This study aimed to investigate the simultaneous removal of methylparaben (MePB) and propylparaben (PrPB) from effluents (each one at 16 mg/L) using a nonionic micellar system containing Triton X-114. Response surface methodology (RSM) has been carried out. Extraction results using nonionic surfactant two-phase system were considered as a function of surfactant concentration and temperature variation. Four responses were investigated: MePB and PrPB extraction yield (E), solute (X s,w ) and surfactant (X sf,w ) concentrations in the aqueous phase and the volume fraction of micellar phase (ϕ C ) at equilibrium. Very high extraction efficiencies (99 % for PrPB and 84 % for MePB) were achieved at optimal conditions. Thereby, the amounts of PrPB and MePB were reduced 80 and 5 times, respectively. The extraction improvement using sodium sulfate was also shown. Finally, the solute stripping from micellar phase by pH change was proved.
