Increasing pollution from organic substances that are difficult to biodegrade has led scientists to search for solutions to prevent them from entering the environment. A type of pollutant widely found in the environment is quaternary ammonium compounds, with benzalkonium chlorides being the main representative. Among the benzalkonium chlorides class, was chosen to study the method of removal of benzyldimethyldodecylammonium chloride (C12-BAC) from wastewater. One efficient method for the removal of organic compounds from wastewater is by using adsorbent material. For this reason, this paper presents the treatment of wastewater containing benzyldimethyldodecylammonium chloride (C12-BAC) by activated carbon material.
