Solubilization isotherms of MTBE in various surfactant solutions for application of micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF)
Abstract
Solubilization isotherms for methyl tort-butyl ether (MTBE) in sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS), dowfax 8390, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) were investigated for application to micellar enhanced remediation. Dowfax 8390 showed maximum extent of solubilization among surfactants tested in this study. It seems that sulfate group in anionic surfactants playes a important role in solublization of MTBE. Chemical shiftes in NMR of surfactant and MTBE supports this point.
