What do oil spills do to the environment?

作者：

 The impact of oil spills on the environment can be summarized as follows: ① the density of crude oil is usually small, floating on the sea, shielding the sun, affecting photosynthesis and reducing productivity. ② It contains toxic organic substances (such as benzene), causing the death of more sensitive marine organisms, such as various plankton, fish, etc. some toxic substances will gradually accumulate in the bodies of higher trophic organisms through the food chain. ③ Oil pollution will adhere to the surface of some organisms, affect some biological activities (such as sea birds, which may lose the ability to fly) and cause poisoning. ④ It can be seen from the above description that the large-scale crude oil leakage has damage to all levels of the ecosystem, and the oil is difficult to be decomposed naturally. In the natural state, it is generally diffused through wind and waves to gradually dilute and digest the impact caused by the crude oil. If it is in a calmer sea area, the harm will be even greater. Hopetopway oil absorbent pad is made of lipophilic ultra-fine fiber non-woven fabric. It does not contain chemicals and will not cause secondary public hazards. It can quickly absorb oil, organic solvents, hydrocarbons, vegetable oil and other liquids dozens of times its weight.

Here is the contene list:

● Advantages of using oil absorbent pad

● Handling procedures for small-scale oil and chemical leakage

● What is the principle of oil absorption with oil absorbent pad


Advantages of using oil absorbent pad.

1. Oil absorber pad can absorb oil and water to the greatest extent, even in rainy weather.

2. Oil absorbent mat can lock the drip and absorb slightly spilled liquid.

3. The top and bottom layers of oil absorbent pad are composed of closely woven multi strand fibers with small diameter, so the surface area is increased and the adsorption capacity is stronger.

4. The oil absorbing layer of oil absorbent mat can withstand frequent trampling and wear, so that the oil absorb mat has the characteristics of oil absorbing layer. Make the oil absorbent pad more durable and reduce the number of replacement.

5. Oil absorbent pad can add tear line, and oil absorbent pad can be used according to actual needs.

6. The color identification of oil absorbent mat helps you visually identify the absorbent you need. White indicates the special oil absorbent mat for oil stain. The white design allows you to easily see whether the oil stain has been absorbed by the absorber pad.

Handling procedures for small-scale oil and chemical leakage

Due to accidental small-scale oil leakage, the following basic guidelines can be followed:

● First, quickly take out the gloves and glasses from the Leakage Emergency combination suit and wear them;

● Quickly take out the oil absorption socks and connect them in turn to block the oil leakage or chemicals, so as to prevent further diffusion and pollution of large-area environment;

● Take out the oil conservator, place it on the enclosed oil surface, and quickly absorb the oil by relying on the super adsorption force of the oil conservator, so as to reduce the risk caused by volatilization of a large amount of oil exposed to the working environment for a long time;

● Completely absorb the residual oil after rough absorption treatment of oil absorption pillow and oil absorption socks;

Finally, take out the garbage bag, clean all used oil suction pillows, oil suction ropes, viscous liquids or solids and other impurities into the garbage bag, tie the bag mouth, transport it away in the Leakage Emergency combination package, and hand it over to a professional waste treatment company for treatment. The leakage emergency treatment barrel can be reused after being cleaned.

What is the principle of oil absorption with oil absorbent pad

Oil absorb pad uses the principle of chemical adsorption. Oil absorbent mat is made of lipophilic groups, so it has a certain adsorption on oily substances, which is a bit similar to exchange resin.

  what is a boom oil spill ? Since the 1960s, oil spills have frequently occurred. After oil spills, sea water pollution has been caused. Oil pollution will also isolate the air exchange between the atmosphere and sea water, and weaken the energy of sunlight penetrating into the sea water, resulting in serious hypoxia in the sea water, weakened photosynthesis of marine plants, unable to grow normally, and the number of marine plankton that feed on it will also decrease, thereby destroying the marine ecological balance. Not only that, after the decomposition of oil, a large number of nitrogen and phosphorus residues will be produced, leading to the eutrophication of sea water. At this time, the algae and plankton in the sea seem to get a delicious look. They greedily eat these nutrients. In the process of feeding, plankton also need a lot of oxygen, but the oxygen in sea water is very limited, so plankton and other marine organisms began to compete for oxygen, Many marine creatures ...

On April 20th, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform blew out and exploded. After burning for about 36 hours, the drilling rig finally sank in the morning of April 22. The accident resulted in the death of 11 workers and 17 injuries, and at least 560000 tons of crude oil flowed into the Gulf of Mexico, which is recognized as the largest oil spill in industrial history. In order to prevent the further expansion of the oil pollution area, the cleaning workers use physical barriers such as oil containment boom to block the oil pollution. At the same time, they drove the skimmer to clean up most of the oil slick and absorbed the residual oil slick like a sponge with an adhesive. In order to solve the problem of oil spill on the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform, workers put 5.3 million liters of oil chemicals into the oil well. Oiling agents are similar to dishwashing agents, which can effectively decompose oil and dissolve it into water, reducing the erosion of oil on the coastl...

How are oil spills caused?

作者：
  Oil spills can have a devastating impact on the environment and wildlife, as well as on local economies that rely on tourism and fishing. These spills can be caused by a variety of factors, including accidents, natural disasters, and human activities. One common cause of oil spills is accidents involving oil tankers, pipelines, and offshore drilling platforms. These accidents can be caused by a variety of factors, including human error, equipment failure, and extreme weather conditions. For example, a tanker may run aground or collide with another vessel, resulting in the release of oil into the water. Another cause of oil spills is natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunamis, which can damage oil infrastructure and cause spills. These disasters can also trigger landslides and mudslides, which can bury or damage pipelines, leading to spills. Human activities can also contribute to oil spills. For example, illegal dumping of oil and other hazardous substances ...

  Oil leakage refers to the leakage of crude oil caused by oil and gas gathering and transmission pipelines, crude oil tanks, oil tankers, crude oil tankers and other crude oil transportation facilities, oil well overflow, blowout and other events, which cause environmental pollution and endanger human life. After benzene, toluene and other toxic compounds in oil leaked into the sea, these toxic compounds also quickly entered the food chain, from low-grade algae to higher mammals, without exception. A large number of seabirds are trapped in oil. Once their feathers are stained with oil, they can't fly away from the sea and drown or die from poisoning. At the same time, seals and dolphins polluted by oil jumped out of the water again and again, trying to shake off the oil on their fur, but finally they were exhausted and struggled to sink to the bottom of the sea. Large marine animals such as walruses and whales face the same fate. In addition, the potential damage further extends t...

How do oil spills affect the atmosphere？

作者：
  The main reason why oil causes serious pollution to the environment is that oil is composed of a variety of organic compounds, including four main components: 1. Saturated alkanes 2. Aromatic hydrocarbons 3. Asphaltenes 4. Colloid. The oil film formed on the sea surface can hinder the gas exchange between the atmosphere and seawater, and affect the absorption, transmission and reflection of electromagnetic radiation on the sea surface. Oil film covered in polar ice for a long time, can enhance the capacity of ice endothermic, accelerate the melting of the ice, on global sea level change and the potential impact of climate change for a long time these toxic substances not easily degraded in the soil, because the oil viscosity, it can stick on the plant roots, blocking the plant root respiration resulting in plant decay until they die. Hopetopway oil absorbent pad is made of a kind of polypropylene fiber material. Oil absorbent mat does not contain any chemical components.   O...
