- The coal industry is increasingly exploring microbial applications as sustainable alternatives to traditional methods for coal mining and processing, addressing environmental and economic challenges.
- Microbial-based techniques like coal solubilization and beneficiation leverage surfactants to enhance efficiency and ecologically sound practices in coal fuel production.
- Surfactants play a critical role in improving coal biodegradation and processing, acting as agents that modify surface tension and support microbial growth, thus promoting cleaner coal consumption.
