Monoethanolamine (MEA) wastewater treatment using Photo-Fenton oxidation

Monoalkanolamine (MEA) is useful for scrubbing acidic gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) in flue gas from oil and gas industries. However, small portion of MEA is carried out during the process and being discharged into the wastewater. The organic properties of MEA make it resilience to the conventi...
