Abstract: | A cationic surfactant-selective electrode for sensitive analysis of cationic surfactants has been developed by using a plasticized
poly (vinyl chloride) membrane based on a hydrophobic cation exchanger, sodium tetrakis (3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl) borate.
The electrode shows a Nernstian response to dodecyltrimethylammonium (DTA) ion in the concentration range from 8 × 10−7 M to 10−2 M with a slope of 55.3 ± 2.0 mV/decade. The electrode was used over a wide pH range of pH 2–12. The electrode is excellently
selective for the DTA ion over inorganic anions, but interferences of other cationic surfactants such as cetylpyridinium ion
and tetradecyldimethylbenzylammonium ion (zephiramine) are great.
The present electrode was applied to determine total cationic surfactants in commercial disinfectants.
