Abstract

Spilled oil frequently reaches the shorelines and affects coastal biota and communities. The application of surface washing agents is an important shoreline cleanup technique that can help remove stranded oil from substrate surfaces with the advantages of high removal efficiency, low toxicity, and strong economic viability. In this study, the investigation into the oil removal from contaminated sand using a surface washing agent under variable environmental conditions was conducted. A preliminary test was conducted to obtain the optimal combination of operating factors of surface washing agent-to-oil ratio (SOR) 2:1, mixing speed 150 rpm, and mixing time 30 min. The results of single-factor experiments showed that high temperature and humic acid concentration of flush water contributed to the performance of a surface washing agent, while salinity and kaolinite concentration could inhibit its performance. The factorial analysis revealed the main effects of temperature and salinity, and the interactive effects of temperature and salinity as well as salinity and humic acid concentration that were significant to the washing efficiency of the surface washing agent. In addition, the comprehensive assessment of a surface washing agent from the aspects of toxicity, detergency, dispersion properties, and field trials was conducted. The results have significant implications for future application of surface washing agents in the shoreline cleanup.
