TL;DR: A cyclic, multiple reaction electrochemical corrosion mechanism, enhanced by the development of an electrical double-layer analogue, is proposed to explain the differing iron reactivities and aquifer material effects.

TL;DR: In this article, anionic and nonionic surfactants were evaluated for the enhanced soil washing of three different soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, and the results indicated that the lower CMC of nonionic and higher solubilization potential of anionic agents made them the preferred choice.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that an improvement in solubilization is directly related to the presence of a smooth, blurred, and expanded transition across the interfacial region from polar to apolar bulk phases.

TL;DR: A search of the literature concerning the influence of commercial surfactants and biosurfactants on microbial metabolism has been conducted in this paper, where factors pertaining to surfactant-substrate interactions such as emulsification, solubilization, and partitioning of hydrocarbons between phases, all of which can influence accessibility of substrates to microorganisms, are of concern.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of dye and media properties on dye sorption was evaluated using four fluorescent dyes (fluorescein, rhodamine B, Rhodamine WT, and sul-forhodamines B), two oppositely charged mineral surfaces (alumina and silica), and n-octanol (as a neutral organic phase).
