From the use of fungus to decompose the contaminants from hydrocarbons to machines to process hydrocarbons, scientific advances aim to find better methods to collect oil spilled. Unfortunately, in multiple occasions, oil spills happen due to accidents or inadequate practices; extremely dangerous when it happens in the sea, giving origin to the term ‘black tide’. The damage to the marine and land ecosystem once the oil reaches the shores deeply affects marine fauna and fishing. And its damaging effects can last over time.   The black tide affects land and marine ecosystem When the  oil  penetrates the marine environment in small doses, nature can handle it wisely by itself; however, big scale oil spills remain on the surface of the water giving it a pasty consistency that can easily spread due to sea currents and wind. Birds and sea creatures are attracted to the black tide by the similarity with what they eat; this can damage their skin or feathers. ...

If we think about oil derivate products, we only have to look around. After all, our modern life is unimaginable without the oil's existence, nor its derivates'. Each  oil deposit  has its singularities that may vary depending on the  relation between the carbon and hydrogen atoms , and each one has variable amounts of  sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen . These mixtures are different in each deposit, and this means that each crude oil varies, it will be different depending on the minerals in the oil deposit. According to the  hydrocarbon  compounds , that are present in the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas, one can get different  derivates  with different uses after the oil's  refining  process. Oil derivates   Among the most important  oil  derivate  products , we can find: Fuels : This kind of derivate is the most demanded worldwide. The reason why this happens is that fuels ...
