AB  - Comprehensive studies were conducted on the phenol wastewater ultrafiltration 
      (UF) with the help of various concentrations of cationic Gemini surfactant 
      (N1-dodecyl-N1,N1,N2,N2-tetramethyl-N2-octylethane-1,2-diaminium bromide, CG), 
      conventional cationic surfactant (dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, DTAB), 
      anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS) and nonionic surfactant 
      ((dodecyloxy)polyethoxyethanol, Brij35). A flat sheet module with 
      polyethersulfone (PES) membrane was employed in this investigation. The effects 
      of feed concentration (phenol and surfactant) on the retention of phenol and 
      surfactant, permeate flux and membrane fouling by micelles were evaluated. The 
      distribution coefficient (D), the loading of the micelles (L(m)) and the 
      equilibrium distribution constant (K) were also utilized to estimate the 
      micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration ability for phenol. Scanning electron 
      microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer with attenuated total 
      reflectance accessory (ATR-FTIR) and mercury porosimeter were applied to analyze 
      membrane surface morphology, membrane material characteristics and membrane 
      fouling for the original and fouled membranes. Based on the above analysis, the 
      performance of the selected Gemini surfactant was proved superior in the 
      following aspects: retention of phenol/surfactant (peak value is 95.8% for phenol 
      retention), permeate flux and membrane fouling with respect to other conventional 
      surfactants possessing equal alkyl chain length. These results demonstrated that 
      CG surfactant with exceptional structure has favorable prospects in the treatment 
      of phenol wastewater by the micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration.
