Abstract

Feasibility of micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration for the mixed waste that is consisted of chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, nitrate, and chromate was investigated using a cationic surfactant. The co-presence of nitrate and chromate did not significantly affect the removal of chlorobenzenes, and the co-presence of chlorobenzenes did not affect the removal of nitrate and chromate because chlorobenzenes were solubilized at the hydrophobic interior of the micelles by hydrophobic interaction, but nitrate and chromate were bound to the outer shell by electrostatic interaction. Micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration can be applied to treat the mixed wastes.
