Being able to estimate the partitioning behavior of the live oil mixture between a gas and a hydrocarbon liquid phase is crucial for valid modeling of the behavior of the emitted fluid. Equations of state are a well-known way to estimate the phase partitio ...
Following the release of crude oil from the Macondo well in 2010, a wide range of weathering processes acted on the spilled oil. A recent study revealed that samples from this spill were oxidized into oxygenated hydrocarbons (OxHC) comprising more than 50% ...
Biodegradation plays a major role in the natural attenuation of oil spills. However, limited information is available about biodegradation of different saturated hydrocarbon classes in surface environments, despite that oils are composed mostly of saturate ...

Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC) is effective for separating and quantifying nonpolar organic chemicals in complex mixtures. Here we present a model to estimate 11 environmental partitioning properties for nonpolar analytes based ...

During the first hours after release of petroleum at sea, crude oil hydrocarbons partition rapidly into air and water. However limited information is available about very early evaporation and dissolution processes. We report on the composition of the oil ...
Several different formulas exist to predict the ascent speed of gas bubbles and oil droplets released in deep waters. Similarly, different formulas are also available to predict the mass transfer coefficient of compounds dissolving into water during ascent ...
Comprehensive, two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC x GC) chromatogram's typically exhibit run-to-run retention time variability. Chromatogram alignment is often a desirable step prior to further analysis of the data, for example, in studies of environme ...
