Abstract
To make a process sustainable, it is often important to regenerate the adsorbent for reuse. One of the commonly used technique in this case is surfactant-enhanced regeneration which is inexpensive and low-energy intensive. This chapter presents a comprehensive study of this case, the surfactant regeneration process using different types of surfactants, including a simple theoretical model for the adsorbent regeneration.
