Behavior of surfactants and surfactant blends in soils during remediation: A review
Behavior of surfactants and surfactant blends in soils during remediation: A review
The current document has three goals: 1) summarize the fundamentals in surfactant enhanced aquifer remediation, including the adsorption of hydrocarbons on soil and the mobilization and solubilization of hydrocarbons by surfactants; 2) evaluate the impact of soil geochemistry on surfactants; and 3) interpret the enhancement techniques in applying surfactants in soil remediation. Though such techniques are observed impacted by various factors, by looking into the theories and case studies, this r
