Keywords: biosurfactants, rhamnolipids, oil-contaminated soils, washing, environmentally friendly cleaning, biodegradability, bioavailability, low toxicity

Annotation:

The authors of the article present research on the characterization and application of biosurfactants for washing oil-contaminated soils. The effectiveness of various types of biosurfactants used for washing oil-contaminated soils is analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of biosurfactants compared to synthetic surfactants are discussed. It is shown that the use of biosurfactants is an effective and environmentally clean alternative method of oil-contaminated soils remediation. The potential for using biosurfactants in addressing soil oil contamination problems is highlighted.
