[[File:Dispersant Mechanism.jpg|thumb|Oil dispersant mechanism of action|alt=Color illustration of how oil dispersants work]]
'''Oil dispersant''' are a mixture of [[surfactants]] and solvents that break up an [[oil spill]] into droplets. By breaking it up, microbes and the environment can more easily [[biodegrade]] the oil. A mixture of oil and water is normally unstable, but can be stabilized with the addition of surfactants. Surfactants improve interaction at the oil-water junction, decreasing surface energy. Dispersants have had negative environmental effects due to their toxicity; however, reformulated dispersants have been accepted by the [[United States Environmental Protection Agency]] (EPA).<ref>{{cite web|title=Dispersants|url=http://www.epa.gov/bpspill/dispersants.html}}</ref>
 
==History==
In 1967, the supertanker ''[[Torrey Canyon oil spill|Torrey Canyon]]'' leaked oil onto the English coastline.<ref name=Clayton />  [[Alkylphenol]] surfactants were primarily used to break up the oil, but proved very toxic in the marine environment; all types of marine life were killed. This led to a reformulation of dispersants to be more environmentally sensitive. After the Torrey Canyon spill, new boat-spraying systems were developed.<ref name=Clayton /> Later reformulations allowed more dispersant to be contained (at a higher concentration) to be aerosolized.
 
==Theory==
 
===Requirements===
There are five requirements for surfactants to successfully disperse oil:<ref name=Clayton/>
*Dispersant must be on the oil's surface in the proper concentration
*Dispersant must penetrate (mix with) the oil
* Surfactant molecules must orient at the oil-water interface (hydrophobic in oil and [[Hydrophile|hydrophilic]] in water)
* Oil-water interfacial surface tension must be lowered (so the oil can be broken up).
* Energy must be applied to the mix (for example, by waves)
 
The [[hydrophilic-lipophilic balance]] (HLB) is a coding scale from 0 to 20 for non-[[ion]]ic surfactants, and takes into account the chemical structure of the surfactant molecule. A zero value corresponds to the most [[Lipophilicity|lipophilic]] and a value of 20 is the most hydrophilic for a non-ionic surfactant.<ref name=Clayton>{{cite book|last=Clayton|first=John R.|title=Oil Spill Dispersants: Mechanisms of Action and Laboratory Tests|year=1992|publisher= C K Smoley & Sons|isbn=0-87371-946-8|pages=9–23}}</ref>[[File:Oil with Surfactant.jpg|thumb|left|Oil reacting with surfactant in water|alt=Illustration of oil reacting with surfactant in water]]
 
==={{anchor|Dispersion Models}}Dispersion models===
Developing well-constructed models (accounting for variables such as oil type, salinity and surfactant) are necessary to select the appropriate dispersant in a given situation. Two models exist which integrate the use of dispersants: Mackay's model and Johansen's model.<ref name="Using Oil Dispersants">National Research Council Committee on Effectiveness of Oil Spill Dispersants: Using Oil Dispersants on the Sea, National Academy Press, 1989 pp 63-75</ref> There are several parameters which must be considered when creating a dispersion model, including oil-slick thickness, [[advection]], resurfacing and wave action.<ref name="Using Oil Dispersants"/> A general problem in modeling dispersants is that they change several of these parameters; surfactants lower the thickness of the film, increase the amount of diffusion into the water column and increase the amount of breakup caused by wave action. This causes the oil slick's behavior to be more dominated by vertical diffusion than horizontal advection.<ref name="Using Oil Dispersants"/>
 
One equation for the modeling of oil spills is:<ref name= "Tkalich">Tkalich,P Xiaobo,C Accurate Simulation of Oil Slicks, Tropical marine science institute, Presented 2001 International Oil Spill Conference pp 1133-1135 http://www.iosc.org/papers_posters/00015.pdf</ref>
 
<math>(\frac {\partial h}{\partial t})\bigtriangledown (h(\vec {U} + (\frac {\vec {t}}{f}) - \bigtriangledown(E\bigtriangledown h) = R </math>
 
where
 
* ''h'' is the oil-slick thickness
* <math>\vec {U}</math> is the velocity of ocean currents in the mixing layer of the water column (where oil and water mix together)
* <math>\vec {t}</math> is the wind-driven shear stress
* ''f'' is the oil-water friction coefficient
* ''E'' is the relative difference in densities between the oil and water
* ''R'' is the rate of spill propagation
 
