Abstract

A method for treating an MTBE-contaminated aqueous solution includes forming an adsorbent by treating fly ash with nitric acid and then doping the resultant acid-treated fly ash particles with AgNO3 and calcining. The adsorbent is used to contact an MTBE-contaminated aqueous solution to adsorb the MTBE and the adsorbent and to form a purified aqueous phase which is then separated from the adsorbent.
