Mixed Adsorption Layers of Nonionic and Cationic Surfactants on Quartz

Surfactant adsorption on quartz and wetting of glass by aqueous solutions of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, Triton X-100, and their mixtures are studied. It is shown that synergistic adsorption of surfactants from mixed solutions occurs in the region of low concentrations. In the region of high concentrations, mixed molecular aggregates of the cationic and nonionic surfactants are formed on the surface. The structure of the mixed adsorption layers is discussed.     

LC Separation of Co-Existing Cetylpyridinium Chloride, Tetradecyltrimethylammonium Bromide and Dodecyltrimethylammonium Bromide on Silica TLC Plates with Aqueous-Organic Eluents

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) of three cationic surfactants was performed on silica TLC plates with various solvent systems. The mutual separation of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) was achieved on silica TLC plates with ethanol: 1% aqueous ammonium chloride (4:6, v/v) as an eluent. Effects of cations and anions in the mobile phase on mobility and separation of CPC, TTAB and DTAB were examined. The interference due to the presence of metal cations as impurities on the resolution in the mixture of CPC, TTAB and DTAB was also examined. The limits of detection of CPC, TTAB and DTAB estimated were 0.015, 0.031 and 0.062 μg zone⁻¹, respectively. The developed method was utilized to identify these surfactants in different spiked water samples after their preliminary separation.     

Micellization and Interaction Properties of Aqueous Solutions of Mixed Cationic and Nonionic Surfactants

The micellization process of binary surfactant mixtures containing cationic surfactants viz. dodecyl pyridinium halide (C₁₂PyX; X=Cl, Br, I), tetradecyl pyridium bromide (C₁₄PyBr), and hexadecyl pyridium halide (C₁₆PyX; X=Cl, Br) and a nonionic surfactants viz. dodecyl nonapolyethylene glycol ether (C₁₂E₉), dodecyl decapolyethylene glycol ether (C₁₂E₁₀), dodecyl dodecapolyethylene glycol ether (C₁₂E₁₂), and dodecyl pentadecapolyethylene glycol ether (C₁₂E₁₅) in water at different mole fractions (0–1) were studied by surface tension method. The composition of mixed micelles and the interaction parameter, β evaluated from the CMC data obtained by surface tension for different systems using Rubingh's theory were discussed. Activity coefficient (f₁ and f₂) of cationic surfactant (C_nPyBr)/C₁₂E_m (n=12, 14, 16 and m=10, 12, 15) mixed surfactant systems were evaluated, which shows extent of ideality of individual surfactant in mixed system. The stability factors for mixed micelles were also discussed by Maeda's approach, which was justified on the basis of steric factor due to difference in head group of nonionic surfactant.

Self-Aggregation of Cationic Dimeric and Anionic Monomeric Surfactants with Nonionic Surfactant in Aqueous Medium

Spectrofluorometric measurements have been used to elaborate the self-aggregation of mixture of anioinic, sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS), and cationic gemini, alkanediyl-α, ω-bis (tetradecyldimethylammonium bromide) (14-4-14) with nonionic surfactant, polyoxyethylene 10 cetyl ether (Brij-56). The critical micelle concentration (cmc) of the binary mixtures has been investigated. Application of the regular solution theory (RST) to the experimental data yield the interaction parameter at mixed micelles (β), indicate an attractive interaction and reflect the synergistic behavior in both Brij-56/SDBS and Brij-56/14-4-14 systems. The micelle aggregation number (N _agg) was measured using a steady state fluorescence quenching method. The N _agg values of the mixed surfactant system were larger than those of pure components. The micropolarity of various combinations and the binding constants (K _sv) were determined from the ratio of intensity of peaks (I ₁/I ₃) of pyrene fluorescence emission spectrum and its quenching, respectively.

Volumetric Studies on Aqueous Solutions of Dodecyltrimethylammonium Bromide and 1-Dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium Bromide

The densities of aqueous solutions of mixed surfactants of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide and 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (DTAB/C₁₂mimBr) were measured at various compositions. The concentration dependent apparent molar volumes of these mixed surfactants were calculated and used to deduce the critical micelle concentrations (cmc) and the apparent molar volumes in the micelles and the continuous phase. The one-parameter Margules equation was applied to correlate the composition dependent cmc values and to obtain the activity coefficients and mole fractions of these surfactants in the mixed micelles, which were further used to calculate the excess Gibbs energies and the excess volumes. It was found that the excess Gibbs energies and the excess volumes of the mixed micelles are all negative, indicating that these mixed micelles are more stable and packed more tightly than their corresponding pure micelles.     