Mackay's model predicts an increasing dispersion rate, as the slick becomes thinner in one dimension. The model predicts that thin slicks will disperse faster than thick slicks for several reasons. Thin slicks are less effective at dampening waves and other sources of turbidity. Additionally, droplets formed upon dispersion are expected to be smaller in a thin slick and thus easier to disperse in water.
The model also includes:<ref name="Using Oil Dispersants"/>
 
* An expression for the diameter of the oil drop
* Temperature dependence of oil movement
* An expression for the resurfacing of oil
* Calibrations based on data from experimental spills
 
The model is lacking in several areas: it does not account for evaporation, the topography of the ocean floor or the geography of the spill zone.<ref name="Using Oil Dispersants">National Research Council Committee on Effectiveness of Oil Spill DIspersants: Using Oil Dispersants on the Sea, National Academy Press, 1989 pp 63-75</ref>
 
Johansen's model is more complex than Mackay's model. It considers particles to be in one of three states: at the surface, [[Entrainment (hydrodynamics)|entrained]] in the water column or evaporated. The empirically based model uses probabilistic variables to determine where the dispersant will move and where it will go after it breaks up oil slicks. The drift of each particle is determined by the state of that particle; this means that a particle in the vapor state will travel much further than a particle on the surface (or under the surface) of the ocean.<ref name="Using Oil Dispersants"/> This model improves on Mackay's model in several key areas, including terms for:<ref name="Using Oil Dispersants"/>
 
* Probability of [[entrainment (hydrodynamics)|entrainment]] – depends on wind
* Probability of resurfacing – depends on density, droplet size, time submerged and wind
* Probability of evaporation – matched with empirical data
 
Oil dispersants are modeled by Johansen using a different set of entrainment and resurfacing parameters for treated versus untreated oil. This allows areas of the oil slick to be modeled differently, to better understand how oil spreads along the water's surface.
 
== Thermodynamics ==
 
=== {{anchor|Non-Ionic Surfactants}}Non-ionic surfactants ===
To determine the [[Gibbs free energy]] of [[Micelle|micellization]], the change in chemical potential for the surfactant going from a single [[Solvation|solvated]] [[molecule]] to a micelle is measured. There are many approaches to this, one of which is the ''phase-separation model''. This model takes advantage of the fact that micellization resembles two phases separated by a [[monolayer]]. However, the model does not take into account changes in energy associated with the interactions of charges and is suitable only for describing non-ionic surfactants.<ref name="Butt">Butt, Hans-Jürgen.  Graf, Karlheinz. Kappl, Michael.  "Physics and Chemistry of Interfaces".  2nd Edition.  WILEY-VCH. pp 265-299. 2006.</ref> In the phase-separation model, there are two distinct phases: alpha(α) and beta(β). The [[surface tension]] between the two phases is described by the [[Laplace Equation]], which relates the change in pressure across two phases to the curvature and surface tension.
 
<math> \Delta P= \gamma (C_1 +C_2)</math>
 
where:
 
<math> \Delta P</math> is the change in pressure across the interface
 
<math>\gamma</math> is the surface tension
 
<math>C_1 </math>and <math>C_2</math> are the curvatures of the selected interface
 
The chemical potential, μ, at low concentrations can be described by the equation:<ref name=Butt />
 
<math>\mu _{sur} (micelle) = \mu ^0 _{sur} + RTln[S]</math>
 
When ''[S]'' (the concentration of surfactant) reaches the [[critical micelle concentration]], the chemical potential of the surfactant in the micelle is equal to the chemical potential of the surfactant when it is solvated.<ref name=Butt />
Thus, the Gibbs free energy of micelle formation is described by the equation:
 
<math>\Delta G^{mic} _m = \mu_{micelle} - \mu^{0} _{sur} = RTlnCMC</math>
 
The main factor driving the formation of micelles, the movement of [[aliphatic compound]]s out of water and into an environment where they can interact with other non-polar groups, is driven by [[Introduction to entropy|entropy]]. Although there is [[Order and disorder (physics)|ordering]] occurring by means of a phase separation, the entropy gained by the water molecules interacting with other water molecules is far greater in magnitude.<ref name=Butt />
 
