Dynamic behaviour of the floating water droplet with hydrocarbon degrading becateria on oil surfaces

This study verified the influence of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria on the floating water droplet to explore a safer treatment method for oil spillages. The experimental and numerical verifications confirmed that bacteria can affect the floatation of a water droplet by producing surfactants and biof...
