Adsorption of crude oil components at mineral surfaces followed by quartz crystal micro-balance and contact angle measurements: The effect of oil composition, simulated weathering and dispersants
Farooq, Umer; Nourani, Meysam; Ivol, Flavien; Årrestad, Anne Bjerke; Øye, Gisle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Improved knowledge of interactions between crude oil and solid surfaces is of great importance for understanding oil spill responses as well as oil spill behavior on land and in the near-shore environment. Here, the goal ... -
Characterization of Crude Oil-Water and Solid -Water Interfaces and Adsorption / Desorption Properties of Crude Oil Fractions: The Effect of Low Salinity Water and pH
Farooq, Umer (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2010:173, Doctoral thesis, 2010)The reservoirs of conventional oil are rapidly depleting because of increased production and consumption of crude oil in the world. Mature and mostly depleted oil reservoirs require advanced recovery techniques to sustain ... -
Dispersibility and biotransformation of oils with different properties in seawater
Brakstad, Odd Gunnar; Farooq, Umer; Ribicic, Deni; Netzer, Roman (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Dispersants are used to remove oils slicks from sea surfaces and to generate small oil-droplet dispersions, which may result in enhanced biodegradation of the oil. In this study, dispersibility and biodegradation of ... -
Interaction of different crude oils with model shoreline surfaces: Adsorption and wettability studies
Kjemperud, Jostein (Master thesis, 2013)To improve shoreline cleanup operations in the current oil spill response systems, a better understanding of the interactions between the spilled crude oil and the shoreline surfaces is required. The objective of this study ...
