The chemical reagents ‘NaCl+HCHO’ are often used as an extractant for EPS extraction due to the neutral pH. However, there is inadequate discussion of the reagent in the literature. In this study, an extraction process using ‘NaCl+HCHO’ was examined and optimized via an investigation of the relation...
