Biochemical oxygen demand and riverwater biodegradation tests of oil spill dispersants were determined at three sodium chloride concentrations--0, 20, and 40 g/D--and at ambient temperature. Surfactant conc~ntratton was monitored by infra red spectroscopy. Results obtained indicated that microbial d

Oil spill dispersants are used to enhance the rate of natural dispersion of an oil spill at sea. Dispersants remove the oil slick from the sea surface and dilute the oil as small droplets in the water column. The large increase in the oil-water interface due to oil droplet formation increases the bi
## Abstract The production of magnetic polymer composites for cleaning of oil spills on water is investigated. The polymer matrix consists of a biopolymer material (alkyd resin), which is cured with TDI in the presence of a magnetic powder (maghemite, __Ξ³__βFe~2~O~3~), which is incorporated into th
cationic quaternary polymer N-Hance BF 17 offers conditioning and viscosity-build properties, and is substantive to skin, hair and other anionic surfaces. Finally, DuPont has launched two new glycolic acid-based active ingredients for hair-treatment products. Glypure exhibits superior lubricating pr
