Abstract:

Surfactants are one kind of industrial additives with excellent properties, which have been widely used in industry, agriculture and daily life. However, due to the increasing usage amount and the improper disposal, a large amount of surfactants have been transferred into the water system, thus leading to a series of serious environmental problems. Herein, we have focused on the surfactant-containing wastewater. The sources, the composition characteristics, the harm to the environment, and the treatment technologies, have been introduced.

Key words: surfactant, wastewater, treatment technology
