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.

本滚罐实验旨在支撑GRIIDC数据集R4.x263.000:0034与R4.x263.000:0035的研究结果。本实验探究了仅经过1小时滚转后，不同石油组分（正构烷烃（n-alkanes）与多环芳烃（polyaromatic hydrocarbons））向溶解水相中的溶解过程，同时还考察了分散剂Corexit对该溶解过程的影响。本次实验的滚罐体系中未引入任何生物体。鉴于已有研究表明，石油组分的溶解过程对其掺入海洋油雪（marine oil snow）具有关键作用，本实验旨在获取该溶解过程的补充实验数据。
