Antioxidant Response and Oxidative Stress in the Respiratory Tree of Sea Cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) Following Exposure to Crude Oil and Chemical Dispersant

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) is mainly cultured in the coastal zone, where it is easily threatened by accidental oil spills. Chemical dispersant is one of the efficient oil spill responses for mitigating the overall environmental damage of oil ...

EWOD Sensor for Rapid Quantification of Marine Dispersants in Oil Spill Management

Journal of Sensor and Actuator Networks
In this study, we introduce a novel Electrowetting-on-Dielectric (EWOD) sensor designed to quantify marine dispersants at the spill point. The sensor quantifies changes in the surface tension of liquid droplets at varying dispersant concentrations ...

An Exploratory Study on Graphene‐Based Hybrid Epoxy Coatings for Corrosion Resistance and Self‐Healing

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Corrosion of metallic process equipment in chemical, marine, and offshore industries leads to significant maintenance costs and safety concerns. Conventional epoxy coatings, though widely applied, often deteriorate under harsh conditions due to microcracking, moisture ingress and lack of self‐healing capability.

Biodegradation of Alkali-O2 Oxidized Lignins Used as Dispersants

BioResources, 2022
Large quantities of lignin are produced as by-streams via chemical pulping and emerging biorefinery processes. These lignins are typically water-insoluble; however, they can be converted into a water-soluble form by chemical modifications.
