Decontamination of water co-polluted by copper, toluene and tetrahydrofuran using lauric acid
Abstract Co-contamination by organic solvents (e.g., toluene and tetrahydrofuran) and metal ions (e.g., Cu2+) is common in industrial wastewater and in industrial sites. This manuscript describes the separation of THF from water in the absence of copper ions, as well as the treatment of water co-pol...