=== {{anchor|Ionic Surfactants}}Ionic surfactants ===
[[File:C-130 support oil spill cleanup.jpg|thumb|U.S. Air Force C-130 plane releases dispersants over the [[''Deepwater Horizon'' oil spill]].|alt=Plane spraying dispersants over an oil spill]]
Describing the formation of micelles mathematically for ionic surfactants is far more difficult because of the repulsion that occurs between the head groups as the micelle is formed.<ref name=Butt /> The surfactant molecules must also be dehydrated prior to micelle formation (which decreases the shielding of each head group, thus increasing the repulsion between two molecules). For this reason, the [[critical micelle concentration]] (CMC) of ionic surfactants tends to be higher than that of their non-ionic counterparts.<ref name=Butt /> When addressing ionic surfactants, one must consider the [[double layer (interfacial)|electric double layer]] that forms at the surface of the micelle.
<ref name="Rusanov">Rusanov, A I.  Thermodynamics of Ionic Micelles.  Russian Chemical Reviews Vol 58(2) pp101-113 (1989)</ref> This double layer has the effect of stabilizing the micelle by shielding the like charges from each head group. Adding salt to ionic surfactants has the effect of drastically reducing the CMC. The salt increases the concentration of ions available to screen the charge of the ionic head groups, and will thus make it easier for [[particle aggregation]] to occur. Another method to reduce the CMC of an ionic micelle is to increase the length of the [[Alkane|alkyl]] chain, increasing the amount of [[Dispersion (chemistry)|dispersion interactions]] and thus making micelle formation more energetically favorable.<ref name=Butt />
 
Ionic micelles are very difficult to describe mathematically due to the repulsion occurring between all head groups, the number of variables and the fact that the electric potential felt by each head group is dependent on the other groups.
 
=={{anchor|Types of Surfactants}}Surfactant types==
There are four main types of surfactants, each with different properties and applications: [[anion]]ic, cationic, nonionic and [[zwitterion]]ic (or amphoteric). Anionic surfactants are compounds that contain an anionic polar group. Examples of anionic surfactants include [[sodium dodecyl sulfate]] and [[dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate]].<ref name="Butler et. al." /> Included in this class of surfactants are sodium alkylcarboxylates (soaps).<ref name=Butt /> Cationic surfactats are similar in nature to anionic surfactants, except the surfactant molecules carry a positive charge at the hydrophilic portion. Many of these compounds are [[Quaternary ammonium cation|quaternary ammonium salts]], as well as [[cetrimonium bromide]] (CTAB).<ref name=Butt /> Non-ionic surfactants are non-charged and together with anionic surfactants make up the majority of oil-dispersant formulations.<ref name="Butler et. al." /> The hydrophilic portion of the surfactant contains polar [[functional groups]], such as -OH or -NH.<ref name=Butt /> Zwitterionic surfactants are the most expensive, and are used for specific applications.<ref name=Butt /> These compounds have both positively and negatively charged components. An example of a zwitterionic compound is [[phosphatidylcholine]], which as a lipid is largely insoluble in water.<ref name=Butt />
 
=={{anchor|HLB Values}}HLB values==
Surfactant behavior is highly dependent on the [[hydrophilic-lipophilic balance]] (HLB) value. In general, compounds with an HLB between one and four will not mix with water. Compounds with an HLB value above 13 will form a clear solution in water.<ref name="Butler et. al.">Using Oil Spill Dispersants.  National Academy Press.  pp 29-32 1989</ref> Oil dispersants usually have HLB values from 8–18.<ref name="Butler et. al." />

Two formulations of different dispersing agents for oil spills, DISPERSIT and Omni-Clean, are shown below. A key difference between the two is that Omni-Clean uses ionic surfactants and DISPERSIT uses entirely non-ionic surfactants. Omni-Clean was formulated for little or no toxicity toward the environment. DISPERSIT, however, was designed as a competitor with COREXIT. DISPERSIT contains non-ionic surfactants, which permit both primarily oil-soluble and primarily water-soluble surfactants. The partitioning of surfactants between the phases allows for effective dispersion.

=={{anchor|Degradation and Toxicity}}Degradation and toxicity==
Both the degradation and the toxicity of dispersants depend on the chemicals chosen within the formulation. Compounds which interact too harshly with oil dispersants should be tested to ensure that they meet three criteria:<ref name=Mulkins>{{cite journal|last=Mulkins-Phillips|first=G. J.|coauthors=Stewart, J.E.|title=Effect of Four Dispersants on Biodegradation and Growth of Bacteria on Crude Oil|journal=Applied Microbiology|date=October 1974|volume=28|pages=547–552}}</ref>
 
* They should be biodegradable.
* In the presence of oil, they must not be preferentially utilized as a carbon source.
* They must be nontoxic to indigenous bacteria.
 
