Abstract:Various studies report
that aside from the adverse impact of the
crude oil on the marine environment, there is the likelihood that
chemical dispersants used on the surface of water as oil-treating
agents themselves possess a degree of toxicity, which have additional
effects on the environment. To eliminate the subject of toxicity,
there exist several materials in nature that have the ability to form
good emulsions, and such products include protein molecules. In this
study, chicken feathers which are known to … Show more
