Abstract:This work evaluates the behavior of surfactant and alcohols in combination with a mixture of tributyltinchloride (TBT) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) with the goal of modifying the mixed oil from being a dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) to a light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL). Phase behavior of the mixed oil was studied under various combinations of surfactant, alcohol, and salinity. Phase density conversion was examined using pseudo-ternary phase diagrams constructed between the mixed oil, surfactant… Show more
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.
