两亲无规聚合物的聚集行为及其与非离子表面活性剂的相互作用

以2-丙烯酰胺基-十二烷基磺酸(AMC12S)与2-丙烯酰胺基-2-甲基丙磺酸(AMPS)进行无规共聚,合成了含AMC12S摩尔分数(X)较高(X=0.1,0.3,0.5)的一系列两亲聚合物.采用稳态荧光及动态光散射技术对聚合物在水溶液中的聚集行为及其与三种非离子表面活性剂(HO(CH2CH2O)10C12H25(C12E10)、HO(CH2CH2O)20C12H25(C12E20)和HO(CH2CH2O)40C12H25(C12E40))的相互作用进行了研究,并考察了X对聚集行为的影响以及表面活性剂亲水基团长度对相互作用的影响.随着X的增大,聚合物的临界聚集浓度(CAC)明显减小,X=0.5时聚合物的CAC低达0.0039g·L-1.聚集体的流体力学半径(Rh)都大于26nm,并随着聚合物浓度的升高而增大,说明聚合物分子主要以分子间的聚集方式聚集,形成多分子聚集体.随X的增大,聚集体Rh减小,同时Rh随聚合物浓度升高而增大的幅度减小,说明聚集体结构变得更加紧实.表面活性剂与聚合物之间存在很强的相互作用,在混合溶液中表面活性剂浓度达到临界胶束浓度(CMC)左右时聚合物聚集体开始解离,形成混合聚集体.亲水基团长度增长,表面活性剂对聚合物聚集体的解离能力随之增强.C12E40与X=0.5的聚合物形成的混合聚集体Rh为6.8nm,与C12E40自身形成的聚集体尺寸相当.     

含Gemini表面活性剂结构单元的新型两亲聚电解质的合成及聚集行为

分别将Gemini型单体1,3-双(二甲基十四烷基溴化铵)-2-丙烯酰氧基丙烷(14G)或1,3-双(二甲基十六烷基溴化铵)-2-丙烯酰氧基丙烷(16G)与丙烯酰氧乙基三甲基氯化铵(DAC, D)共聚合反应, 合成了新型含Gemini表面活性剂结构单元的两亲性阳离子聚电解质(D14G和D16G). 采用稳态荧光、电导、动态光散射及透射电镜等手段研究了这些聚电解质在水溶液中的聚集行为. 结果表明, 临界聚集浓度(CAC)随着Gemini型表面活性剂单元含量的增加而减小, 同时随着Gemini型表面活性剂单元中疏水碳链长度的增加而降低. 这些聚电解质在水溶液中同时存在分子内和分子间两种类型的聚集体, 而且碳链越长, 形成分子内聚集体的倾向越强. 随着Gemini表面活性剂单元含量的增加, D14G溶液中聚集体的流体动力学半径(Rh)也有所增大, 而D16G溶液中的聚集体的流体动力学半径(Rh) 却略有减小.     

正负离子和表面活性剂对水解聚丙烯酰胺分子线团尺寸的影响及其作用机理

采用动态光散射(DLS)方法,研究了无机电解质正离子与负离子对部分水解聚丙烯酰胺(HPAM)分子线团尺寸的影响,也研究了阴离子型表面活性剂与非离子型表面活性剂对HPAM分子线团尺寸的影响.结果表明,无机电解质负离子对HPAM分子尺寸(分子流体力学直径(Dh))影响较小,而无机电解质正离子对Dh的影响较大,且影响程度随正离子浓度增大而减小.Ca2+、Mg2+、K+和Na+对Dh的作用强弱顺序为Mg2+>Ca2+>Na+>K+.当向聚合物溶液中加入阴离子型表面活性剂时,随表面活性剂浓度增大,Dh先减小,后增大,再减小.此外,由于强烈的静电斥力作用,阴离子型表面活性剂分子在聚合物分子表面吸附较弱,难形成"表面活性剂-聚合物"络合物,而非离子型表面活性剂会以类似于胶束聚集体的形式吸附在聚合物分子链上,形成"表面活性剂-聚合物"络合物,结果造成Dh随表面活性剂浓度增加而逐渐增大.     

