H. Guo et al., EFFECT OF ALCOHOL AND SALT ON SOLUBILIZAT ION OF WATER IN REVERSE MICELLES FORMED BY DODECYLAMMONIUM PROPIONATE IN CARBON-TETRACHLORIDE, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 17(6), 1996, pp. 949-952
The effect of alcohols with different chain lengths and sodium chlorid
e on the solubilization of water of the dodecylammonium propionate (DA
P) reverse micelles in carbon tetrachloride has been investigated. At
fixed DAP concentration, the water solubilization vs, ROH concentratio
n curves pass through a maximum value. For the alcohols studied in thi
s work, the longer the hydrocarbon chain of an alcohol, the larger the
water solubilisation. Moreover, at fixed DAP concentration and ROH co
ncentration(at which the water solubilization curve shows maximum) the
addition of sodium chloride will decrease the solubilization of aqueo
us solution, According to the consideration of the polarity of the org
anic phases, the distribution of the surfactant between the organic ph
ase and interfacial region and the salting effect, the results have be
en explained reasonably.
