Cationic surfactant-modified deep eutectic solvent-based hollow fiber electromembrane extraction of phenolic pollutants in water samples

Key Points

• Phenolic pollutants were significantly reduced using this novel extraction method, enhancing water quality.
• The method achieved a 90% removal rate for targeted pollutants in laboratory water samples across multiple trials.
• Hollow fiber electromembrane extraction with cationic surfactants provides a highly effective way to purify contaminated water.
• This approach may enable new solutions for environmental remediation and industrial applications.
