Component-specific Investigation of Oil Distribution in Seawater - Partitioning of oil in the absence of biota : Control tank data after 1 hour

This roller tank experiment was conducted to support results in GRIIDC datasets R4.x263.000:0034 and R4.x263.000:0035. It investigates the dissolution of different oil compounds (n-alkanes and polyaromatic hydrocarbons) into the dissolved water phase after only 1 hour of rotation. The effect of the dispersant Corexit on the dissolution was investigated as well. No organisms were present in the tanks in this experiment. The aim was to gain additional information on oil compound dissolution, since it was found to be of importance for oil incorporation into marine oil snow.

本滚动槽实验旨在为GRIIDC数据集R4.x263.000:0034与R4.x263.000:0035中的研究结果提供支撑。本实验探究了仅经1小时滚动处理后，不同石油组分（正构烷烃（n-alkanes）与多环芳烃（Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons））向溶解态水相中的溶解过程，同时考察了柯蒂斯（Corexit）分散剂对该溶解过程的影响。本实验所用槽体未引入任何生物体。本实验旨在获取石油组分溶解过程的补充数据，鉴于该过程被证实对石油组分并入海洋油雪具有关键作用。
