The occurrence of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) in soil has become a highly
significant environmental issue. This problem has been exacerbated by the strong sorption …

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic, mutagenic and carcinogenic organic
compounds that are widely present in the environment. The bioremediation of PAHs is an …

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

This study investigated potential application of two biosurfactants, surfactin (SF) and
rhamnolipid (RL), for enhanced biodegradation of diesel-contaminated water and soil with a …

Bioremediation processes are negatively affected by the low aqueous solubility of some
contaminants; therefore their bioavailability may be enhanced by the addition of surfactants …

The present investigation aims at estimating the biodegradation coefficients of surfactants.
The biodegradabilities of Triton X-100 and Rhamnolipid were tested under aerobic, nitrate …

Microbially produced biosurfactants were studied to enhance crude oil desorption and
mobilization in model soil column systems. The ability of biosurfactants from Rhodococcus …

Microbial consortia isolated from aged oil-contaminated soil were used to degrade 16
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (15.72 mgkg− 1) in soil and slurry phases. The three …

Emerging micro-pollutants have rapidly contaminated the agro-ecosystem, posing serious
challenges to a sustainable future. The vast majority of them have infiltrated the soil and …
