Promoted solubilization and desorption of petroleum hydrocarbons to remediate contaminated soils using Pickering emulsions stabilized by cellulose nanocrystals

Surfactant-based treatment, particularly Pickering emulsion-based treatment, is becoming an attractive technique to remediate the globally concerned petroleum hydrocarbons-related soil pollution. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are promising natural materials to enhance the...
