Poly(oxypropylene-oxyethylene glycol) block copolymer(PBC) oil dispersant, which has low toxicity, high biodegradability, and an excellent dispersion efficiency to crude oils and weathered W/O emulsion was prepared by blending PBC, poly(oxyethylene) oleate, and sorbitan monooleate. The dispersing efficiency was measured by swirling flask method. The PBC oil dispersant had an excellent dispersing efficiency to weathered oil products formed as stable W/O emulsion, and the low toxicity, such as 4000 ppm to Oryzias Latipes(24 hr, TLM), Brine Shrimp Artemia(24 hr, TLM).

Polyoxyethylene monooleate was prepared by addition of ethylene oxide to oleic acid. And also, polyoxyethylene monooleate type oil dispersant was prepared by blending polyoxyethylene monooleate, n-paraffine, sorbitan monooleate, sorbitan monopalmitate, and palm oil. Dispersion efficiency test was carried out by vertical shaking flask and swirling flask methods. Low toxic oil dispersant was prepared with polyoxyethylene monooleate, which has high biodegradability and excellent dispersion efficiency on crude oils and weathered W/O emulsions with high viscosity, and its dispersion efficiency was measured to various crude oils and weathered oils.
