Producción y evaluación de un biosurfactante para la biorremediación de suelos contaminados con hidrocarburos

Abstract: Heavy crude oils are comprised of different fractions of asphaltenes, resins, aromatic and saturated compounds, which contribute to their high viscosities, making them intrinsically difficult to biodegrade. Besides, contaminated soils that contain limestone rocks are preferably oil wet, which makes their removal difficult. Biosurfactants are capable of modifying the wettability of rock/oil/water system and reduce interfacial tension, which promotes the release of oil, making it bioavailable. The objective of t… Show more
