Figure 1. In this 3-D representation of the chemical analysis of COREXIT 9500, each peak represents one or more chemical structure. The line across the bottom shows retention time, the left axis intensity, and the diagonal axis molecular weight (labeled m/z). The large peak at ~15 minutes is DOSS, or dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, the active ingredient in most dispersants.
