摘要

Oil spills in aquatic environments seriously impact marine ecosystems by degrading water quality and disrupting the natural balance of aquatic life. Chemical remediation methods often employ dispersants—surfactant-based agents that break oil into smaller droplets, enhancing microbial degradation. This study aimed to evaluate the dispersion effectiveness of palm-oil-based dispersant (POBD) and petroleum-based dispersant (PBD) at various dispersant-to-oil ratios (DORs) to determine the optimal ratio for effective oil spill remediation. Crude oil-contaminated seawater was treated with dispersants at DORs ranging from 0.1:1 to 1:1, followed by assessments of water quality parameters (COD, pH, DO, and TDS) and hydrocarbon profiles. Results showed that POBD achieved a higher dispersion effectiveness (62.79%) compared to PBD (45.14%) and produced smaller droplet sizes (mean 0.71 \(\:\:{\upmu\:}\text{m}\) vs. 1.93 \(\:{\upmu\:}\text{m})\) . The post-remediation seawater treated with POBD had COD 587 mg/L, DO 3.73 mg/L, pH 8.29, and TDS 30.58 ppt, whereas PBD-treated samples showed COD 373 mg/L, DO 3.33 mg/L, pH 7.23, and TDS 28.41 ppt. Tukey’s test confirmed that POBD performed best at a DOR of 0.25:1, with no significant difference compared to higher ratios. This finding highlights the potential of POBD as a viable alternative due to their ability to maintain post-remediation water quality better and offer greater sustainability.
