Abstract

Oil photooxidation by natural sunlight is a process that fundamentally affects the composition, properties, and fate of oil residues in the environment, especially after marine oil spills. This chapter summarizes the current knowledge about the mechanism of photochemical petroleum oxygenation, the bulk and molecular characterization of oil photoproducts, and the fate of photooxidized oil in the environment. Furthermore, current knowledge gaps and perspectives for further research are discussed.
