Oil spill dispersants can prevent severe environmental threat, requiring immediate and effective response strategies to minimize their impact. Among the various methods employed for oil spill response, the use of dispersants stands out due to its ability to break down oil into smaller droplets, enhancing natural degradation processes. This comprehensive guide delves into the different types of oil spill dispersants, their mechanisms of action, advantages, disadvantages, and considerations for use. Introduction to Oil Spill Dispersants Oil spill dispersants are chemical agents specifically formulated to promote the dispersion of oil into the water column, facilitating its biodegradation by natural processes. They work by breaking down the oil slick into smaller droplets, […]
