Table 3 1H NMR analysis of the water-rich separated layer, obtained starting from 30% v/v THF-70% v/v DI water mixtures, and either 0.125 M or 1 M lauric acid.
From: Decontamination of water co-polluted by copper, toluene and tetrahydrofuran using lauric acid
Sample pH | THF in water layer (% v/v) | water in water layer (% v/v) |
|---|---|---|
Acidic, 0.125 M | 24.2 ± 0.4 | 75.8 ± 0.4 |
Acidic, 1 M | 13.4 ± 0.6 | 86.6 ± 0.6 |
Circum-neutral, 0.125 M | 24.2 ± 0.4 | 75.8 ± 0.4 |
Circum-neutral, 1 M | 13.6 ± 0.2 | 86.4 ± 0.2 |
Basic, 0.125 M | 24.5 ± 0.5 | 75.5 ± 0.2 |
Basic, 1 M | 14.0 ± 0.1 | 86.0 ± 0.1 |
