Oil fate during oil spills in the marine environment
The progression, duration, and result of these transformations depend on the properties and composition of the oil itself, parameters of the actual oil ... droplets. This accelerates the decomposition of oil products in the water column. Oxidation and destruction. Chemical transformations of oil on the water surface and in the water column start to reveal ...

Permeable Reactive Barriers
This method consists of installing an appropriate reactive material into the aquifer, so that contaminated water flows through the reactive zone. The reactive material induces chemical transformations that remove the contaminants or otherwise cause a change that decreases the toxicity of the contaminated water. This research has resulted in the development of contaminant removal ...

New Online Index Provides Information to Public on Ozone Hole Recovery
Both the midlatitude and the Antarctic indexes are based on NOAA’s gas measurements at Earth’s surface, but it takes longer for chemicals at the surface to reach the more distant Antarctic stratosphere. Also, chemical transformations occur at different rates in the two regions. Two indexes are needed to accurately capture these measurements. Hofmann estimated that ...

Evolution, Mass Extinctions, and Mass Speciations
Seafloor spreading, continental displacement (tectonic episodes), volcanic eruptions and so forth often accompany the other transformations. Records frequently show extensive areas of missing sediments (hiatuses) on submarine ridges and rises, and occasionally, even the deep abyssal floors, which reflects strong, deep ...

Scientific Forms of Energy: Stored Energy, Kinetic Energy, Chemical Energy, Conservation of Energy
Biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and propane are examples of stored chemical energy. Stored Mechanical Energy is energy stored in objects by the application of a force. ... of energy into another form always involves a loss of usable energy. In fact, most energy transformations are not very efficient. The human body is a good example. Your body is like a ...

NREL: Basic Sciences Research - Jim Brainard - Chemical and Biosciences Center Director
While at Los Alamos, his research interests focused primarily on the effects of microbes and microbial products on radionuclide speciation and mobility in the environment and on microbes and microbial transformations of organic xenobiotics. He held a number of leadership positions at Los Alamos during the last years of his tenure there, including group leader for the Molecular Microbiology and ...
