Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) on Mineralization of Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) using UV/H2O2

Methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) in aqueous solutions are commonly used for scrubbing of carbon dioxide from natural gas. Huge quantities of MDEA appear in the wastewater during cleaning and maintenance as well as shutdown of the absorption and desorption columns. The MDEA are not readily biodegradable a...
