Among the surfactants used for removal of radioactive nuclides generated from nuclear decontamination, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) is frequently used. A potential environmental problem of incomplete elimination of SDBS from radioactive liquid wastes (RLWs), which contain a high concentration of SDBS and radioactive nuclides, still remains. Removal of SDBS was evaluated by adsorption using commercially available, macroporous polymer-based adsorbents, HP20 and HP2MGL, which are styrene (St)- and methyl methacrylate (MMA)-based crosslinked resin beads, respectively. The effect of the macroporosity and chemical structure of the macroporous adsorbent resins (MARs) on the adsorption behavior was investigated. HP20 did not have any functionality for adsorbing SDBS, but it showed effective adsorption toward SDBS (less than 20 min to reach 90% adsorption), because of the hydrophobic interaction between the phenyl groups in the St unit in HP20 and in the SDBS. The removal of SDBS from a mixed solution of SDBS and Cs ions was investigated to elucidate the adsorption process in an imitation of the sort of RLWs. This investigation suggests that MARs can potentially be used for the removal of SDBS not only from a SDBS solution but also from a mixed solution of SDBS and Cs ions.

Thin-film composite (TFC) membrane has been extensively utilized and investigated for its excellent properties. Herein, we have constructed an active layer (AL) containing cave-like structures utilizing large meniscus interface. Furthermore, the impact of interface structure on the growth process, morphology, and effective surface area of AL has been fully explored with the assistance of sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS).

To effectively utilize sesbania gum in coal dust control and address the limitations of excessive viscosity and mediocre strength, oxidation treatment was used to improve its fluidity. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium trimetaphosphite (STMP) were used to enhance oxidized sesbania gum OSG, and crosslinking technology was used to improve its mechanical stability. This study developed a novel foam dust suppressant OSG-PVA/SDBS by response surface design, and the optimized dust suppressant material exhibited excellent adhesion and curing properties.

Conductive hydrogels are utilized in flexible sensors due to their high-water content, excellent elasticity, and shape controllability. However, the sharp increase in resistance of this material under enormous strain leads to instability in the sensing process. This study presents a straightforward method for creating a stable, recyclable, hybrid ionic-electronic conductive (HIEC) hydrogel via a simple one-pot strategy using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), bagasse cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), and graphene(G) with sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS).

After many years of mining in the Fang2 block of the Songfangtun oilfield, the conventional water drive development method can no longer meet the requirement of greatly improving the recovery rate, and ternary composite drive (TCD) technology is adopted for this purpose. TCD is one of the most important methods to further improve crude oil recovery, and it has entered the industrialization and promotion stage, but there are still problems of fouling in the injection and extraction system and high production and maintenance costs. In order to reduce formation damage and improve recovery in the Songfangtun oilfield, an alkali-free microemulsion system was developed by replacing the weak base sodium carbonate with sodium chloride, but its emulsification capacity was weak and the recovery enhancement value was lower than that of the weak base TCD.

In the present study, the effectiveness of two surfactants (Polysorbate 80 - Tween 80 and Sodium Dodecyl Benzensulphonate - SDBS) was investigated for the remediation of a hydrocarbon-contaminated soil. Moreover, it was elucidated the impact of surfactants on soil phosphorus (P) availability and phytotoxic effect on the growth of Vicia Faba L. An experimental laboratory-scale apparatus (bench and pilot scale) was set up for the simulation of a soil flushing intervention.
