It was found that three silicate minerals all exhibited good floatability with Gemini cationic surfactants as collectors over a wide pH range, while BDDA showed a stronger collecting power than EDDA. FTIR spectra and zeta potential analysis indicated that the mechanism of adsorption of Gemini collector molecules on three silicate minerals surfaces was almost identical for the electronic attraction and hydrogen bonds effect. The theoretically obtained results of density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/6-31G (d) level demonstrated the stronger collecting power of BDDA presented in the floatation test and zeta potential measurement.展开更多

Their critical micelle concentrations (CMC), which are 1.8×10-4 mol/L and 3.9×10-4 mol/L respectively, are much lower than that of conventional surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC).

The red Au nanoparticles with a size of 10 nm exhibit a resonance absorption peak and a resonance scattering peak all at 525 nm. After some inorganic electrolyte was added to a red Au nanoparticles solution, the color of the solution became blue and the absorbance at (600_700) nm was significantly increased. The ratio of the concentration of monovalent cations, at which the resonance scattering of the system at 525 nm is maximal to that of divalent cations, is in the range of 100∶1_100∶1.8. It is in good agreement with the Schulze-Hardy rule of the coagulation value of electrolyte. After adding some cationic surfactants to the above solution, the color of the solution is in deep blue, with two resonance absorption peaks at 550 and 680 nm, and a greatly enhanced resonance scattering peak at 525 nm. The experiments demonstrate that the stronger the hydrophobicity of the cationic surfactant is, the stronger the change color effect of the Au nanoparticle solution promoted by cationic surfactant is. The change color effect of Au nanoparticle solution is resulted from the increased diameter of Au nanoparticles, and the changes of resonance absorption peak and resonance scattering.展开更多

All the adsorption isotherms fitted the Freundlich equation well, and the HDTMA treatment of paddy soil dramatically enhanced adsorption capacity of metsulfuron or bensulfuron. Also, an increase of ionic strength and the addition of divalent heavy metal cation Cu^2+ on the HDTMA-modified paddy soil increased the adsorption of metsulfuron or bensulfuron. Additionally, for metsulfuron and bensulfuron in the aqueous phase, adsorption capacity of the HDTMA-modified paddy soft gradually increased with decreasing pH.展开更多

In this article, zirconia nanocrystallites of different structures have been successfully synthesized via hydrothermal methods with cationic surfactant (CTAB) and anionic surfactant (SDS), respectively. Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC-TG), X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-vis) and N2 adsorption-desorption analyses are used for their structure characteristics. The results show that the cationic surfactant has a distinctive direction effect on the formation of zirconia nanocrystallites, while the anionic surfactant has a self-assembly synergistic effect on them. The sample synthesized with the cationic surfactant presents good dispersion with the main phase of tetragonal zirconia, and the average nanocrystal size is around 15 nm after calcination at 500 ℃. While the sample synthesized with the anionic surfactant exhibits a worm-like mesoporous structure with pure tetragonal phase after calcination at 500 ℃ and with good thermal stability.展开更多

An ATPS is formed in a narrow region of the ternary phase diagram different from that of traditional aqueous cationic-anionic surfactant systems. In ATPS region, the lowest total concentration of surfactants varies with the mixing ratio of geminis to SDS. Photographs obtained from freeze-etching, negative-staining and transmission electron microscopy show that the microstructures of two phases are different from each other. Micelles and vesicles can coexist in a single phase. The addition of salts can change the phase diagram of ATPS. Furthermore, the added salts promote the aggregation of rod-like micelles to form coarse network structure that increase the viscosity of solutions. The negative ions of the added salts are the determining factor.展开更多

Three silicate minerals with the Gemini surfactant as collector reveal floatability far better than with the corresponding traditional one. At pH 6,the best recoveries of illite,pyrophyllite and kaolinite with 3.5×10-4 mol/L 12-4-12 are 99.2%,91.7% and 99.6%,respectively. The fluorescence and contact angle measurement were also conducted for the further investigation of surfactants aggregation behavior and silicate mineral surface hydrophobic properties. FTIR spectra analysis and electrokinetic analysis show that the mechanism of adsorption of collector molecules on mineral surfaces is almost identical for the electronic attraction and hydrogen bonds effect. The superior collecting power of dimeric collector may be attributed primarily to its special structure and its essential properties.展开更多

The apparent viscosity of 18-4( OH)-18-4( OH)-18 solution affected by inorganic salt, hydrotropic salt and their mixtures is investigated using steady state measurements. Meanwhile, the temperature and shear resistances of systems of 18-4( OH)-18-4( OH)-18 and several common single-chain surfactants are compared. The rheological experiments show that, the coexistence of NaSal and NaC1 makes it easier for the system to promote micellar growth yielding wormlike micelles than single NaSal or NaC1. The apparent vis- cosity of 18-4(OH) -18-4(OH) -18 solution maintains over 87. 5 mPa-s above 100 22. The results indi- cate that there exists a synergistic effect in solutions of 18-4 ( OH ) -18-4 ( OH ) -18 trimeric surfactant展开更多

