Petroleum-Collecting And Dispersing Chemicals For Cleaning Sea Surface From Thin Petroleum Slicks
Monoethylolamide, diethylolamide and triethanolamine ester synthesized by us
based on fish oil and their phosphate derivatives being surface-active and ecologically safe possess
a high capacity of petroleum collecting and dispersing. When introducing phosphate group, a
tendency to replacement of petroleum slick dispersing by its collection (accumulation into a spot)
is observed. Efficiency of the chemicals change depends on the type and concentration of ions in
the water. Such salts as NaCl, KI, KBr, and MgSO4 positively influence petroleum-collecting
activity whereas K2CO3 and NaHCO3 cause petroleum dispersing
