Les Detergents et le Traitement des Eaux Contaminees

Abstract

A study was made of the influence of surfactants in the treatment of contamined waters, both in the flocculation and in the ion flotation processes. Data are given on the effect ofvarying of the pH and theelectrostatic charge ofsuspended particles. Some flocculation value and volume reduction factors are given for various cationic and anionic detergents. A relationship was found between pH, intrinsic viscosity and efficiency of decontamination for 13'Cs in the ion flotation method.
