Table 4 Periodicity d and to the correlation length ξ estimated using the Teubner and Strey model for different samples containing lauric acid (500 g/L) in either THF (100% THF) or THF-water mixtures (with 90% or 95% THF relative to water, v/v), at neutral and acidic pH.

From: Decontamination of water co-polluted by copper, toluene and tetrahydrofuran using lauric acid
