Surfactant–soil interactions during surfactant-amended remediation of contaminated soils by hydrophobic organic compounds: A review

Surfactants are amphiphilic molecules that reduce aqueous surface tension and increase the solubility of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs). Surfactant-amended remediation of HOC-contaminated soils and aquifers has received significant attention as an effective treatment strategy – similar in conc...
