Abstract: | The evaporation path in a microemulsion base of water, sodium dodecylsulfate, and pentanol was extended to include the subsequent precipitation stage caused by the restriction of the surfactant solubility. The results revealed the surfactant to be the only compound to precipitate during the evaporation/precipitation stage; the relative content of the two volatile compounds in the liquid phase was adjusted to the required level by the evaporation. |
