Surfactants and their mixtures can drastically change the interfacial properties and hence are used in many industrial processes such as dispersion/flocculation, flotation, emulsification, corrosion inhibition, cosmetics, drug delivery, chemical mechanical polishing, enhanced oil recovery, and nanolithography. A review of studies on adsorption of single surfactant as well as mixtures of various...

The speciation of diverse elements in salmon egg cell cytoplasm was performed by a surfactant-mediated HPLC/ICP-MS hyphenated system. In the present experiment, an ODS column coated with CHAPS (3-[(3-cholamidopropyl)dimethylammonio]-1-propanesulfonate), which is a zwitterionic bile acid derivative, was employed as a surfactant-mediated separation column, and ICP-MS was used as an element-select...

Abstract Polymer flooding and polymer/surfactant have achieved good efficiency in the application of conventional reservoir, but existed chemical technology cannot address issues requirements high salinity reservoir. Under condition due to increase calcium magnesium ions, increasing viscosity effect oil displacement system is lost. In order study feasibility applying nanomaterials field enhance...

Surfactants, or surface active agents, are used in many pharmaceutical, industrial, and environmental applications. Selection of the appropriate surfactant or mixture of surfactants for any given application is driven by the need to control bulk solution micellization and solubilization characteristics. The goal of this thesis has been to develop computer simulations and molecular-thermodynamic...
