Surfactant foam (SF) can be used to remediate petroleum-contaminated soil because of its easy transfer to inhomogeneous and low-permeability formations. Nanoparticles (NPs) not …
In our study, three gemini dicationic surfactants with different methylene group spacer (16-6- 16, 16-5-16 and 16-4-16) have been synthesized and characterized in solution by 1H NMR …
Diesel contamination of soil due to oil spills, disposal of refinery waste, oil exploration constitutes a major environmental problem. This paper reports the remediation of diesel …
Stable surfactant foam might play a vital role in the effective remediation of diesel oil contaminated soil-a major environmental hazard. This paper, first of its kind, is reporting the …
The utilization of waste substrates for rhamnolipid synthesis is a worthy alternative to conventional substrates to reduce the production cost of rhamnolipids. Rhamnolipid …
The ability of nanoparticles (NPs) to stabilize surfactant-based foams has been established in the past and shown to improve oil recovery from conventional porous media; however …
Surfactant-based foams have often been proposed as mobility control agents in enhanced oil recovery (EOR); however, their lack of stability under reservoir conditions has limited their …
