The effect of various parameters on the absorption of phenols by PUfoam was examined. Maximum absorption can be achieved at a flow rate of I ml/min in the range pH 3–9, which is marginally increased as the temperature of the effluent variesfrom 30 to 60°C. As phenol concentration is increased, though the total quantity of phenol absorbed increases, the percentage absorption decreases. It is also observed that at low concentrations of some phenols, satisfactory extraction can be achieved even with increasing volumes of aqueous phase. Based on the extraction data, an extraction mechanism was proposed. Model schemes for the removal and recovery of phenols from industrial effluents (10–100 kl), both by dynamic and static methods, are proposed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100982,"journal":{"name":"Oil and Chemical Pollution","volume":"7 4","pages":"Pages 349-365"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0269-8579(05)80049-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76658814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To counteract this, a system has been developed which allows vertical movement of a small proportion of the water entering the tank through the experimental sediments and substrate. An experiment lasting 130 days, with this system showed less evidence of anaerobiosis and confirmed results from previous experiments that there are differences in effect between diesel-based mud and alternative-based muds. A new type of alternative mud formulation, using an oil-in-water emulsion with a much lower base-oil content, was also tested and found to be intermediate in behaviour and effect between the control and conventional muds. To distinguish between toxic effects and those of organic enrichment, the control tank was treated with an artificial drill-mud formulated on medicinal, liquid paraffin. This developed a faunal assemblage different from that in other experimental tanks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100982,"journal":{"name":"Oil and Chemical Pollution","volume":"5 5","pages":"Pages 365-378"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0269-8579(89)80026-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73067233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The coastal zone oil spill (COZOIL) model described here is designed to simulate oil spill fates both before and after a coastal contact. Multiple discrete batches of oil (spillets) are used to represent the surface slick. Spillets are circular while offshore but become elliptical upon contact with the shoreline. Onshore-offshore foreshortening is governed by a balance between wind stress and gravity spreading forces, and results in alongshore spreading of the spillet. Evaporated hydrocarbons are accumulated from all sources during the simulation, with no spatial representation. Entrained oil offshore is represented by discrete particles which maybe advected by the local currents. Inside the surf zone, entrained oil takes on a continuous representation, discretized within individual alongshore grid cells. Transport in the surf zone is governed by a classical radiation stress formulation. Incorporation of water into surface oil (emulsification) is simulated offshore. De-emulsification (de-watering) is allowed to occur for oil which is on the foreshore or backshore. Oil coming ashore may be deposited on the foreshore or the backshore, or carried into coastal indentations (lagoons, ponds, or fjords). Each of the seven shoreline types represented in COZOIL is characterized by a unique set of parameters, including grain size, porosity, and a maximum oil thickness which the foreshore can retain. Oil on the foreshore penetrates into the underlying sediments at a rate dependent on sediment grain size and oil viscosity. Oil may also be carried into the beach groundwater system by wave overwash. Reflotation of surface oil occurs during rising tides. The model is inherently deterministic with respect to results of any single simulation. Stochastic oil distribution estimates are produced by combining the results of multiple simulations, each of which may be driven by a separate weather scenario.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100982,"journal":{"name":"Oil and Chemical Pollution","volume":"5 6","pages":"Pages 411-449"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0269-8579(89)80019-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78294684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
