Computer simulation of adsorption kinetics of surfactants on solid surfaces

Adsorption kinetics of surfactants on solid surfaces has been studied by using computer simulation. Both bulk surfactant concentration and diffusion region are explicitly integrated in our model. Depending on the head-surface interaction, our simulation results indicate that there exist two different kinetic modes in adsorption process of surfactants on solid surfaces. One is the four-regime mode and the other is step-wise mode. For the strongly attractive head-surface interaction, four distinct regimes of surfactant adsorption are found: a diffusion-controlled regime, a self-assembly controlled regime, an intermediate coverage regime and a saturated regime. In particular, the adsorption in second regime displays a power-law time dependence with an exponent unrelated to bulk concentrations and diffusion coefficients. While for the weaker adsorption surfaces, the step-wise mode is found. The mode includes a low-coverage nucleation regime and the saturated regime after a sudden aggregation of surfactants on the substrates which occurs stochastically. Besides the head-surface interaction, in this work, the effects of surfactant diffusivity, bulk concentration, the length of diffusion zone and surfactant architecture on the adsorption kinetics are also considered. The simulated adsorption kinetics is compared qualitatively with experimental results.     

Isolation and partial characterization of a biosurfactant mixture produced by Sphingobacterium sp. isolated from soil

The concentration decay curves for the adsorption of phenol on organobentonite were obtained in an agitated tank batch adsorber. The experimental adsorption rate data were interpreted with diffusional models as well as first-order, second-order and Langmuir kinetic models. The surface diffusion model adjusted the data quite well, revealing that the overall rate of adsorption was controlled by surface diffusion. Furthermore, the surface diffusion coefficient increased raising the mass of phenol adsorbed at equilibrium and was independent of the particle diameter in the range 0.042-0.0126 cm. It was demonstrated that the overall rate of adsorption was essentially not affected by the external mass transfer. The second-order and the Langmuir kinetic models fitted the experimental data quite well; however, the kinetic constants of both models varied without any physical meaning while increasing the particle size and the mass of phenol adsorbed at equilibrium.     

Kinetic models applied to erbium adsorption on activated charcoal from aqueous solutions

The adsorption of erbium (Er) ions on activated charcoal (AC) is investigated at temperatures 10–40 °C from aqueous solutions to understand the kinetics behavior. The intra-particle diffusion, the pseudo-first order kinetic and pseudo-second order kinetic models were used to describe the kinetic data. Results shows that the adsorption of Er ions on AC occurs in two stages and the surface adsorption and diffusion phenomena are operative in the adsorption process. The result also reveals that intra-particle diffusion is not only the main rate determining step through out the adsorption process, but the boundary layer diffusion also play significant role in rate determination. Values of the intra-particle diffusion rate constant and the extent of the boundary layer diffusion were calculated. A comparison of the kinetics models on the overall adsorption rate indicates that the Er/AC system is best described by the pseudo-second order kinetic model than the pseudo-first order model, and the overall rate of the Er ions adsorption on AC appears to be controlled by more than one step, i.e., external mass transfer and diffusion mechanism.     

Adsorption of alpha-chymotrypsin onto mica in laminar flow conditions. Adsorption kinetic constant as a function of tris buffer concentration at pH 8.6

We examined the adsorption kinetics of alpha-chymotrypsin (pH 8.6, 10(-2) to 0.5 M Tris buffer) on muscovite mica in conditions of laminar flow through a slit. The range of buffer concentrations is between two limits: (i) no adsorption in 1 M Tris and (ii) no desorption in 10(-3) M Tris. Studying the dependence of adsorption kinetics on the wall shear rate leads to the determination of the interfacial adsorption kinetic constant ka and the diffusion coefficient. The obtained value for the diffusion coefficient is close to the one expected from the molecular size of alpha-chymotrypsin. The interfacial adsorption kinetic constant of alpha-chymotrypsin decreases when ionic strength increases, while the initial desorption constant (over a part of all the adsorbed population) shows the contrary. Although alpha-chymotrypsin is almost at its isoelectric point, the effect of ionic strength on the adsorption kinetics suggests the importance of electrostatic interactions between the protein and mica. We observed an increase in the adsorption rate, at a surface coverage near 0.14 microg cm(-2), for adsorption in 10(-2) M Tris and the low wall shear rates (<300 s(-1)). This change in the adsorption rate suggests a structural transition, that we assume again to be due to electrostatic interactions, but between proteins. The large dipole moment of the protein may induce this transition, illustrated here by the ferroelectric/antiferroelectric pattern. The variation of the zeta potential with interfacial concentration seems to be in agreement with such a model.     

Adsorption study of an industrial dye by an organic clay

In this study, the adsorption of an industrial dye Supranol Yellow 4GL onto Cetyltrimethylammonium-bentonite (CTAB-bentonite) is investigated. The organobentonite is synthesised by exchanging cetyltrimethylammonium cations (CTAB) with inorganic ions on the surface of bentonite. The adsorption of Supranol Yellow 4GL onto organobentonite is found to be maximum when the concentration of CTAB exchanged is 100% according to the cation exchange capacity of the clay (CEC). The modification of organobentonite is examined using XRD and FTIR techniques. The effect of the process parameters such as: contact time, adsorbate concentration, adsorbent dose, pH and temperature are reported. Nearly 1200 seconds of contact time are found to be sufficient for the adsorption to reach equilibrium. The pseudo second order model is used to describe the kinetic data, and the rate constant is therefore evaluated. The dye adsorption to organobentonite is characterized by monolayer isotherm and caused by adsorption with relatively strong uptake. The Langmuir and Freundlich models adsorption are applied to describe the isotherm equilibrium and to determine its constants. The Langmuir and Freundlich models agree well with the experimental data with a adsorption capacity of 0.5 g of dye per g of organobentonite. A better fixation was obtained at acidic pH. The effect of temperature on the adsorption of dye has been also studied and the thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔS, ΔG, were determined. Organobentonite is found to be effective for removing Supranol Yellow 4GL dye from wastewater.     

