Abstract: | Surface properties of a series of highly purified linear alkyl benzene sulfonates were extensively studied in hard river water.
The effects of water hardness, alkyl chain length and position of the phenyl sulfonate group in the molecule on such surface
properties as pC20, critical micelle concentration (CMC), γCMC, CMC/C20 ratio, and minimum area per molecule at the interface are discussed in detail. The position of phenyl sulfonate group in
the molecule was found to have a pronounced effect on the CMC, γCMC value, CMC/C20 ratio, and, to the contrary, a relatively small effect on the pC20 value. The linear relationship between pC20 or-log CMC, and m, the number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, was found for surfactants with the phenyl sulfonate group either at the terminal
position or at the more central position in the molecule. γCMC decreases but the CMC value increases, when the position of phenyl sulfonate group moves from the terminal toward a more
central position of the molecule, reflecting the “Hartley Effect” resulting from the branched alkyl chain. |
