Tóm tắt

Isoperibol calorimetry was used to measure the rates of precipitation for aqueous solutions of several anionic surfactants with calcium and of anionic and cationic surfactants. A monomer concentration-dependent supersaturation ratio was used to describe the relative rates of precipitation for the surfactant systems studied. This supersaturation ratio allows for the relative rates of precipitation of any surfactant solution to be compared whether micelles are present in solution or not. In general, as the supersaturation ratio increases, the rate of precipitation decreases and the induction time decreases, bot above and below the critical micelle concentration (CMC). The rate of precipitation of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) with dodecyl pyridinium chloride is much slower than the rate of precipitation of the anionic surfactants with calcium for similar supersaturation ratios. The rate of precipitation of SDS with calcium is slightly faster than the rate of precipitation of sodium octyl benzene sulfonate for similar supersaturation ratios. Studies of precipitate crystals, conducted using image analysis, showed that size and shape dependent on the initial supersaturation, the precipitating surfactant molecule, and the extent of aging (until an equilibrium size and shape was reached). Also, differences in the appearance of crystals formed from solutions above and below the CMC were observed. These were most likely due to the difference in supersaturation of these solutions. The crystals formed due to precipitation of SDS with calcium at a concentration above the CMC formed flat trapezoidal, rhombic and hexagonal shapes. These aged into clusters by 1 wk. For a solution that was precipitated at concentrations beginning below the CMC, the crystals began as elongated and rhombic flat plates and aged into trapezoidal, rhombic, and needle-like structures.