==Applications==
 
==={{anchor|Oil Treatment}}Oil treatment===
The effectiveness of the dispersant depends on the weathering of the oil, sea energy (waves), salinity of the water, temperature and the type of oil.<ref name=Fingas>{{cite book|last=Fingas|first=Merv|title=The Basics of Oil Spill Cleanup|year=2001|publisher=Lewis Publishers|isbn=1-56670-537-1|pages=120–125}}</ref> Dispersion is unlikely to occur if the oil spreads into a thin layer, because the dispersant requires a particular thickness to work; otherwise, the dispersant will interact with both the water and the oil. More dispersant may be required if the sea energy is low. The salinity of the water is more important for ionic-surfactant dispersants, since they will preferentially interact with the water more than the oil.  
The [[viscosity]] of the oil is another important factor; viscosity can retard dispersant migration to the oil-water interface and also increase the energy required to shear a drop from the slick. Viscosities below 2,000 centi[[poise]] are optimal for dispersants. If the viscosity is above 10,000 centipoise, no dispersion is possible.<ref name=NRC>{{cite book|last=National Research Council (U.S.)|title=Using Oil Spill Dispersants on the Sea|year=1989|publisher=National Academy Press|location=Washington, D.C.|pages=54}}</ref>
 
=={{anchor|Methods of Use}}Methods of use==
Dispersants are delivered in concentrated, dilute solutions and are aerosolized by aerial spraying (typically by an aircraft or boat). Sufficient dispersant with droplets in the proper size are necessary; this can be achieved with an appropriate pumping rate. Droplets larger than 1,000&nbsp;µm are preferred, to ensure they are not blown away by the wind. The ratio of dispersant to oil is typically 1:20.<ref name=Fingas />

During the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, an estimated 1.84 million gallons of oil dispersants were used in an attempt to reduce the amount of surface oil and mitigate the damage to wildlife.

Dispersants were also used during the Exxon Valdez oil spill, although their use was far less effective.

The dispersants introduced were relatively ineffective (due to insufficient wave action to mix the oil and water), and their use was shortly abandoned.<ref name="epa">EPA: Learning Center: Exxon Valdez. http://www.epa.gov/oem/content/learning/exxon.htm accessed 5/23/2012</ref>

Oil dispersant mechanism of action

Oil dispersant are a mixture of surfactants and solvents that break up an oil spill into droplets. By breaking it up, microbes and the environment can more easily biodegrade the oil. A mixture of oil and water is normally unstable, but can be stabilized with the addition of surfactants. Surfactants improve interaction at the oil-water junction, decreasing surface energy. Dispersants have had negative environmental effects due to their toxicity; however, reformulated dispersants have been accepted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).[1]

History

In 1967, the supertanker Torrey Canyon leaked oil onto the English coastline.[2] Alkylphenol surfactants were primarily used to break up the oil, but proved very toxic in the marine environment; all types of marine life were killed. This led to a reformulation of dispersants to be more environmentally sensitive. After the Torrey Canyon spill, new boat-spraying systems were developed.[2] Later reformulations allowed more dispersant to be contained (at a higher concentration) to be aerosolized.

Theory

Requirements

There are five requirements for surfactants to successfully disperse oil:[2]

  • Dispersant must be on the oil's surface in the proper concentration
  • Dispersant must penetrate (mix with) the oil
  • Surfactant molecules must orient at the oil-water interface (hydrophobic in oil and hydrophilic in water)
  • Oil-water interfacial surface tension must be lowered (so the oil can be broken up).
  • Energy must be applied to the mix (for example, by waves)

The hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) is a coding scale from 0 to 20 for non-ionic surfactants, and takes into account the chemical structure of the surfactant molecule. A zero value corresponds to the most lipophilic and a value of 20 is the most hydrophilic for a non-ionic surfactant.[2]

<Dispersion Models>...</Dispersion Models>Dispersion models

Developing well-constructed models (accounting for variables such as oil type, salinity and surfactant) are necessary to select the appropriate dispersant in a given situation. Two models exist which integrate the use of dispersants: Mackay's model and Johansen's model.[3] There are several parameters which must be considered when creating a dispersion model, including oil-slick thickness, advection, resurfacing and wave action.[3] A general problem in modeling dispersants is that they change several of these parameters; surfactants lower the thickness of the film, increase the amount of diffusion into the water column and increase the amount of breakup caused by wave action. This causes the oil slick's behavior to be more dominated by vertical diffusion than horizontal advection.[3]

