Commercial Surfactants for Remediation: Mobilization of Trace Metals from Estuarine Sediment and Bioavailability by Anu Singh BishtEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2018 (2019 Edition) | 110 Pages | ISBN : 9811302200 | 5.33 MB
This book demonstrates the benefits of using commercially available surfactants, or surface-active agents, for remediation of metal-contaminated soil and sediment. First the book offers theoretical reviews of commercially available surfactants, then it proceeds to a study of various available surfactants for the mobilization of metals. Surfactants representative of amphiphiles discovered in the digestive environment of sediment-ingesting organisms are used to examine the extent and rate of metal (Al, Fe, Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sn, Zn) mobilization from contaminated estuarine sediment. Metals can cause harmful effects to the environment and organisms.
