Petroleum, a type of fossil fuels, is made up of the words "petra" meaning stone in Latin and "oleum" meaning oil (Petra oleum = Petrol) and it is Petroleum is English. Due to the growing population in the world, dependence on oil continues despite…

Nowadays, petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants keep on being a genuine natural worry because of the managed development of petroleum oil extraction, related generation which ends up noticeably with ecological issue. The expanding in industrial…

The paper analyzes the existing methods and tools for removing oil or petroleum products from the water surface as a result of the oil and petroleum product pipeline rupture. The main groups of methods with indication of their main disadvantages are…

The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill from April to July of 2010 contaminated Gulf of Mexico waters through release of an estimated 4.1 106 barrels of oil. Beginning in June of 2010, semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) were deployed near areas…

During an emergency response to a major oil spill accident, the features of the motion of the oil films affect the response decisions. A highly dynamic optimal solution is needed to tackle the continuous changes in the demand for emergency resources…

We used a reactive transport model to investigate the cycling of geogenic arsenic (As) in a petroleum-contaminated aquifer. We simulated As mobilization and sequestration using surface complexation reactions with Fe(OH)3 during petroleum…

Dispersants used in oil spills could result toxic to marine organisms and could influence the toxicity of oil compounds. The aim of this work was to uncover the mechanisms of action of the water accommodated fraction (WAF) of a naphthenic North Sea…

Oil spills in the subarctic marine environment off the coast of Labrador, Canada, are increasingly likely due to potential oil production and increases in ship traffic in the region. To understand the microbiome response and how nutrient…

The high viscosity and low fluidity of heavy crude oil hinder its sorption by conventional porous sorbents, so the efficient clean-up of such heavy crude oil spills is challenging. Recently, Joule heating has been emerging as a new tool to reduce the…

Offshore terminal usually performs crude oil lifting process regularly every 7-8 days. However, three repetitive leaks in crude oil subsea pipeline 36" MOL SPM-1 to SPM-2 occurred in the offshore terminal area had stopped the natural oil lifting…

As one of the most abundant metals in heavy oils, Ni has suffered so notably increasing impacts from industrial and traffic activities that anthropogenic Ni emissions have altered natural geochemical processes. The coral Ni/Ca has become a reliable…

Efficient cleanup of viscous crude oil spill is a worldwide challenge due to its sluggish flowability at room temperature. Conventional oil remediation methods using physical absorbers, skimmers, and vacuum technologies either demonstrate low…

Bengkalis waters is relatively busy traffic area due to regional and international marine transportation which is very vulnerable to oil pollution. Cleaning of oil spill could be attempted by the use microorganisms (bioremediation). Bioremediation is…

The problem of oil spill pollution associated with the transport of crude oil and its products across the globe is of serious concern. The sorption technique has proved to be promising for oil spill treatment but is limited by the hydrophilic nature…

Accidental crude oil spills over a large water surface can wreck environmental and economic havoc. To mitigate such disasters, timely intervention to contain and recover oil before it spreads is critical. Standard lipophilic sorbents do not work…

In this paper, advanced oxidation process (AOP) combining ultrasound (US) and Fenton's process was proposed for the treatment of total petroleum hydrocarbons present in oil spill sludge. The effect of several parameters like pH, ultrasonic power,…

Photoproducts can be formed rapidly in the initial phase of a marine oil spill. However, their toxicity is not well understood. In this study, oil was irradiated, chemically characterized, and tested for toxicity in three copepod species (Acartia…
