Occurrence of Surface Active Agents in the Environment

Occurrence of Surface Active Agents in the Environment

Due to the specific structure of surfactants molecules they are applied in different areas of human activity (industry, household). After using and discharging from wastewater treatment plants as effluent stream, surface active agents (SAAs) are emitted to various elements of the environment (atmosphere, waters, and solid phases), where they can undergo numerous physic-chemical processes (e.g.,...

the study of bright and surface discrete cavity solitons dynamics in saturable nonlinear media

امروزه سالیتون ها بعنوان امواج جایگزیده ای که تحت شرایط خاص بدون تغییر شکل در محیط منتشر می-شوند، زمینه مطالعات گسترده ای در حوزه اپتیک غیرخطی هستند. در این راستا توجه به پدیده پراش گسسته، که بعنوان عامل پهن شدگی باریکه نوری در آرایه ای از موجبرهای جفت شده، ظاهر می گردد، ضروری است، زیرا سالیتون های گسسته از خنثی شدن پراش گسسته در این سیستم ها بوسیله عوامل غیرخطی بوجود می آیند. گسستگی سیستم عامل...

INTERACTION OF DNA WITH THE FOLDED AND UNFOLDED HISTONE HI IN THE PRESENCE OF SURFACE ACTIVE AGENTS

Interaction between DNA and histone H, was investigated in the presence and absence of sodium-n-dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) at temperatures of 27 and 37?C, in 2.5 mM phosphate buffer, pH 6.4 by UV spectrophotometry, equilibriumdialysis and titration. The presence of 1.33 mM SDS caused histone H to fold and to further contact DNA. Binding data were use...

Surfactants - Surface Active Agents

The definition for a detergent is a cleaning agent. The main cleaning agent used in earlier days was soap. This term means a compound formed from the reaction of a fatty acid with a base such as caustic soda, forming the sodium soap of the acid. The more commonly used cleaning agent in this day and age is the synthetic detergent (SYNDET) which is a formulation such as TIDE or FAB. The essential...
