With the sharp increase in population and modernization of society, environmental pollution
resulting from petroleum hydrocarbons has increased, resulting in an urgent need for …

This review aims to provide an overview of the sources and reactions of persistent organic
pollutants (POPs) and surfactants in soil and sediments, the surfactant-enhanced …

The use of equilibrium expressions for sorption to natural particles in fate and transport
models is often invalid due to slow kinetics. This paper reviews recent research into the …

The recent identification of one class of fluorinated surfactants in groundwater impacted by
fire-fighting activity has created an awareness of the potential environmental issues resulting …

Surfactant based remediation technologies for organic contaminated soil and water
(groundwater or surface water) is of increasing importance recently. Surfactants are used to …

The general concept of using the unique phase separation behavior of some surfactant
micelle solutions as a means for extractive separation is outlined and described. Next, the …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination of the environment represents a
serious threat to the health of humans and ecosystems. Given the human health effects of …

This study investigated potential application of two biosurfactants, surfactin (SF) and
rhamnolipid (RL), for enhanced biodegradation of diesel-contaminated water and soil with a …

Biodegradation of hydrophobic organic compounds inpolluted soil is a process involving
interactionsamong soil particles, pollutants, water, andmicro-organisms. Surface-active …
