COREXIT 9580 Shoreline Cleaner: Development, Application, and Status
1995The cleanup of oiled shorelines has generally been by mechanical, labor-intensive means. The use of surfactants to deterge and lift the oil from the surface results in more complete and more rapid cleaning. Not only is the cleaning process more efficient, but it can also be less environmentally damaging since there is potentially much less human ...

Dynamic interfacial tension and dilational rheology of dispersant Corexit 9500
Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 2016Abstract During the Deep Water Horizon oil spill in 2010, approximately 4200 m 3 of Corexit 9500 were introduced to the Gulf of Mexico to disperse the 4.9 million barrels of crude oil that were released. This was the first time that dispersants were applied below the ocean surface.

A simple method for determination of corexit 9527® in natural waters
Marine Environmental Research, 1991Abstract A method for determination of Corexit 9527® in natural waters was developed to meet the demand for effective monitoring of anionic surfactant-based oil spill dispersants. Incorporating ion-pair formation with bis(ethylenediamine) copper(II), extraction of the complex into methylisobutylketone, and flame atomic absorption spectroscopy, the ...

Pulmonary Effects after Acute Inhalation of Oil Dispersant (COREXIT EC9500A) in Rats
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A, 2011COREXIT EC9500A (COREXIT) was used to disperse crude oil during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. While the environmental impact of COREXIT has been examined, the pulmonary effects are unknown. Investigations were undertaken to determine whether inhaled COREXIT elicits airway inflammation, alters pulmonary function or airway reactivity, or exerts ...

Removal of crude oil from highly contaminated natural surfaces with corexit dispersants
Journal of Environmental Management, 2019Dispersants are used to reduce the impact of oil spills in marine environment. Experiments were conducted with natural materials which were contaminated by direct application of fresh Louisiana crude oil. The natural materials evaluated included sea sand (South Beach in Miami, Florida), red mangrove leaves (Rhizophora mangle), and sea shells (Donax ...

Journal of Phycology, 2018
Culture experiments were conducted on ten phytoplankton species to examine their biological and physiological responses during exposure to oil and a combination of oil and dispersant. The species tested included a range of taxa typically found in the Gulf of Mexico such as cyanobacteria, chlorophytes, and diatoms.
