Identification and characterization of Fenton oxidation products of surfactants by electrospray mass spectrometry and solid phase microextraction gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. 3. Polyethoxylated fatty alcohols and nonylphenols

The Fenton reaction for the degradation of surfactants has been investigated and partial degradation products have been identified and characterized by LC and GC mass spectrometry for the case of polyethoxylated nonyl phenols and fatty alcohols with an average ethoxylation number of 7.
