Fly ash based geopolymer for the adsorption of cationic and nonionic surfactants from aqueous solution � A feasibility study
The discharge of wastewaters containing surfactants and other pollutants from industries is contaminating the world's water resources which needs remediation. This paper describes the adsorption of cationic and nonionic surfactants cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and Triton X-100 (TX-100)...
