The effectiveness of chemical dispersants (Corexit 9500 and SPC 1000) on heavy fuel oil (IFO180 as test oil) has been evaluated under different wave conditions in a flow-through wave tank. The dispersant effectiveness was determined by measuring oil concentrations and droplet size distributions. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model indicated that wave type and temperature significantly (p<0.05) affected the dynamic dispersant effectiveness (DDE). At higher temperatures (16 degrees C), the test IFO180 was effectively dispersed under breaking waves with a DDE of 90% and 50% for Corexit 9500 and SPC 1000, respectively. The dispersion was ineffective under breaking waves at lower temperature (10 degrees C), and under regular wave conditions at all temperatures (10-17 degrees C), with DDE<15%. Effective chemical dispersion was associated with formation of smaller droplets (with volumetric mean diameters or VMD < or = 200 microm), whereas ineffective dispersion produced large oil droplets (with VMD > or = 400 microm).
在水流波槽中,针对不同波浪条件,评估了化学分散剂(Corexit 9500 和 SPC 1000)对重燃料油(IFO180 作为测试油)的有效性。通过测量油浓度和液滴尺寸分布来确定分散剂的有效性。协方差分析(ANCOVA)模型表明,波浪类型和温度显著(p<0.05)影响动态分散剂效率(DDE)。在较高温度(16 摄氏度)下,测试 IFO180 在破碎波下得到有效分散,Corexit 9500 和 SPC 1000 的 DDE 分别为 90%和 50%。在较低温度(10 摄氏度)下,破碎波下的分散效果不佳,而在所有温度(10-17 摄氏度)下,规则波条件下的 DDE<15%。有效的化学分散与形成较小的液滴(体积平均直径或 VMD <或= 200 微米)有关,而无效的分散则产生较大的油滴(VMD >或= 400 微米)。
