Aggregate-based sub-CMC Solubilization of n-Alkanes by Monorhamnolipid Biosurfactant.
Solubilization of n-decane, dodecane, tetradecane and hexadecane by monorhamnolipid biosurfactant (monoRL) at concentrations near the critical micelle concentration (CMC) was investigated. The apparent solubility of all the four alkanes increases linearly with increasing monoRL concentration either below or above CMC. The capacity of solubilization presented by the molar solubilization ratio (M...
متن کاملAggregate-based sub-CMC Solubilization of Hexadecane by Surfactants.
Solubilization of hexadecane by two surfactants, SDBS and Triton X-100, at concentrations near the critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the related aggregation behavior was investigated in this study. Solubilization was observed at surfactant concentrations lower than CMC, and the apparent solubility of hexadecane increased linearly with surfactant concentration for both surfactants. The ca...
متن کاملEffect of Rhamnolipid (Biosurfactant) Structure on Solubilization and Biodegradation of n-Alkanes.
A study to quantify the effect of rhamnolipid biosurfactant structure on the degradation of alkanes by a variety of Pseudomonas isolates was conducted. Two dirhamnolipids were studied, a methyl ester form (dR-Me) and an acid form (dR-A). These rhamnolipids have different properties with respect to interfacial tension, solubility, and charge. For example, the interfacial tension between hexadeca...
متن کاملSub-CMC solubilization of dodecane by rhamnolipid in saturated porous media
Experiments were conducted with a two-dimensional flow cell to examine the effect of monorhamnolipid surfactant at sub-CMC concentrations on solubilization of dodecane in porous media under dynamic flow conditions. Quartz sand was used as the porous medium and artificial groundwater was used as the background solution. The effectiveness of the monorhamnolipid was compared to that of SDBS, Trito...
متن کاملBiosurfactant Production by Bacillus salmalaya for Lubricating Oil Solubilization and Biodegradation
This study investigated the capability of a biosurfactant produced by a novel strain of Bacillus salmalaya to enhance the biodegradation rates and bioavailability of organic contaminants. The biosurfactant produced by cultured strain 139SI showed high physicochemical properties and surface activity in the selected medium. The biosurfactant exhibited a high emulsification index and a positive re...
