Abstract

A novel agent (specifically, a chemical herder designated as CH-1) has been developed to reduce crude oil spill areas and thicken oil films. CH-1 has exhibited adequate surface activity both in fresh water and seawater due to providing a spreading pressure above 40 mN/m. A series of field performance tests in water of the South China Sea have demonstrated that CH-1 increases the thickness of an oil slick from 0.15 to 3.20 mm. The study results indicate the high potential efficiency of CH-1 in oil film preparation both for mechanical oil skimming and in situ burning of oil spills under tropical conditions.
