Application of lignin from oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) in surfactant formulation
The use of surfactant in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) can help to increase oil production by lowering the interfacial tension at oil-water interfaces. However, the costs of surfactants derived from petroleum-based source are very expensive. In this study, lignin was extracted from black liquor obtain...
