Green dispersants are so-called “green” because they are renewable (from bio-based
sources), non-volatile (from ionic liquids), or are from naturally available solvents (vegetable …

The current global economy demands synergy between ecological responsiveness and
proactive business models. To analyze these dynamics, the objective of this study is to …

Chemical dispersants are used extensively for oil spill remediation. Most of these
dispersants are composed of a mixture of surfactants and organic solvents, which raises …

Chemical dispersants are extensively used for marine oil spill remediation. However, the
increased toxicity and low biodegradability of these dispersants restrict their employment in …

Oil spill remediation plays a vital role in mitigating the environmental impacts caused by oil
spills. The chemical method is one of the widely recognized approaches in chemical …

This research aims to investigate the fluid-fluid interaction between surfactant-ion-tuned
water and crude from a macroscopic and molecular point of view. In this regard, the …

The migration of oil spills in marine environment is still not clear, especially the key
processes of submerging and floating, which is an important concern for effective disposal of …

The disastrous consequences for society—economically, environmentally, and socially—
caused by oil spills encouraged us to treat this problem. The target of this work is to …

A sequential process of electrokinetic soil flushing (EKSF) and landfarming treatment was
demonstrated to remove hydrocarbons from clay soil. Surfactant concentration was the …
