Main Results:

  • Incomplete phase separation was observed, with surfactant-rich and aqueous phases containing residual dye and surfactant globules.
  • The surfactant-rich phase was generally more heterogeneous than the aqueous phase.
  • Effective recovery of Direct Yellow was achieved in the presence of sodium chloride (NaCl), with distribution coefficients reaching several hundred.
  • Optimal conditions allowed for 98-99.9% dye removal in a single step.

Conclusions:

  • Cloud point separation is a viable method for Direct Yellow dye removal.
  • Electrolyte addition, particularly NaCl, significantly enhances the efficiency of dye recovery.
  • This method shows potential for environmental remediation and preliminary steps in biochemical recovery.
