Removal oil pollution using biosurfactants

Increased public awareness of environmental pollution influences the identification and development of technologies that promote the clean-up of organic and inorganic pollutants such as hydrocarbons and metals, Pollution by oil and petroleum products is causing serious damage to the environment, and increasing attention is being paid to the development and implementation of innovative technologies for the removal of these pollutants; Biosurfactants of the substance is widely used in the recovery of water and soil, as well as in the main stages of the oil production chain, such as extraction, transportation and storage, and this diversity of uses is mainly due to benefits such as biodegradability, Low toxicity and higher functionality under extreme conditions compared to synthetic analogues; In addition, a biosurfactants can be produced using agro-industrial waste as a substrate, thus reducing overall production costs.
