Waste management of a microemulsion using elevated temperatures

International Journal of Environment and Pollution (IJEP), Vol. 23, No. 1, 2005

Abstract: Elevated temperatures reduced NAPL-saturated fraction of a treated SPME waste effluent. As temperature increased, aqueous fraction of the separated SPME increased to 0.96 at 90°C. Composite volume samples had optimal separation at 75°C, where >95% of NAPL mass partitioned into the organic phase; while in first pore volume samples, it decreased with increasing temperature after 70°C. Increasing temperature of composite volume samples increased surfactant partitioning into the organic phase; in first pore volume samples, it was evenly divided into both phases. Increased temperatures reduced COD of aqueous phases >75%. Overall, elevated temperatures reduced volume of NAPL-saturated solution by 96%.
