Surfactants form a unique class of chemical compounds. This review provides an
introduction to the nature and physical properties of surfactants, emphasizing their ability to …

Soil flushing using aqueous solutions is employed to solubilise contaminants. As water
solubility is the controlling mechanism of dissolution, additives (surfactants, cosolvents, etc.) …

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 …

Aerobic biodegradation of four representative commercial surfactants under a range of
concentrations (ie, sub-and supra-critical micelle concentrations, CMCs) beyond those …

Foams have been used for decades as displacing fluids for enhanced oil recovery and
aquifer remediation, and more recently, for remediation of the vadose zone, in which case …

Abstract Purpose of Review Soils can receive a considerable amount of perfluoroalkyl and
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) via different contamination pathways. Remediating PFAS …

Colloidal aphrons are multi-layered stable bubbles (CGAs) or droplets (CLAs), surrounded
by a thin surfactant film. The small size of the aphrons creates a system with a high …

Contaminated sites can pose a significant risk to public health and the environment. Many
different insitu or ex-situ remediation technologies have been developed throughout the …

Remediation of sandy soils contaminated with diesel oil was investigated in bench-scale
experiments. Surfactant solution, regular foams and colloidal gas aphrons were used as …

The ability of surfactant foam to enhance mobility control and LNAPL recovery in a
heterogeneous porous media was investigated through sandbox experiments with p-xylene …
