The newest results concerning the biological activity and environmental fate of anionic
surfactants are collected and critically evaluated. The chemical and physicochemical …

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

This book combines the results of current research with essential background material to
provide complete, in-depth coverage of every aspect of in situ and ex situ bioremediation, as …

We describe a three-dimensional, multicomponent, multiphase compositional finite-
difference simulator for application to the analysis of contaminant transport and surfactant …

Rapid in situ degradation of chlorinated solvents present as nonaqueous phase liquids
(NAPL) can be accomplished using reactive zerovalent nanoiron particles. Prior studies …

Surfactants and builders are the two most important ingredients in laundry, household and
personal-care cleaning products. They play a key role in washing processes. The …

Given the presence of a wide variety of contaminants in the environment, it is important to
understand what drives a contaminant from one medium to another, as well as the manner …

Ex situ soil washing is commonly used for treating contaminated soils by separating the most
contaminated fraction of the soil for disposal. Surfactant-enhanced soil washing is being …

Soils are complex and widely varying mixtures of organic matter and inorganic materials;
adsorption of surfactants to soils is therefore related to the soil composition. We first discuss …

Soil contamination with petroleum hydrocarbons has caused critical environmental and
health defects and increasing attention has been paid for develo** innovative technology …