The Removal of Particles from Oils by Nonionic Surfactants

The separation of particulate material from a dispersion of particles in an oil can be effected by transport of the particles through the bounding oil interface in a process mediated by surfactant. When the oil phase containing particles is contacted with an aqueous phase, the transport process through the interface is resisted by a capillary force which depends on the interfacial tension and on the contact angle for the three-phase system. It is shown how the addition of a judiciously-chosen nonionic surfactant to a model system of carbon particles in n-alkanes can bring about near-complete transfer of the particles to the aqueous phase. The underlying mechanisms for the transport process are discussed. Some implications for systems of practical importance are discussed.     

Quantitative Determination of Cationic and Nonionic Surfactants in Aqueous Solutions of Their Mixtures by Capillary Zone Electrophoresis

A method based on capillary zone electrophoresis is developed for a quantitative determination of cationic (dodecylpyridinium bromide) and nonionic (Triton X-100) surfactants absorbing in the UV region. The effect of the pH and ionic strength of the solution on the output time and shape of the resultant peaks is studied, and the optimal conditions of the analysis are determined. For both surfactants, the analytical signal (the area of the peak on the electrophoregram) is found to linearly depend on the concentration. It is established that the presence of a second surface-active component does not affect the signal of the surfactant analyzed; thus, surfactants may be quantitatively determined in both individual and mixed solutions. The method of capillary zone electrophoresis is shown to be applicable for determining the CMCs of surfactants.     

Universal Janus Filters for the Rapid Separation of Oil from Emulsions Stabilized by Ionic or Nonionic Surfactants

Existing Janus filters cannot separate oil from emulsions stabilized by nonionic surfactants. Reported herein are universal Janus filters that separate oil from emulsions stabilized by not only ionic but also nonionic surfactants. To prepare such a filter, poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) is grafted onto one side of a fabric. The other side is then grafted with a copolymer polysoap bearing pendant oligo(ethylene glycol) monolaurate (EL) chains. Upon contact with an emulsion, the grafted polysoap competes with free surfactants, ionic or nonionic, for adsorption onto the emulsified droplets, drawing them to the surfaces of the fabric fibers, and causes them to coalesce locally. The coalesced oil then migrates to the PDMS‐coated side of the fabric and selectively permeates it. These novel filters possess enhanced versatility and showcase a new application for polysoaps.     

Effects of Nonionic, Cationic, and Mixed Nonionic-Cationic Surfactants on the Acid-Base Behavior of Phenyl Salicylate

The effects of Brij 35 micelles, CTABr micelles, and mixed Brij 35–CTABr micelles on the acid–base behavior of phenyl salicylate (PST) have been studied in aqueous solution containing 2% v/v acetonitrile. The apparent pK_b (pK^app_b) of PST is decreased by 1.5 pK units with the increase in [Brij 35] from 0 to 0.02 M which is attributed to micellar medium effect. The values of pK^app_b remain almost independent of [CTABr] within its range 0.01–0.03 M. The increase in [CTABr] from 0 to 0.03 M in aqueous solution containing 0.02 M Brij 35 has not resulted in a change in pK^app_b. This shows that the characeristic structural features of nonionic Brij 35 micelles remain essentially unchanged on addition of CTABr under the present experimental conditions.

Synthesis and Properties of Nonionic Surfactants from Rosin-Imides Maleic Anhydride Adduct

Ester-adduct derivatives of rosin were synthesized by reacting rosin with polyethylene glycol 600 (PEG 600) or 2000 (PEG2000) and maleic anhydride (MA) at elevated temperature. These derivatives were evaluated for acid number, FTIR spectroscopy, molecular weight (Mw), and polydispersity. The derivatives were soluble in organic solvents; aqueous solubility was pH dependent. Rosin-imides were synthesized from a rosin ester-maleic anhydride adducts. It was condensed with diaminobutane or triethylene tetramine to obtain rosinimides. This imide was etherified by reaction with PEG in the presence of β,β′-dichlorodiethyl ether as a linking agent and NaOH as a catalyst. The surface properties of the prepared surfactants were determined by measuring the surface tension at different temperatures. The surface tension, critical micelle concentration and surface activities were determined at different temperatures. Surface parameters such as surface excess concentration (Γmax), the area per molecule at interface (Amin), and the effectiveness of surface tension reduction (πCMC) were determined from the adsorption isotherms of the prepared surfactants. Some thermodynamic data for the adsorption process were calculated and are discussed.
