This book discusses how non-ionic surfactants alter interfacial properties promoting polycyclic aromatics hydrocarbons (PAHs) solubilization and dissolution from Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (NAPLs) when applied alone or in combination with other remediation techniques such as the biodegradation. The effects of non-ionic surfactants observed on the kinetics of PAHs solubilization process, on the mechanisms that control the rates of solubilization and on the rates and extent of biodegradation are also discussed with emphasis on the molecular structure and concentration of the surfactants.

Produktbeschreibung
This book discusses how non-ionic surfactants alter
interfacial properties promoting polycyclic
aromatics hydrocarbons (PAHs) solubilization and
dissolution from Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids (NAPLs)
when applied alone or in combination with other
remediation techniques such as the biodegradation.
The effects of non-ionic surfactants observed on the
kinetics of PAHs solubilization process, on the
mechanisms that control the rates of solubilization
and on the rates and extent of biodegradation are
also discussed with emphasis on the molecular
structure and concentration of the surfactants. An
improved understanding and controlling the
properties of non-ionic surfactant-containing
solution has considerable practical importance and
may lead to strategies for significantly enhancing
remediation of contaminated sites when non-ionic
surfactant is employed.
