Oil spill remediation : colloid chemistry-based principles and solutions /
In April of 2010, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico became the largest accidental release of oil into marine waters in history, resulting in severe environmental, health and economic consequences. Begins with a science-based overview of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Next,...
