A green initiative for oiled sand cleanup using chitosan/rhamnolipid complex dispersion with pH-stimulus response

Author(s): Chen Z; An C; Wang Y; Zhang B; Tian X; Lee K;

The released oil can affect the vulnerable shoreline environment if the oil spills happen in coastal waters. The stranded oil on shorelines is persistent, posing a long-term influence on the intertidal ecosystem after weathering. Therefore, shoreline cleanup techniques are required to remove the oil from the shoreline environment. In this study, a new sho ...

Exploration of nanocellulose washing agent for the green remediation of phenanthrene-contaminated soil.

Author(s): Yin J, Huang G, An C, Zhang P, Xin X, Feng R

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are hazardous contaminants existing ubiquitously in polluted soil. In this study, using nanocellulose (CNC) fluid as an eco-friendly agent was proposed for the first time in the remediation of phenanthrene (PHE) contaminated soil. The effects of environmental factors on the mobilization of PHE in soil by CNC nanofluid was ...

Investigation into the oil removal from sand using a surface washing agent under different environmental conditions.

Author(s): Bi H, An C, Chen X, Owens E, Lee K

Spilled oil frequently reaches the shorelines and affects coastal biota and communities. The application of surface washing agents is an important shoreline cleanup technique that can help remove stranded oil from substrate surfaces with the advantages of high removal efficiency, low toxicity, and strong economic viability. In this study, the investigatio ...
