Assessment of bimetallic Zn/Fe nanoparticles stabilized Tween-80 and rhamnolipid foams for the remediation of diesel contaminated clay soil.

Diesel contamination of soil due to oil spills, disposal of refinery waste, oil exploration constitutes a major environmental problem. This paper reports the remediation of diesel contaminated clay soil using Zn/Fe bimetallic nanoparticle stabilized Rhamnolipid (RMLP) and Tween-80 (TW-80) surfactant foams. Fe, and Zn (x wt%)/Fe (x = 0.
