Abstract

Methods for removing surfactants from polar solids are described herein. In particular, various embodiments described herein relate to the removal of surfactants from polar solids that involves contacting a surfactant-containing porous polar solid with an extraction agent comprising water, a salt, and, optionally, a polar organic compound. In certain embodiments described herein, the extraction agents are used to remove surfactants from a mesoporous zeolite.
