Simplified spectrophotometric method using methylene blue for determining anionic surfactants: applications to the study of primary biodegradation in aerobic screening tests.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present work, we propose a simplified spectrophotometric method for determining anionic surfactants, based on the formation of the ionic pair anionic surfactant-methylene blue (AS-MB). This method, in relation to the conventional analytic procedure, considerably reduces not only the quantity of chloroform used in extracting the ionic pair formed, but also the time and the quantity of sample necessary to perform the assay, eliminating the filtration stage. The method has been simplified by displacing the transfer equilibrium of the ionic pair AS-MB towards the organic phase, augmenting the volumetric relationship of chloroform/sample. The method proposed has been applied in the study of primary biodegradation kinetics of linear alkylbenzenesulfonate (LAS).

Continuous Flow Methylene Blue Active Substances Method for the Determination of Anionic Surfactants in River Water and Biodegradation Test Samples
Anionic surfactants are commonly determined with the use of the methylene blue active substances (MBAS) standard method, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, new methods for determination of anionic surfactants are needed. In this study, the standard MBAS method for determination of anionic surfactants was modified and adjusted to work in a continuous flow system combined wit...

The present paper has examined the degrading ability of phenol-oxidizing bacterium, Ralstonia eutropha, for biological removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions under aerobic conditions. Results show that MB has been extensively eliminated as a co-metabolism in the presence of supplementary carbon (glucose) and nitrogen (yeast extract and peptone) sources and the experimental observ...
