Gemini micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (GMEUF) process for the treatment of phenol wastewater

Comprehensive studies were carried on the micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration of phenol for the treatment of phenol wastewater with the help of cationic Gemini surfactant (CG) and Polyethersulfone (PES) flat sheet membranes of a molecular weight cut-off of 10kDa. The effects on the retention (phenol and surfactant), permeate flux and secondary resistance of various factors in the practical application of GMEUF were investigated including feed CG …
