Optimization studies of BTX removal by magnetite coated oleic acid obtained from microwave-assisted synthesis using response surface methodology

Abstract Benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX) are volatile organic compounds released into the environment, that require urgent removal to avoid adverse health effects. In this work, the modelling and optimization of the preparation factors for magnetite coated oleic acid (MNP-OA) composite from microw...
