it encircles organic substances or molecules till useful microorganisms,protozoa,bacteria can not digest the organic waste
I'm encountering with surfactants from detergents used for
washing machine and they're damaging most of all microorganisms that
i raised on plastic medias in the treatment tank
with some chemical components in it ,just in 30 days, they seem to kill all my foster microorganisms and the waste water is worst as the treatment plant failed.
if anyone know how to fight with this surfactant please recommend at

PS: first sign i observed that the attached film of organisms started stripping off the media.

Why does oil miscible in solution of surf and water?
Presumably you mean surfactant and water? A classic surfactant molecule has a polar, hydrophilic end and a non-polar hydrocarbon liophilic end. With enough of a suitable surfactant, oil droplets will form with the liophilic part of surfactant molecules dissolved in the droplets and water molecules attached to the hydrophilic part of the surfactant. The oil disperses in the water.
What interferes with hydrogen bonding between water molecules?
A surfactant.
Wetting agent that interferes with hydrogen bonding in water?
surfactant
Why is surfactant important in alveoli?
Surfactant reduces the surface tension within in your lungs, your alveoli have a wet surface and if surfactant were not present they would stick together causing a difficulty in expanding your thoracic cavity-so you wouldn't be able to breath without surfactant.
What are solid shampoos?
Basically it is detergent (surfactant/soap) but without water or with very little water.
The role of surfactant in relation to water?
Surfactant is used in the lungs to break water tension within the alveoli. Without it, the alveoli will collapse and you will suffocate and die.

The lipophilic tail of a surfactant molecule is considered to be?
Water loving

What describes the role of surfactant in the respiratory system?
Surfactant helps reduce surface tension within the alveoli, thus preventing each alveolus from callapsing as air moves in and out during respiration.

What role does science have with your water?
we toss waste in the rivers science has taught us better methods to remove the waste before we drink it. economics and law teach us how to create more waste and how to hide the waste
Suspensions can be wetted before adding water by using a wetting agent or a?
surfactant
Can you emulsifier instead of surfactant?
Emulsion two types.1.Oil in water 2.water in oil.-- both will increases their viscosity. surfactant meant : De-emulsification which is quite opposite to emulsifier agent.surfactant decrease viscosity.
What do surfactant do?
A surface-active agent 'surfactant' usually cleans something. ie -soap is a surfactant.
