Multiphasic Liquid
A multiphasic liquid is a mixture consisting of more than two immiscible liquid phases. Biphasic mixtures consisting of two immiscible phases are very common and usually consist of an organic solvent and an aqueous phase ("oil and water"). Multiphasic liquids can be used for selective liquid-liquid extractions or for decorative purposes, e.g. in cosmetics. While it is possible to get multilayered phases by layering nonpolar and aqueous phases of decreasing densities on top of each other, these phases will not separate after mixing like true multiphasic liquids. Compositions The following types of multiphasic liquids exist: Triphasic systems * Nonpolar solvent / aqueous biphasic mixture *: ''e.g. using hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, or mineral oil as the nonpolar solvent'' ** Nonpolar solvent / polar solvent / salt / water **: ''e.g. 100 ml mineral oil, 100 ml isopropanol, 75 ml water, 35 g calcium chloride'' ** Nonpolar solvent / water-soluble polym ...

Oil Spill
An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment, especially the marine ecosystem, due to human activity, and is a form of pollution. The term is usually given to marine oil spills, where oil is released into the ocean or coastal waters, but spills may also occur on land. Oil spills may be due to releases of crude oil from tankers, offshore platforms, drilling rigs and wells, as well as spills of refined petroleum products (such as gasoline, diesel) and their by-products, heavier fuels used by large ships such as bunker fuel, or the spill of any oily refuse or waste oil. Oil spills penetrate into the structure of the plumage of birds and the fur of mammals, reducing its insulating ability, and making them more vulnerable to temperature fluctuations and much less buoyant in the water. Cleanup and recovery from an oil spill is difficult and depends upon many factors, including the type of oil spilled, the temperature of the water (affe ...

Storm Oil
Storm oil is oil used to calm an area of water. It has been claimed that it has been used to calm seas to facilitate rescues. Oil was usually carried in a bag which would be released onto the water or in a container which would slowly deploy the oil. Description Steamships and lifeboats from many countries were required to carry them until the end of the 20th century. The United States Maritime Service Training Manual included storm oil in the list of general equipment aboard lifeboats, while the Merchant Shipping Act 1894 mandated them for British vessels until 1998. Frequently vegetable oil or fish oil was used as a cheap form of oil. Oil has a damping effect on water which absorbs some of the energy of the waves. It also quickly forms a thin layer over a large expanse of the surface of the water through a process of deprotonation. This prevents wind from being able to get traction along the water and thus waves cannot form as easily. History The practice can be traced back ...
