The adsorption behaviors of dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (C12TAB) and the catanionic mixtures of C12TAB with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDDS) and sodium dodecanoate (DAS) on quartz surface have been investigated. Physicochemical parameters such as the critical micelle concentration (CMC), surface tension, contact angle, adhesional tension and work of adhesion have...
In recent years, hybrid hydrogels have gained great attention as effective adsorbents due to their high water retention and low cost. This paper gives an overview of the principal results obtained during the treatment of water utilizing hybrid hydrogels for the removal of metal cations, radionuclides, dyes, anions and other miscellaneous pollutants from water. It is evident from the literature survey...
Adsorption of surfactants on solids is affected by the intermolecular packing in the adsorbed layer besides the driving forces. The adsorption behavior of a double-chain surfactant on silica is studied here along with that of the single-chain one. Comparison of adsorption of these two surfactants is warranted since while the single-chain surfactants form spherical micelles, the double-chain ones form...
Biosurfactants made by fermentation from renewable resources provide ''environmental friendly'' processes and products. A natural sophorolipid mixture was produced by the yeast Candida bombicola when cultured on glucose and oleic acid. The sophorolipid mixture was chemically modified to form the corresponding sophorolipid alkyl (methyl, ethyl, propyl, and butyl) esters by reaction with the corresponding...
