Abstract
Biochemical oxygen demand and riverwater biodegradation tests of oil spill dispersants were determined at three sodium chloride concentrations—0, 20, and 40 g/L—and at ambient temperature. Surfactant concentration was monitored by infra red spectroscopy. Results obtained indicated that microbial degradation of all the dispersants used in the study decreased with increasing salt concentration.
