Solubilization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by gemini-conventional mixed surfactant systems

Results from this study could be exploited for the use of surfactant mixtures for environmental remediation as the mixed surfactants are anticipated to improve the performance of surfactant-enhanced remediation of soils and sediments contaminated by hydrophobic organic compounds by decreasing the applied surfactant level for the needed solubility of the PAHs in aqueous solutions.
