Biosurfactants: Promising Molecules for Petroleum Biotechnology Advances
The growing global demand for sustainable technologies that improves the efficiency of petrochemical processes in the oil industry has driven advances in petroleum biotechnology in recent years. Petroleum industry uses substantial amounts of petrochemical-based synthetic surfactants in its activities as mobilizing agents to increase the availability or recovery of hydrocarbons as well as many o...
متن کاملBiosurfactants: Production and Applications
Great emphasis has recently been given to the environmental impacts caused by chemical surfactants due to their toxicity and difficulty in being degraded in the environment [1]. Increasing environmental concerns, the advance in biotechnology and the emergence of more stringent laws have led to biosurfactants being a potential alternative to the chemical surfac‐ tants available on the market [2,...
متن کاملExtreme catalysts from low-temperature environments.
Cold-loving or psychrophilic organisms are widely distributed in nature as a large part of the earth's surface is at temperatures around 0 degrees C. To maintain metabolic rates and to prosper in cold environments, these extremophilic organisms have developed a vast array of adaptations. One main adaptive strategy developed in order to cope with the reduction of chemical reaction rates induced ...
متن کاملBiotechnology and Green Chemistry
White biotechnology can be regarded as applied biocatalysis, with enzymes and microorganisms, aiming at industrial production of bulk and fine chemicals to food and animal feed additives. In its turn biocatalysis has many attractive features in the context of greenchemistry: mild reaction conditions (physiological pH and temperature); environmentally compatible catalysts and solvent (often wate...
متن کاملGreen Method for Synthesizing Gallium Nitride Nanostructures at Low Temperature
Gallium nitride (GaN) nanostructures (NS) were synthesized using pulseddirect current plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PDC-PECVD) on quartzsubstrate at low temperature (600°C). Gallium metal (Ga) and nitrogen (N) plasma wereused as precursors. The morphology and structure of the grown GaN NS werecharacterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), transmissionelectro...
