This paper presents a tightly coupled experimental and kinetic approach for efficient remediation of oil spill from contaminated marine intertidal zone surface through a methodical strategy that deals with biosurfactant mediated washing strategy. The study deals with production, optimization and characterization of lipopeptide biosurfactant from Bacillus subtilis T1 and its application in remediation of oil contaminants from mimic model system of various marine intertidal zone i.e. woodland-Group1, saltmarsh-Group2, mangrove-Group3 and mudflats-Group4. Results demonstrates enhanced washing performance with oil desorption rate of 35 % in Group 4, 17.22 %, 15.6 % and 11 % in Group 3, 2 and 1 along with bio surfactant recovery rate of 41 %, 48.7 %, 51.71 % and 50.3 % respectively. Further, the washing strategy was efficient in soil detoxification with highest rate in Group 4. The kinetic validation depicts good match among experimental data and Lagergren pseudo second order data.