动态光散射研究盐对Gemini表面活性剂网状聚集体的影响

以动态光散射为主要手段研究了盐对羧酸盐Gemini表面活性剂O,O′-双(2-月桂酸钠)-p-二苯氧(记为C12φ2C12)自组织的影响.结果表明盐的加入很容易使C12φ2C12的网状聚集体转变为小(流体力学半径Rh,app约几纳米)和大(Rh,app100 nm)两种尺寸共存的聚集体,1,6-二苯基-1,3,5-己三烯(DPH)探针增溶实验证实小尺寸聚集体为核-壳结构的似球胶束,流变学测量说明大尺寸聚集体可能已经是线型的核-壳胶束.这种行为被归结为初始的网状聚集体不稳定,添加的反离子与C12φ2C12头基结合破坏了网状结构的亲水亲油平衡,促使了它们的转变.盐效应规律表现为MgCl2NaCl、Bu4NBrMe4NBrEt4NBrPr4NBr,这里Bu4NBr不遵循上述静电力顺序的原因是它提供了携带的丁基与C12φ2C12烷烃链疏水相互作用的附加力.

新型疏水缔合聚合物P(AM/POEA)与表面活性剂的相互作用

采用粘度法、荧光探针和透射电镜研究了新型疏水缔合聚合物P(AM/POEA)和表面活性剂SDS和CTAB在水溶液中的相互作用. 聚合物P(AM/POEA)结构中, 疏水体(2-苯氧乙基丙烯酸酯)呈嵌段状无序地分布在聚丙烯酰胺主链上. 这类聚合物很容易和表面活性剂相互作用, 通过疏水缔合, 形成混合胶束状聚集体, 导致溶液粘度剧增. 随聚合物溶液中SDS的加入, 溶液粘度发生大幅度起伏变化, 出现最大值. 粘度最大值对应的表面活性剂浓度c_S,max位于表面活性剂CMC附近, 并发现它的位置不随聚合物微结构而变化. 然而它们缔合作用的增粘程度却与聚合物疏水体含量X_H及疏水嵌段尺寸N_H有关. 在实验浓度范围内, X_H和N_H愈大, 溶液的粘度越高. 此外用透射电镜直接观察到聚合物/表面活性剂体系中聚集体的交联结构形貌.

Manipulation of Shell Morphology of Silicate Spheres from Structural Evolution in a Purely Inorganic System

We have investigated the structural transformation of solid silica spheres into various more complex spherical structures including flower‐like, thick or thin nanosheet‐shelled and porous shelled spheres. In the absence of organic additives, sodium salts contained in this inorganic reaction system apparently direct the silica dissolution and regrowth of dissolved silicate at the nanometer‐scale, leading to the formation of a nanosheet network rather than solid aggregates. Subsequent removal of the salts by simple water washing results in voids in the siloxane network and a significant availability of surface silanol groups so that the resulting nanosheets and spheres composed of them possess large surface areas, pore volumes, and morphological flexibility, which can be varied by an applied stimulus. The results represent a rare example of the transformation of a simple silicate structure into a much more complex spherical structure involving a purely inorganic reaction system.     

Studies in Detergency: Influence of Different Factors for Removing Motor Oil Stain from the Cotton Fabric

The ability of surfactants to remove a organic soil from the cotton fabric has been investigated using various parameters such as temperature and hardness of water. The surfactants such as alkylpolyglucosides (APG), sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), and alpha olefin sulphonate (AOS) have been taken to formulate the detergent as such and in mixtures to evaluate the detergency performance to remove motor oil from the 100% cotton fabric. In the past, the detergency of nonionic APG surfactants has not been well studied. The behavior of commercial APG surfactants and mixtures of APGs with other common surface cleaning agents (SLS & AOS) in laundry applications has been investigated. Motor oil is the toughest soil to remove as it contains nonpolar organic compounds. The performance of detergency was evaluated at different temperatures (30°C, 45°C, and 60°C) and in the presence of hard water (40, 100, and 300 ppm).     

Surfactants treatment of crude oil contaminated soils

This study reports experimental measurements investigating the ability of a biological (rhamnolipid) and a synthetic (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS) surfactant to remove the North Sea Ekofisk crude oil from various soils with different particle size fractions under varying washing conditions. The washing parameters and ranges tested were as follows: temperature (5 to 50 degrees C), time (5 to 20 min), shaking speed (80 to 200 strokes/min), volume (5 to 20 cm3), and surfactant concentration (0.004 to 5 mass%). The contaminated soils were prepared in the laboratory by mixing crude oil and soils using a rotating cylindrical mixer. Two contamination cases were considered: (1) weathered contamination was simulated by keeping freshly contaminated soils in a fan assisted oven at 50 degrees C for 14 days, mimicking the weathering effect in a natural hot environment, and (2) nonweathered contamination which was not subjected to the oven treatment. The surfactants were found to have considerable potential in removing crude oil from different contaminated soils and the results were comparable with those reported in literature for petroleum hydrocarbons. The removal of crude oil with either rhamnolipid or SDS was within the repeatability range of +/-6%. The most influential parameters on oil removal were surfactant concentration and washing temperature. The soil cation exchange capacity and pH also influenced the removal of crude oil from the individual soils. However, due to the binding of crude oil to soil during weathering, low crude oil removal was achieved with the weathered contaminated soil samples.     

