Weathering of Mineral Oil in Marine Environment

  • Conference paper
Book cover Fate and Effects of Oil in Marine Ecosystems

The fate of a spill of crude oil or refined product in the marine environment is determined by spreading, evaporation, dispersion, emulsification, dissolution, sedimentation and various degradation processes (1). That is why analytical problems to identify the sources of hydrocarbon oil spills are serious(2).
