Aquatic ecosystems cover over two thirds of our planet and play a pivotal role in stabilizing
the global climate as well as providing a large array of services for a fast-growing human …

Abstract The Deepwater Horizon oil spill constituted an ecosystem-level injury in the
northern Gulf of Mexico. Much oil spread at 1100–1300 m depth, contaminating and …

Utilization of hierarchically aligned natural cellulosic structures has become a leading
natural template scaffold for a diverse range of functional applications. This natural scaffold …

Polyaniline (PANI) is utilized in numerous membrane-based oil/water emulsion separation
systems due to its simple synthesis, low cost, chemical stability, and abundant amino …

Dispersants are globally and routinely applied as an emergency response to oil spills in
marine ecosystems with the goal of chemically enhancing the dissolution of oil into water …

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the northern Gulf of Mexico represents the largest marine
accidental oil spill in history. It is distinguished from past spills in that it occurred at the …

In this research, polyaniline (PANI) was used to modify polyacrylonitrile (PAN) electrospun
nanofibers for separating oil/water (O/W) emulsions due to its hydrophilic amino groups and …

Field and laboratory experiments are designed to measure Sargassum biomass per area
(density), surface reflectance, nutrient contents, and pigment concentrations. An alternative …

Oil adsorption from oily wastewater using three-dimensional porous materials is a popular
mode of separation, but the adsorption of oil droplets from oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions is …

Major oil spills are catastrophic events that immensely affect the environment and society,
yet determining their spatial extent is a highly complex task. During the Deepwater Horizon …
