The second installment of the multivolume Handbook of Detergents deals with the potential
environmental impact of detergents as a result of their production, formulation, usage …

The effect of different concentrations of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)
on biodegradation of diesel oil was assessed during 32 days at 10° C, under simulated …

Pollution caused by spent engine oil has become a major global ecological concern as it
constitutes a big threat to plants, animals, microorganisms and the soil ecosystem. This …

The wastewater bacterial growth was investigated at different temperatures (20, 40, 60 and
80° C), and the effect of crude oil and surfactant on the bacterial growth was tested. It was …

This paper presents scaled physical model studies for petroleum contaminant removal using
surfactant solutions. Scaling criteria are selected in such a way that a realistic representation …

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS),
anthracene and a LAS–anthracene mixture on the growth of a microbial consortium isolated …

Disposal of the oil sludge is one of the fundamental problems of petroleum production.
Increasingly stringent environmental control regulations, lack of final disposal sites, and high …

In the following review, papers considering fate and transport processes in groundwater
systems are discussed first. The fate and transport process papers are divided among …
