The Role of Biophysical Stickiness on Oil-Mineral Flocculation and Settling in Seawater
Biophysical cohesive particles in aquatic systems, such as extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and clay minerals, play an important role in determining the transport of spilled oil contamination and its eventual fate, particularly given that suspended sediment and microbial activities are often...