One equation for the modeling of oil spills is:[4]

(ht)(h(U+(tf)(Eh)=R

where

  • h is the oil-slick thickness
  • U is the velocity of ocean currents in the mixing layer of the water column (where oil and water mix together)
  • t is the wind-driven shear stress
  • f is the oil-water friction coefficient
  • E is the relative difference in densities between the oil and water
  • R is the rate of spill propagation

Mackay's model predicts an increasing dispersion rate, as the slick becomes thinner in one dimension. The model predicts that thin slicks will disperse faster than thick slicks for several reasons. Thin slicks are less effective at dampening waves and other sources of turbidity. Additionally, droplets formed upon dispersion are expected to be smaller in a thin slick and thus easier to disperse in water. The model also includes:[3]

  • An expression for the diameter of the oil drop
  • Temperature dependence of oil movement
  • An expression for the resurfacing of oil
  • Calibrations based on data from experimental spills

The model is lacking in several areas: it does not account for evaporation, the topography of the ocean floor or the geography of the spill zone.[3]

Johansen's model is more complex than Mackay's model. It considers particles to be in one of three states: at the surface, entrained in the water column or evaporated. The empirically based model uses probabilistic variables to determine where the dispersant will move and where it will go after it breaks up oil slicks. The drift of each particle is determined by the state of that particle; this means that a particle in the vapor state will travel much further than a particle on the surface (or under the surface) of the ocean.[3] This model improves on Mackay's model in several key areas, including terms for:[3]

  • Probability of entrainment – depends on wind
  • Probability of resurfacing – depends on density, droplet size, time submerged and wind
  • Probability of evaporation – matched with empirical data

Oil dispersants are modeled by Johansen using a different set of entrainment and resurfacing parameters for treated versus untreated oil. This allows areas of the oil slick to be modeled differently, to better understand how oil spreads along the water's surface.

Thermodynamics

<Non-Ionic Surfactants>...</Non-Ionic Surfactants>Non-ionic surfactants

To determine the Gibbs free energy of micellization, the change in chemical potential for the surfactant going from a single solvated molecule to a micelle is measured. There are many approaches to this, one of which is the phase-separation model. This model takes advantage of the fact that micellization resembles two phases separated by a monolayer. However, the model does not take into account changes in energy associated with the interactions of charges and is suitable only for describing non-ionic surfactants.[5] In the phase-separation model, there are two distinct phases: alpha(α) and beta(β). The surface tension between the two phases is described by the Laplace Equation, which relates the change in pressure across two phases to the curvature and surface tension.

ΔP=γ(C1+C2)

where:

ΔP is the change in pressure across the interface

γ is the surface tension

C1and C2 are the curvatures of the selected interface

The chemical potential, μ, at low concentrations can be described by the equation:[5]

μsur(micelle)=μsur0+RTln[S]

When [S] (the concentration of surfactant) reaches the critical micelle concentration, the chemical potential of the surfactant in the micelle is equal to the chemical potential of the surfactant when it is solvated.[5] Thus, the Gibbs free energy of micelle formation is described by the equation:

ΔGmmic=μmicelleμsur0=RTlnCMC

The main factor driving the formation of micelles, the movement of aliphatic compounds out of water and into an environment where they can interact with other non-polar groups, is driven by entropy. Although there is ordering occurring by means of a phase separation, the entropy gained by the water molecules interacting with other water molecules is far greater in magnitude.[5]

Describing the formation of micelles mathematically for ionic surfactants is far more difficult because of the repulsion that occurs between the head groups as the micelle is formed.[5] The surfactant molecules must also be dehydrated prior to micelle formation (which decreases the shielding of each head group, thus increasing the repulsion between two molecules). For this reason, the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of ionic surfactants tends to be higher than that of their non-ionic counterparts.[5] When addressing ionic surfactants, one must consider the electric double layer that forms at the surface of the micelle. [6] This double layer has the effect of stabilizing the micelle by shielding the like charges from each head group. Adding salt to ionic surfactants has the effect of drastically reducing the CMC. The salt increases the concentration of ions available to screen the charge of the ionic head groups, and will thus make it easier for particle aggregation to occur. Another method to reduce the CMC of an ionic micelle is to increase the length of the alkyl chain, increasing the amount of dispersion interactions and thus making micelle formation more energetically favorable.[5]

Ionic micelles are very difficult to describe mathematically due to the repulsion occurring between all head groups, the number of variables and the fact that the electric potential felt by each head group is dependent on the other groups.