A Nonlinear Rupture Theory of Thin Liquid Films with Soluble Surfactant

The effects of soluble surfactant on the dynamic rupture of thin liquid films are investigated. A nonlinear coupling evolution equation is used to simulate the motion of thin liquid films on free surfaces. A generalized Frumkin model is adopted to simulate the adsorption/desorption kinetics of the soluble surfactant between the surface and the bulk phases. Numerical simulation results show that the liquid film system with soluble surfactant is more unstable than that with insoluble surfactant. Moreover, a generalized Frumkin model is substituted for the Langmuir model to predict the instability of liquid film with soluble surfactant. A numerical calculation using the generalized Frumkin model shows that the surfactant solubility increases as the values of parameters of absorption/desorption rate constant (J), activation energy desorption (nu(d)), and bulk diffusion constant (D(1)) increase, which consequently causes the film system to become unstable. The surfactant solubility decreases as the rate of equilibrium (lambda) and interaction among molecules (K) are increased, which therefore stabilizes the film system. On the other hand, an increase of relative surface concentration (the index of a power law), beta(n), will initially result in a decrease of corresponding shear drag force as beta and n increase from 0 to 0.3 and 0.85, respectively. This will enhance the Marangoni effect. However, a further increase of beta and n to greater than 0.3 and 0.85, respectively, will conversely result in an increase of the corresponding shear drag force. This will weaken the Marangoni effect and thus result in a reduction of interfacial stability. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

Kinetics and Equilibria of Synthesized Anionic Surfactant onto Berea Sandstone

We present static adsorption studies of anionic surfactants on crushed Berea sandstone. The maximum adsorption density was 0.9604 mg/g. The kinetics of adsorption process was modeled using pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order rate equations at 25°C and 70°C. The equilibrium adsorption process was validated using Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models. In addition, the effects of different parameters that govern the effectiveness of these surfactants such as pH and temperature were also investigated. The kinetic study results show that the surfactant adsorption is a time dependent process. The apparent rate constant of adsorption process determined by the first-order kinetic model at 25°C and 70°C were 0.11768 and ?0.04513, respectively. The rate constant for pseudo-second-order kinetic model was 0.0086 at 25°C and 0.0101 at 70°C. The adsorption of anionic surfactant followed pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The Freundlich and Langmuir model constant were 1.6509 × 10^?4 and ?9.775 × 10^?5, respectively. The equilibrium results showed that the adsorption of anionic surfactant onto Berea sandstone was well described by Langmuir adsorption model. It was concluded that anionic surfactants performed better at higher pH and temperature.      

The interaction of an azo compound with a surfactant and ion pair adsorption to solid phases

The adsorption of SPADNS (trisodium salt of 2-(p-sulfophenylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid) onto resins XAD 2, XAD 7 and silica gel was studied in the presence and in the absence of the cationic surfactant CTAB (cetyl trimethylammonium bromide). At a ratio of 2.5 CTAB to 1 SPADNS, the surfactant caused a marked increase in SPADNS adsorption. The experimental results for adsorption versus time were applied on the basis of three kinetic models (pseudo-first-order Lagergren, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion). The interaction between CTAB and SPADNS was investigated using spectrophotometric, conductometric, and computational techniques. Theoretical results point to the formation of an ion pair between CTAB and SPADNS that influences the solution spectra, in agreement with conductometric and spectrophotometric data.     

Polymer surfactant kinetics using surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride/polyacrylic acid system

Kinetics of polymer surfactant interactions and the effect of surfactant binding on the conformational dynamics of the polymer were explored in this work using surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy. Polyacrylic acid was modified with thiol to varying degrees so as to force the polymer to form different loop sizes upon adsorption on the gold SPR sensor surface. Dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride in solution was flowed over the polymer-coated sensor surface and the binding was followed in real time. It was found that control of the loop size of the polymer on the solid surface enabled in turn the control of surfactant binding, with the largest loop allowing the maximum amount of surfactant to bind and vice versa. The kinetic plot of the binding showed three distinct segments. The first segment followed convective-diffusive kinetics. The second and third segments followed first-order kinetics with the second rate being significantly faster than the first one. Careful analysis of the second segment showed that it is possible to divide it into two different segments, each following a first-order kinetics, with the second rate being slightly slower than the first one suggesting a gradual slow down of the reaction due to convolution from the polymer conformational changes. Mechanistically, the sudden increase in the rate for the third segment of surfactant binding implies that the polymer matrix is opening up so as to incorporate more surfactant molecules. This was attributed to the formation of charged double surfactant species the repulsive interaction of which prevented the polymer network from imploding. Studies using unmodified polymers suggested the possibility of sudden conformational rearrangement in the polymer network, with progress in surfactant binding. Furthermore, the reflectance of the SPR spectrum was found to increase upon surfactant binding, implying that there is a decreased efficiency of coupling of the incident radiation into the surface plasmon mode of the metal, which suggests that the surfactant actually penetrated the polymer matrix.