Interaction energies are -0.2378 kJ·mol-1, -3.3394kJ·mol-1 and 0.1204kJ·mol-1 for the molecular pairs with fluocarbon and hydrocarbon chain: C4H10/C5H12, C4F10/C5H12, and C4F10 /C5F12, respectively. When hydrophilic group with cationic and anionicions is introduced, interaction energies are -287.40kJ·mol-1, -311.18kJ·mol-1 and -345.83kJ·mol-1. The results show that there is strong static interaction between cationic and anionic surfactants. It has been predicted that mixed monolayer may be formed and surface activity is enhanced favorably, especially for mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants with fluocarbon and hydrocarbon chains. The anionic surfactants, sodium octadecylbenzenesulfonate perfluopolyetherbenzenesulonate(ANF-I) was synthesized, mixture effects of ANF-I with sodium octadecylbenzenesulfonate or dodecyldimethyl benzylammonium bromide were studied. The results indicate that the efficiency of mixing increased and the theoretical prediction was testified. These results can provide useful information for the design of new surfactants.展开更多

The effects of molar ratio of CDAAC/trans-ACA, time of UV and visible light irradiation and temperature on the rheological properties of micellar system were investigated. The results show that before UV irradiation the system with an optimum CDAAC/trans-ACA molar ratio of 1.4 forms viscoelastic micelles at 45 ℃. After 365 nm UV irradiation, the viscos- ities of micelle systems with different concentrations at fixed molar ratio of 1.4 are decreased by 85%-95%. The CDAAC/trans-ACA (14 mmol. L- 1/10 mmol. L- 1 ) micelle system exhibits shear thinning property and its viscos- ity is decreased obviously with the increases of UV irradiation time less than I h. The rheological process during LIV irradiation for CDAAC/trans-ACA (14 mmol- L- 1/10 mmol. L 1) micelle proves that viscosity, elastic modulus G' and viscous modulus G" will reduce quickly with the UV light. Furthermore, the micelle system after 1 h UV- irradiation is able to revert to its initial high viscosity with 460 nm visible light irradiation for 4 h, and the micelle can be cycled between low and high viscosity states by repetitive UV and visible light irradiations. The LIV-Vis spectra of CDAAC/trans-ACA micelle indicate that its photosensitive theological properties are related closely to photoisomerization of trans-ACA to c/s-ACA.展开更多

Co^2+ was found the most suitable impregnant for the mutual separation of nonionic surfactants (Brij-35 and Brij-57) and cationic from nonionic surfactants (tetmdecyltrimethylammonium bromide and Cween-20). Zinc sulphate impregnation (Zn^2+-silica gel) shows identical chromatographic behavior and these layers are useful to separate nonionic surfactant (Brij-35) from cationic surfaetant (cetylpyridinium chloride). The mutual separation of B J-35 and B J-57 is not influenced by the presence of optical brightener in the sample.展开更多

Attapulgite is a clay mineral that has many applications, especially in agriculture and industry. It has not been studied extensively compared with other clay minerals for its sorption properties in environmental applications. In the present work the adsorption capacity of CTMA on attapulgite was found that was high and was mostly due to ion exchange mechanism. Furthermore, the experimental data fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm.展开更多

文摘The inhibition of ligninase by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of cationic surfactant CTAB was studied by kinetic spectrophotometric technique. Results showed that addition of CTAB enhanced the inhibition by H2O2, but it did not alter the inhibition pattern and the inhibition constant changed little with the concentration of CTAB. Modification of the enzymic protein by the surfactant monomer may be responsible for the above mentioned results.

文摘Recently, more and more interest has been focused on zirconia for its unique characteristics. In this paper, via the preceding preparation technique, yttrium can be successfully incorporated into nano-zirconia by a cationic surfactant-assisted route. The methods of XRD, TEM, EDS, Uv-vis and N2 adsorption-desorption are adopted to characterize the synthesized samples. The results show that the yttrium has been successfully incorporated into the zirconia lattice, and the thermal stability of yttrium doped zirconia has been enhanced remarkably.
文摘The effect of cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on the gelation of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) by Cr (III) was investigated by using rheological measurements. The results indicated that the CTAB concentration has a pronounced effect on the viscoelastic properties of the gelling system.
文摘A viscoelastic system formed by the solutions of di(2-hydroxyl-dimethylene ether)-α,ω, y-triple ( dimethyloctadecylammonium chlorine ) ( 18-4 ( OH ) -18-4 ( OH ) -18 ) is proposed to solve the problems of poor temperature and shear resistances of clean fracturing fluid. The apparent viscosity of 18-4( OH)-18-4( OH)-18 solution affected by inorganic salt, hydrotropic salt and their mixtures is investigated using steady state measurements. Meanwhile, the temperature and shear resistances of systems of 18-4( OH)-18-4( OH)-18 and several common single-chain surfactants are compared. The rheological experiments show that, the coexistence of NaSal and NaC1 makes it easier for the system to promote micellar growth yielding wormlike micelles than single NaSal or NaC1. The apparent vis- cosity of 18-4(OH) -18-4(OH) -18 solution maintains over 87. 5 mPa-s above 100 22. The results indi- cate that there exists a synergistic effect in solutions of 18-4 ( OH ) -18-4 ( OH ) -18 trimeric surfactant

