Removal efficiencies values according to regression analysis
| Contaminant | Surfactant type | Regression equation |
|---|---|---|
| Ortha and Para cresol | SDS | RE = −6.8 + 110.5 SDSC +3.9 pH |
| Ortha and Para cresol | Triton-X 100 | RE = 15.3 + 112.0 TXC +2.1 pH |
| Metha cresol | SDS | RE = 5.5 + 103.9 SDSC + 3.7 pH |
| Metha cresol | Triton-X 100 | RE = 13.8 + 110.7 TXC + 2.1 pH |
Abbreviation: RE = Removal Efficiency; SDSC = SDS Concentration; TXC = Triton-X 100 Concentration.
