In this batch study, montmorillonite was modified by a cationic surfactant [hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMA-MMT)] and used as sorbent to remove bromocresol green (BCG) from aqueous solutions. The effect of several factors such as surfactant loading rate onto the clay, contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage, dye concentration, and ion strength were investigated on the sorption. The equilib...

     A simple and sensitive extractive spectrophotometric method is described for determination of tropicamide. The method is based on the reaction of tropicamide and bromocresol green. The ion-paired colored complex was extracted with chloroform at pH 3. The extracted complex showed maximum absorbance at 423 nm. The complex was stable up to 2 days and obeyed Beer's law over the concentration r...

a cloud point extraction process using the nonionic surfactant triton x-114 to extracturanium from aqueous solutions was investigated. the method is based on the complexationreaction of uranium with arsenazo iii and micelle-mediated extraction of the complex. theoptimal extraction and reaction conditions (e.g., ph, reagent concentration, effect of time) werestudied, and the analytical character...

Physico-chemical studies of some aqueous surfactant solutions were carried out by employing conductance, surface tension and spectrofluorometric techniques. From conductivity and surface tension measurements, critical micelle concentration (CMC), counter-ion association (α), equivalent conductance at infinite dilution (٨0), surface excess concentration (Γ), minimum area per molecule (Amin), sur...

Surfactant films on solid surfaces have attracted much attention because of their scientific interest and applications, such as surface treatment agent, or for micro- or nano-scale templates for microfluidic devices. In this study, anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solutions with various charged inorganic salts was spread on a glass substrate and dried to form an SDS thin film. At...

In this study, two different non-ionic surfactants have been evaluated as a plasticizer in lithium polymer electrolytes and compared with an organic carbonate-based plasticizer. To that end, molecular weight structure selected (Triton� X-100 Brij�L23) carbonates (EC:DEC1:1) plasticizers electrolytes. The effect of the content, salt content surfactant characteristics on properties such ionic con...

There is a growing demand for the separation and identification of short nucleic acid fragments, such as oligonucleotides. There were two main goals of the present investigation, namely, evaluation of the impact of stationary phase type and the influence of various ion-pair reagents on the retention behavior of oligonucleotides in ion-pair liquid chromatography. Three types of ion-pair reagents...

One of the tertiary methods for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is the injection of chemicals into oil reservoirs, and surface active agents (surfactants) are among the most used chemicals. Surfactants lead to increased oil production by decreasing interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and the injected water and to the wettability alteration of the oil reservoir rock. Since surfactants are predomin...

A novel counter-ion, N-methylimipramine, was synthesized and utilized in the separation of inositol phosphates by ion-pair chromatography. The structural identity of the counter-ion was documented by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. This counter-ion was capable of resolving inositol phosphates isocratically by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Solvent polarity and i...
