“…Anionic surfactants, a diverse class of chemicals, were designed to have cleaning, solubilization, or sterilization properties and widely used in household cleaning detergents, pesticide formulations, pharmaceuticals, and pulp and paper industries (Olmez‐Hanci, Arslan‐Alaton, & Basar, 2011; Rivera‐Utrilla, Bautista‐Toledo, Sánchez‐Polo, & Méndez‐Díaz, 2012). Concentrations of anionic surfactants reported in surface water and high nitrogen wastewater, such as the water in Dianchi Lake (in China) and washing water, were ranging between 2 and 300 mg/L (Jardak, Drogui, & Daghrir, 2016; Tamiazzo, Breschigliaro, Salvato, & Borin, 2015; Wang et al., 2015). The concentration of anionic surfactants in surface water (above 1 mg/L) could form bubbles and reduce the re‐oxygenation rate and oxygen concentration, resulting in deterioration of water quality (Delforno, Okada, Polizel, Sakamoto, & Varesche, 2012; Huang et al., 2012).…”
