Equation Chapter 1 Section 1Use of cork granules as an effective sustainable material to clean-up spills of crude oil and derivatives.
Abstract The use of cork granules for cleaning up crude oil or oil derivative spills and further oil recovery appears as a promising option due to their unique properties, which allow a high oil sorption capacity, low water pickup and excellent reuse. The present work reports the effect of oil viscosity on cork sorption capacity by using five types of oils (lubricating oil, 5.7 goil gcork-1; heavy oil, 4.2 goil gcork-1; light oil, 3.0 goil gcork-1; biodiesel, 2.6 goil gcork-1; and diesel, 2.0 goil gcork-1). The cork sorption capacity for light petroleum was also evaluated as a function of temperature and sorbent p...

Surviving the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
On April 20, 2009, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon, an offshore drilling rig owned by Transocean Ltd resulted in the deaths of twenty oil workers and created a fireball that could be seen more than forty miles away. What followed was the worst oil spill in U.S. history. How have those living in affected areas been able to cope?read more

Exposure to Deepwater Horizon oil and Corexit 9500 at low concentrations induces transcriptional changes and alters immune transcriptional pathways in sheepshead minnows
Publication date: Available online 26 May 2017 Source:Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part D: Genomics and Proteomics Author(s): Elizabeth R. Jones, Christopher J. Martyniuk, Jeffrey M. Morris, Michelle O. Krasnec, Robert J. Griffitt The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill caused the release of 4.9 million barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico, followed by the application of 2.9 million L of the dispersant, Corexit™ to mitigate the spread of oil. The spill resulted in substantial shoreline oiling, potentially exposing coastal organisms to polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and dispersant contaminants. To i...

Use of ground granulated blast furnace slag blended with bentonite and cement mixtures as a liner in a landfill to retain diesel oil contaminants
Publication date: Available online 12 August 2019Source: Journal of Environmental Chemical EngineeringAuthor(s): Manikanta Devarangadi, M Uma ShankarAbstractThis paper presents the use of GGBS (ground granulated blast furnace slag) an industrial byproduct, blended with bentonite and Portland cement (PC) as a liner in a landfill to prevent groundwater contamination. Experimental investigations were conducted to study the effect of GGBS blended with bentonite and PC mixtures such as liquid limit (LL), free swell index (FSI), compaction, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and hydraulic conductivity tests (k). Deionized wat...

Microvascular Dysfunction with Increased Vascular Leakage Response in Mice Systemically Exposed to Arsenic.
The objectives of this study were to investigate whether arsenic-fed mice have an increased vascular leakage response to vasoactive agents and whether enhanced type-2 protein phosphatase (PP2A) activity is involved in mustard oil-induced leakage. ICR mice were fed water or sodium arsenite (20 mg/kg) for 4 or 8 weeks. The leakage response to vasoactive agents was quantified using the Evans blue (EB) technique or vascular labeling with carbon particles. Increased EB leakage and high density of carbon-labeled microvessels were detected in arsenic-fed mice treated with mustard oil. Histamine induced significantly higher vasc...

Sucking up spilt oil
(Wiley) Spilt crude oil has repeatedly polluted and even destroyed marine ecosystems. An effective measure would be to remove spilt oil slicks by absorption into a separable solid phase. As Indian scientists now report in the journal Angewandte Chemie, congelation of the oil to a rigid gel within impregnated cellulose and scooping the particles out is possible.

The possible range of changes of the local optical properties of seawater caused by the occurrence of dispersed oil, as well as the dependencies of changes on various physical and environmental factors, can be estimated using simulation techniques. Two models were combined to examine the influence of oceanic...

The Ouchi-Spillmann illusion revisited.
Abstract In a disk-ring pattern composed of horizontally oriented checks in the centre and vertically oriented checks in the surround, the centre appears to slide relative to the surround when the pattern is slowly moved about. This phenomenon has been called the Ouchi illusion. Slow sliding movements may represent involuntary ocular drifts, while occasional jerks suggest a contribution by microsaccades. The conditions under which the illusion occurs both with free viewing and in the absence of involuntary eye movements are reviewed. Illusory sliding is most pronounced with diagonal movement of the stimulus patter...
