Oil leakage, which is inevitable in the process of extraction, processing, transportation and storage, seriously undermines the soil and groundwater environment. Surfactants can facilitate the migration and solution of oil contaminants from nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) or solid phase to water by r...
