Surfactant-enhanced aquifer remediation (SEAR) has attracted increasing interest in recent years as a highly efficient means to remove NAPLs from aquifers. A comprehensive review of the SEAR technology was conducted based on recent research advances. The review includes an overview of the basic processes and mechanisms underlying the technology, applications of SEAR, the factors that influence the technology's performance, and recent advances in modifying SEAR to overcome the limitations.
