Hydrocarbon fuel spill dispersion on water: A literature review

Abstract The literature concerning the fate of light hydrocarbon fuel spills on water is reviewed. The review focuses on jet fuels and contains some discussion of gasoline, diesel, marine and kerosene fuel spills. The two major fates of light hydrocarbon spill on water are evaporation and dissolution, although biodegradation, photooxidation and adsorption onto suspended sediments can also be of some importance.
