In order to efficiently remove phenolics from coal chemical wastewater, this study utilizes molecular simulation to determine the most effective extractant. And the extraction effect is verified through simulation results. The energy of hydrogen bonding dominates the extractant’s extraction ability. The interaction between phenols the and solvent was examined using molecular simulation calculations, and it was discovered that the strong H-bond interaction between the CYC/1-PA synergistic extractant and phenols produces outstanding extraction effects. The results of the full process simulation validation showed that the CYC/1-PA synergistic extractant could properly treat the wastewater.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
