Column experiments and mathematical modeling results demonstrated that rhamnolipid biosurfactant can enhance the stability and mobility of iron oxide nanoparticles in water-saturated quartz sand.
Iron oxide nanoparticles were stabilized in water using the biosurfactant rhamnolipid, and the adsorption of U(vi) to these nanoparticles was measured and modeled as a function of water chemistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
