WEF Publishes New WWT State of Science on Alkylphenols & Ethoxylates – July 31, 2007

The Water Environment Federation (WEF) just published a monograph titled, "Wastewater Treatment of Alkylphenols and Their Ethoxylates: A State of the Science Review" by Henryk Melcer, Gary Klecka, Hugh Monteith and Charles Staples (Order No. P07012, ISBN 978-1-57278-237-2).

Alkylphenol ethoxylates have been important surfactants for more than 50 years. These compounds have been the subject of considerable regulatory attention, primarily due to concerns about their aquatic toxicity. This new monograph reviews and summarizes the state of the science on the removal of alkylphenols and their ethoxylates in wastewater treatment systems, and provides guidance on strategies for optimizing and sustaining the performance of wastewater treatment plants.

The review is available from WEF on its Market Place website.
