Biosurfactants - Biodegradability, toxicity, efficiency in comparison with synthetic surfactants
2013
Biosurfactants are natural surface active agents produced by variety of bacteria yeast and fungi. A
review of their biodegradability, toxicity and efficiency is presented in order to compare their
properties with synthetic surfactants. Due to their high efficiency in many applications and
environmentally friendly character we tried to apply them in oil refining process. The efficiency of
biosurfactants in this application was very high and reached up to 99%.
