Theoretical Insight into the Biodegradation of Solitary Oil Microdroplets Moving through a Water Column
In the aftermath of oil spills in the sea, clouds of droplets drift into the seawater column and are carried away by sea currents. The fate of the drifting droplets is determined by natural attenuation processes, mainly dissolution into the seawater and biodegradation by oil-degrading microbial comm...
