, were weathered under controlled, laboratory conditions in specially designed simulators and under 'real marine' conditions. The progress of weathering was monitored by measuring such physical changes as average boiling points (evaporation rates) and the increase in specific gravity. The effects of weathering parameters on chemical changes in both the floating oil slick and in the aqueous phase below the slick were also measured. The environmental variables investigated included air and water temperature, water wash rate, effects of salinity, effects of air movement and UV light as well as weathering time (up to four months).

Prototype, Mesoscale Simulator for the Study of Oil Weathering Under Severe Conditions
Author: Emilien Pelletier
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Corexit (Trademark)
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
As long-term, open-sea tests on oil weathering could be difficult and experiments in ice in the field even impossible to manage, chose to develop low-cost simulation tank with which to study long-term fate & behaviour of crude oil under severe weather conditions & also in presence of ice cover. Prototype was protected outdoor tank with surface of sea-water exposed to natural weather conditions but water column protected from extreme temperature variations. Design included conical bottom, sediment trap, deck & small instrument room. Report gives full description of prototype, mesoscale simulator & describes results of 3 experiments using chemically dispersed (Corexit 9527) crude oil.
