Due to the continuous depletion of crude oils in the reserves, and continuous rise in energy
demand, there is currently a widespread interest in various methods of chemical enhanced …

In response to increasing natural surfactant demand and environmental concerns, natural
plant-based surfactants have been replacing synthetic ones. Saponins belong to a class of …

Injecting surfactant by means of chemical enhanced oil recovery (cEOR) has acquired
predominant attention in improving oil recovery by changing either fluid/rock and/or …

It is well-known that surfactants are molecules able to modify the surface properties of the
liquid in which they are introduced (usually water). The simultaneous presence of both …

Surfactant injection into a depleted hydrocarbon reservoir is one of the ways to reduce
residual oil saturation, thereby enhancing crude oil production. However, surfactants …

Identifying and addressing critical improvements in biomass, bioproduct and biofuel
productivity is a priority for the nascent algae-based bioeconomy. Economic and …

Biomass valorization has emerged as a promising and sustainable means of
