Production of bioemulsifier by Serratia marcescens and its potential application in oily sludge washing remediation.
Oily sludge treatment remains a critical challenge in the petrochemical industry. Surfactants are widely used for oily sludge washing, but chemical surfactants induce secondary pollution, whereas bioemulsifiers (high-molecular-weight biosurfactants) enable eco-friendly treatment. However, their washing mechanisms remai...