<Types of Surfactants>...</Types of Surfactants>Surfactant types

There are four main types of surfactants, each with different properties and applications: anionic, cationic, nonionic and zwitterionic (or amphoteric). Anionic surfactants are compounds that contain an anionic polar group. Examples of anionic surfactants include sodium dodecyl sulfate and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate.[7] Included in this class of surfactants are sodium alkylcarboxylates (soaps).[5] Cationic surfactats are similar in nature to anionic surfactants, except the surfactant molecules carry a positive charge at the hydrophilic portion. Many of these compounds are quaternary ammonium salts, as well as cetrimonium bromide (CTAB).[5] Non-ionic surfactants are non-charged and together with anionic surfactants make up the majority of oil-dispersant formulations.[7] The hydrophilic portion of the surfactant contains polar functional groups, such as -OH or -NH.[5] Zwitterionic surfactants are the most expensive, and are used for specific applications.[5] These compounds have both positively and negatively charged components. An example of a zwitterionic compound is phosphatidylcholine, which as a lipid is largely insoluble in water.[5]

<HLB Values>...</HLB Values>HLB values

Surfactant behavior is highly dependent on the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value. In general, compounds with an HLB between one and four will not mix with water. Compounds with an HLB value above 13 will form a clear solution in water.[7] Oil dispersants usually have HLB values from 8–18.[7] <Table of HLB Values for Various Surfactants>...</Table of HLB Values for Various Surfactants>

Two formulations of different dispersing agents for oil spills, DISPERSIT and Omni-Clean, are shown below. A key difference between the two is that Omni-Clean uses ionic surfactants and DISPERSIT uses entirely non-ionic surfactants. Omni-Clean was formulated for little or no toxicity toward the environment. DISPERSIT, however, was designed as a competitor with COREXIT. DISPERSIT contains non-ionic surfactants, which permit both primarily oil-soluble and primarily water-soluble surfactants. The partitioning of surfactants between the phases allows for effective dispersion.

<Degradation and Toxicity>...</Degradation and Toxicity>Degradation and toxicity

Both the degradation and the toxicity of dispersants depend on the chemicals chosen within the formulation. Compounds which interact too harshly with oil dispersants should be tested to ensure that they meet three criteria:[14]

  • They should be biodegradable.
  • In the presence of oil, they must not be preferentially utilized as a carbon source.
  • They must be nontoxic to indigenous bacteria.

Applications

<Oil Treatment>...</Oil Treatment>Oil treatment

The effectiveness of the dispersant depends on the weathering of the oil, sea energy (waves), salinity of the water, temperature and the type of oil.[15] Dispersion is unlikely to occur if the oil spreads into a thin layer, because the dispersant requires a particular thickness to work; otherwise, the dispersant will interact with both the water and the oil. More dispersant may be required if the sea energy is low. The salinity of the water is more important for ionic-surfactant dispersants, since they will preferentially interact with the water more than the oil. The viscosity of the oil is another important factor; viscosity can retard dispersant migration to the oil-water interface and also increase the energy required to shear a drop from the slick. Viscosities below 2,000 centipoise are optimal for dispersants. If the viscosity is above 10,000 centipoise, no dispersion is possible.[16]

<Methods of Use>...</Methods of Use>Methods of use

Dispersants are delivered in concentrated, dilute solutions and are aerosolized by aerial spraying (typically by an aircraft or boat). Sufficient dispersant with droplets in the proper size are necessary; this can be achieved with an appropriate pumping rate. Droplets larger than 1,000 µm are preferred, to ensure they are not blown away by the wind. The ratio of dispersant to oil is typically 1:20.[15]

During the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, an estimated 1.84 million gallons of oil dispersants were used in an attempt to reduce the amount of surface oil and mitigate the damage to wildlife. Nearly half (771,000 gallons) of the dispersants were applied directly at the wellhead.[17] The primary dispersant used was Corexit, which was controversial due to its toxicity relative to other dispersants. Two years after the spill, studies showed Corexit increased the toxicity of the oil by 52 times.[18]

Alaska had fewer than 4,000 gallons of dispersants available at the time of the incident, and no aircraft with which to dispense them. The dispersants introduced were relatively ineffective (due to insufficient wave action to mix the oil and water), and their use was shortly abandoned.[19]
