Abstract

Immobilization isotherms for methyl tort-buty1 ether (MTBE) in sodium dodecy1 sulfate(SDS) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) were investigated for application to micellar enhanced remediation. Headspace solid-phase microextraction was used to analyze immobilization isotherms. Maximum partitioning coefficients of MTBE were 48 L/mol and 9 L/mol for SDS and CPC, respectively, The values decreased gradually as the MTBE mole fraction in the micelles increased.