Solution behavior of aerosol ot/water/oil system

The phase diagrams of water-cyclohexane containing 5, 10, and 20 wt% sodium 1,2-bis(2-ethylhexyloxycarbonyl)-1-ethanesulfonate (Aerosol OT, AOT) as a function of temperature were studied. There is the water phase in which AOT is dissolved and a large amount of oil is solubilized at higher temperature, and the oil phase in which AOT is dissolved and a large amount of water is solubilized at lower temperature. It is evident from the phase behavior that the hydrophile-lipophile property of AOT is well balanced. Accordingly, the phase diagram and properties of AOT solution are affected rather sensitively by the addition of a small amount of hydrophilic or lipophilic additive or by temperature. Careful elimination of inorganic salts also influences markedly the solution properties of AOT. Thus, the addition or removal of known amounts of inorganic salts, such as Na₂SO₄ is also very important to control the solution properties related to practical applications. In this context phase diagrams of both carefully purified and commercial AOT with or without additives have been determined.     

烷基聚葡糖苷溶液的表面吸附平衡与动力学

Decontamination of oil-polluted soil by cloud point extraction

An extraction procedure based on cloud point phase separation of nonionic surfactants was used to remove oil contamination from soils. The detergent employed was Triton X-114, and its clouding behavior was monitored by means of a fluorescence probe. Changes in the I (1)I (3) ratio of pyrene indicated gradual dehydration of the detergent micelles upon heating. The rate of phase separation, and the volume and water content of the micellar phase were determined. In the practical clean-up, 85-98% of the oil present in the soil was found to enter the micellar phase of the separated washing liquid. A 15-min washing time with 3-5% detergent was found to be sufficient for this degree of contaminant removal from soil containing 0.009-0.017% oil, using a liquid:solid ratio of 5:2. The extraction efficiency decreased with increasing carbon content of the soil. The process holds promise for large-scale treatment of oil-polluted soils.

Benzohydrazide Derivatives: Gelation and Application in Oil Spill Recovery

The synthesis and gelation properties of a series of organogelators containing a benzohydrazide unit and two alkoxy chains(oBn) were reported herein. oBn(n=8, 10, 12) could form stable gels in commercial fuels(e.g., diesel), which were characterized by low critical gelation concentrations(CGCs) and good mechanical properties (G'>10⁵ Pa). The gelation process was further studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and X-ray diffraction(XRD), etc. It was demonstrated that in these organogels, molecules self-assembled into fibrils 3D-network, where hydrogen bonding, van der Waals force and π-π interaction were confirmed as the driving forces. As compounds oBn(n=8, 10, 12) show very good gelation properties in diesel, their applications in oil spill treatment have also been tested. It was found that oBn could achieve rapid (<30 s) and effective oil removal at room temperature, being good candidates for oil spill treatment in the future. Also, the removal efficiency could be as high as 95%.     

Oil recovery performances of surfactant solutions by capillary imbibition

Critical parameters playing a role in oil recovery by capillary imbibition of surfactant solutions were studied. Experiments conducted on sandstone and carbonate samples using different oil and surfactant types were evaluated for surfactant selection. In this evaluation interfacial tension (IFT), surfactant type, solubility characteristics of surfactants, rock type, initial water (pre-wet rock), and surfactant concentration were considered. In addition to these, a new technique was adopted to facilitate the surfactant screening process. This technique is based on assigning inorganic and organic property values and plotting organic conception diagrams (OCD) for surfactants. OCD defines the property of a compound in terms of physical chemistry in such a way that the property that depends much on the van der Waals force is called "organic" and the one that depends much on electric affinity is called "inorganic." Correlations between the capillary imbibition recovery performance and the properties of surfactant and oil (organic value (OV), inorganic value (IV), and IFT of surfactant solutions, oil viscosity, and surfactant type) were obtained. These correlations are expected to be useful in selecting the proper surfactant for improved oil recovery as well as identifying the effects of surfactant properties on the capillary imbibition performance.
