Research on Development and Effectiveness Evaluation Technology of New Environment-friendly Oil Spill Dispersant

Reasonably using oil spill dispersant has become one of the important emergency means intended to handle offshore oil spill accidents. With the worldwide nonstop occurrence of offshore oil spill accidents, the effect and toxicity influence of oil spill dispersant have seized popular attention. In particular, oil spill dispersant used in deepwater oil spill accidents urgently needs undergo evaluation of its underwater jetting effect. In this paper, the authors summarized the present condition and existing problems of researches on formula development, sea-surface and underwater application effect evaluation of oil spill dispersant. In addition, the authors gave a description about the progress made in the researches on new environment-friendly oil spill dispersant carried out by their laboratory and in the effect evaluation technology of sea-surface and underwater application of oil spill dispersant.
