Oil slicks often show uncertain surface roughness and Fresnel reflection parameters. Consequently, differentiating oil spilled on the seawater in these areas using optical sensors is a challenge. Therefore, the optical mechanism of the oil film has been studied by the Maxwell equation. It is found that the polarization characteristics of the oil slicks can help us to overcome this problem. According to the Fresnel formula, the scattering coefficient and scattering rate of the homogeneous oil film have been deduced, and the phase difference of the scattering electromagnetic wave has also been calculated to verify the accuracy of the model. The parameter, a degree of scattering polarization, has been derived to identify the oil slicks on the sea wave. It depends on accurately knowing the Stokes parameter for the reflected light, and varies with the refractive index of the surface layer and viewing angles. The actual spilled oil has been measured by this model, and the oil film can be accurately identified at various angles. These preliminary results suggest that the potential of multi-angle polarization measurement of ocean surface needs further researches.

The results of a field study of surface film spreading on the sea surface are presented. The experiments were carried out in the coastal zone of the Black Sea in a wide range of wind speeds and wave conditions. Vegetable oil was used for preparing the surfactants. It was found that at moderate and strong wind speeds the slicks take on a shape similar to an ellipse and are orientated in the direction of the air flow. An increase in the speed of the spreading slick along its major axis with strong wind was discovered.

Design of mobile device for oil slicks destruction on the sea using microwave plasma is presented. Microwave plasma was formed in nitrogen flowing with a rate of 10 L/min. Such plasma causes evaporation and partial oxidation of oil separated from water. In the next step gaseous hydrocarbons are fully oxidized in a reactor of dielectric barrier discharge.

Przedstawiono projekt pływającego urządzenia do niszczenia plam ropopochodnych na powierzchni morza za pomocą plazmy mikrofalowej. Plazma mikrofalowa jest generowana w azocie przepływającym z natężeniem 10 dm3/min. Plazma powoduje odparowanie i częściowe utlenienie składników ropopochodnych oddzielonych wcześniej od wody w separatorze. W kolejnym etapie następuje całkowite utlenienie gazowych węglowodorów w reaktorze wyładowania barierowego.
