Abstract

To assess the remediation possibility of groundwater contaminated with MTBE, micellar solubilization by various surfactants was evaluated. Micellar solubilization is basic phenomena to apply micellar enhanced ultrafiltration for groundwater remediation contaminated with MTBE. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) shows the best removal efficiency among various nonionic, cationic and anionic surfactants. Molar ratio of SDS to MTBE was the most important factor for removal of MTBE using micellar solubilization. With the ratio of more than 13, the removal efficiency was saturated to 55%.
