The extraction efficiencies of three non-ionic surfactants; Tween 80, Brij 35 and Triton X-100
at different concentrations of 0.1-0.5% w/v were investigated. It was observed that for the …

This paper presents the results from study investigating the efficiency with which different
surfactants remove crude oil from contaminated soil using a soil washing process. The …

This study reports experimental measurements investigating the ability of a biological
(rhamnolipid) and a synthetic (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS) surfactant to remove the North …

The growing energy demand leads to the increasing use of petroleum products.
Contaminations caused by uncontrolled release of oil bring risks to the environment. In this …

This paper presents the optimum conditions for washing Ekofisk crude oil-contaminated soil
with biosurfactant solutions using the Taguchi experimental design method. The optimum …

The effectiveness of cell‐free rhamnolipid biosurfactant, derived from the culture medium at
the end of fermentation was investigated for the removal of two different kinds of oil from …

The goal of this work was to determine the effectiveness of various surfactant-based
reagents and disclose the interrelationships of the effectiveness of the reagent and the type …

Hydrophobic Organic Compounds (HOCs) present in crude oil are quite insoluble in
aqueous phase and hence are not available towards hydrophilic microorganisms. Addition …

Batch experiments were performed to investigate the feasibility of a surfactant-enhanced soil
washing process for soils heavily contaminated with crude oil in Kuwait. TPH concentration …

Effectiveness of surfactants SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate), AOT (sodium dioctyl
sulfosuccinate) and Brij 35 (polyoxyethylene lauryl ether) in removing residual oil from soils …
