This review aims to provide an overview of the sources and reactions of persistent organic
pollutants (POPs) and surfactants in soil and sediments, the surfactant-enhanced …

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

Sorption of organic contaminants (phenol, p-nitrophenol, and naphthalene) to natural solids
(soils and bentonite) with and without myristylpyridinium bromide (MPB) cationic surfactant …

Experiments in batch soil/aqueous systems were conducted to evaluate the sorption onto
soil of three micelle-forming non-ionic surfactants and one lamellae-forming non-ionic …

Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules that reduce aqueous surface tension and increase
the solubility of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs). Surfactant-amended remediation …

Contaminated environments posed serious threats to the ecosystems and their living beings.
Suitable preventive approaches should be adopted for effective remediation of …

Extracting aqueous solutions with or without additives are employed to solubilize
contaminants in soil. Since water solubility is the controlling removing mechanism, additives …

Oil leakage, which is inevitable in the process of extraction, processing, transportation and
storage, seriously undermines the soil and groundwater environment. Surfactants can …

Surfactant-enhanced remediation (SER) is considered as a promising and efficient
remediation approach. This review summarizes and discusses main drivers on the …

Water solubility enhancements of naphthalene (Naph), acenaphthylene (Acen), anthracene
(An), phenanthrene (Phen) and pyrene (Py) by micellar solutions of single and mixed …
