Biobased wetting agents have multiple advantages, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1、 Environmentally friendly and renewable, bio based wetting agents use biomass resources as raw materials, which are widely present in nature and have renewability. Compared to traditional petroleum based wetting agents, bio based wetting agents can significantly reduce dependence on limited petroleum resources and lower environmental pressure during production and use. Meanwhile, bio based wetting agents are easy to biodegrade after use and will not cause long-term pollution to the environment, which is beneficial for ecological balance.

2、 Environmentally friendly, bio based wetting agents produce fewer harmful substances during production and use, and pose less harm to the environment and human health. For example, certain bio based wetting agents such as sophorolipids methyl ester and sophorolipids carboxylic acid have excellent wetting properties and biodegradability, and can be applied to treat iron sulfide containing compounds without causing environmental pollution problems. In addition, bio based wetting agents have broad application prospects in fields such as wastewater treatment and soil remediation, and can contribute to achieving green and sustainable development.

3、 Superior performance, bio based wetting agents are not inferior to traditional petroleum based wetting agents in terms of performance. For example, some biological based wetting agents, such as BPWP aerogel, have a porous structure and high hydrophobicity/super lipophilicity, can collect oil and organic liquids with high selectivity, and have strong adsorption capacity. In addition, bio based wetting agents also have good emulsifying, dispersing, and solubilization properties, which can meet the needs of different fields.

4、 Widely used, bio based wetting agents have broad application prospects in multiple fields. In the field of petrochemicals, bio based wetting agents can be applied to treat complex systems such as emulsified crude oil containing iron sulfides; In the field of environmental protection, bio based wetting agents can be used for wastewater treatment, soil remediation, etc; In the fields of personal care and cosmetics, bio based wetting agents can be used as mild surfactants; In the field of agriculture, bio based wetting agents can be used for water-saving irrigation and other applications.

5、 Sustainable development, the development of bio based wetting agents conforms to the concept of sustainable development. With the increasing global attention to environmental protection and sustainable development, bio based wetting agents, as an important component of green chemistry, will receive more and more attention and support. At the same time, the development of bio based wetting agents will also promote the green upgrading and transformation of related industrial chains, contributing to the sustainable development of the economy and society.

In summary, bio based wetting agents have advantages such as environmental protection, renewability, environmental friendliness, superior performance, wide application, and compliance with the concept of sustainable development. These advantages make biobased wetting agents have broad prospects and important strategic significance in future development.
