Abstract
Abstract Chemical treatment methods have been used at all recent major oil spills with varying degrees of success. It is the intention of this paper to bring to light the latest technical information on the applicability and effectiveness of the various chemicals and materials presently available for preventing and or controlling oil spills. Special emphasis is given to techniques designed to absorb and gel oils floating on the water surface, to sink oils, and to permit burning of the oil mass upon open waters and affected shorelines. The impact, consequences and damages of small and large oil spills are covered by other prominent speakers at this Conference, and therefore, will be only briefly mentioned as necessary.