文摘The drag-reducing characteristics of a cationic surfactant solution flow in copper pipe have been investigated experimentally.The tested drag-reducing fluid was an aqueous solution of the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride(CTAC).The experimental results show that the maximum drag reduction percentage reduces with the increase of fluid temperature at low concentration of CTAC,such as 100×10-6 or 150×10-6.Furthermore,the concentration and temperature changes of CTAC solution have significant influences on the drag-reducing ability.The drag-reducing effect of CTAC additives shows great potentials in the application in a district heating/cooling(DHC)system,especially for the radiant floor heating(RFH)system.
文摘Typical cationic and anionic surfactants were chosen and their interactions were calculated by quantum chemical method. Interaction energies are -0.2378 kJ·mol-1, -3.3394kJ·mol-1 and 0.1204kJ·mol-1 for the molecular pairs with fluocarbon and hydrocarbon chain: C4H10/C5H12, C4F10/C5H12, and C4F10 /C5F12, respectively. When hydrophilic group with cationic and anionicions is introduced, interaction energies are -287.40kJ·mol-1, -311.18kJ·mol-1 and -345.83kJ·mol-1. The results show that there is strong static interaction between cationic and anionic surfactants. It has been predicted that mixed monolayer may be formed and surface activity is enhanced favorably, especially for mixtures of cationic and anionic surfactants with fluocarbon and hydrocarbon chains. The anionic surfactants, sodium octadecylbenzenesulfonate perfluopolyetherbenzenesulonate(ANF-I) was synthesized, mixture effects of ANF-I with sodium octadecylbenzenesulfonate or dodecyldimethyl benzylammonium bromide were studied. The results indicate that the efficiency of mixing increased and the theoretical prediction was testified. These results can provide useful information for the design of new surfactants.

文摘A photorheologically reversible micelle composed of polymerizable cationic surfactant n-cetyl dimethylallyl am- monium chloride (CDAAC) and trans-4-phenylazo benzoic acid (trans-ACA) was prepared. The effects of molar ratio of CDAAC/trans-ACA, time of UV and visible light irradiation and temperature on the rheological properties of micellar system were investigated. The results show that before UV irradiation the system with an optimum CDAAC/trans-ACA molar ratio of 1.4 forms viscoelastic micelles at 45 ℃. After 365 nm UV irradiation, the viscos- ities of micelle systems with different concentrations at fixed molar ratio of 1.4 are decreased by 85%-95%. The CDAAC/trans-ACA (14 mmol. L- 1/10 mmol. L- 1 ) micelle system exhibits shear thinning property and its viscos- ity is decreased obviously with the increases of UV irradiation time less than I h. The rheological process during LIV irradiation for CDAAC/trans-ACA (14 mmol- L- 1/10 mmol. L 1) micelle proves that viscosity, elastic modulus G' and viscous modulus G" will reduce quickly with the UV light. Furthermore, the micelle system after 1 h UV- irradiation is able to revert to its initial high viscosity with 460 nm visible light irradiation for 4 h, and the micelle can be cycled between low and high viscosity states by repetitive UV and visible light irradiations. The LIV-Vis spectra of CDAAC/trans-ACA micelle indicate that its photosensitive theological properties are related closely to photoisomerization of trans-ACA to c/s-ACA.
文摘Silica gel impregnated with 1% aqueous solutions of different metal cations (Li^+, Mg^2+, Zn^2+, Cu^2+, Co^2+, Ni^2+, Ba^2+and Th^4+) has been used for the analysis of nonionic and cationic surfaetants using simple aqueous acetone as mobile phase system. Co^2+ was found the most suitable impregnant for the mutual separation of nonionic surfactants (Brij-35 and Brij-57) and cationic from nonionic surfactants (tetmdecyltrimethylammonium bromide and Cween-20). Zinc sulphate impregnation (Zn^2+-silica gel) shows identical chromatographic behavior and these layers are useful to separate nonionic surfactant (Brij-35) from cationic surfaetant (cetylpyridinium chloride). The mutual separation of B J-35 and B J-57 is not influenced by the presence of optical brightener in the sample.
文摘The adsorption of the cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTMA) from aqueous solutions on attapulgite was studied. Attapulgite is a clay mineral that has many applications, especially in agriculture and industry. It has not been studied extensively compared with other clay minerals for its sorption properties in environmental applications. In the present work the adsorption capacity of CTMA on attapulgite was found that was high and was mostly due to ion exchange mechanism. Furthermore, the experimental data fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm.
