critical micelle concentration (CMC) and the counter ion binding constant (B) in a mixed micellar state of the trimethyltetradecylammonium bromide (TTAB) with the polyoxyethylene (23) lauryl ether (Brij 35) at 25oC in water and in aqueous solutions of butanol isomers were determined as a function of 1 (the overall mole fraction of TTAB) by the use of electric conductivity method and surface tensiometer method. Various thermodynamic parameters (Xi, i, Ci, aiM, and Hmix) were calculated by means of the equations derived from the nonideal mixed micellar model. The results say that the effects of butanol isomers on the micellization of TTAB/Brij 35 mixtures have been in the order of n-butanol>iso-butanol>t-butanol> water.

The critical micelle concentrations (CMC) and the counter ion binding constants (B) in a micellar state of the mixed surfactant systems of Tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) with Polyoxyethylene(23) lauryl ether (Brij 35) in water were determined as a function of α1 (the overall mole fraction of TTAB) by the use of electric conductivity method and surface tensiometer method from 15 oC to 35 oC. Values of thermodynamic parameters (ΔGom, ΔHom, and ΔSom) for the micellization of TTAB/Brij 35 mixtures were calculated and analyzed from the temperature dependence of CMC values. The results say that the measured values of ΔGom are all negative at the whole measured condition but the values of ΔSom and ΔHom are positive or negative, depending on the measured temperature and α1.

The critical micelle concentrations(CMC*) and the counterion binding constants(B) in a micellar state of the mixed surfactant systems of sodium dodecylsulfate(SDS) with sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate(DBS) at 25℃ in pure water and in aqueous solutions of n-butanol were determined as a function of α1 (the overall mole fraction of SDS) by the use of electric conductivity method. Various thermodynamic parameters(Xi, γi, Ci, aiM, β, ΔHmix and ΔGm0 for the micellization of SDS/DBS mixtures were calculated and analyzed by means of the equations derived from the nonideal mixed micelle model. The effect of n-butanol on the mixed micellization of SDS/DBS mixtures have been measured and analyzed by comparing the values of the thermodynamic parameters in pure water with those in aqueous solutions of n-butanol(0.1 M, 0.2 M, and 0.3 M).

The effect of humic acid on the simultaneous removal of nitrate and phosphate was investigated in a micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF). At the low molar ratio of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) to contaminants, the removal of nitrate was lower to 50％ by 100 ppm of humic acid due to the competition for binding on micelles. At the molar ratio higher than 3, however, the removal of nitrate was over 80％. Phosphate was removed over 80% at the molar ratio higher than 1. The CPC and humic acid were rejected over 99 ％ by UF membrane. The flux did not decrease by 100 ppm of humic acid but rather slightly increased since the humic acid adsorbed on the membrane made the membrane more hydrophilic. As a result, humic acid did not diminish the performance of MEUF in the simultaneous removal of nitrate and phosphate.

The characteristics of drag reduction and rheological behaviors were investigated using cationic surfactants, whose microstructures are known to change when concentration of the surfactant exceeds CMC. The firstly formed spherical micelles change to rodlike or disklike micelles because of packing between surfactants micells, and of thermodynamic perference. The drag reduction becomes significant when the concentration increases over this micellar transient point. Drag reductions were measured as a function of concentration, and rheological characteristics of the surfactant were further investigated to understand the correlation between their rheological properties and drag reduction. Micelles show the non-Newtonian behavior, and shear thickening behaviors were observed due to the structural development. In addition, structural developments were determined by adding the counter-ion in case of DOBON-G.

In this study, surfactants were synthesized using fatty alcohols of 8, 10, 12 and 14 carbon chains length. The structures of the synthesized surfactants was confirmed by FT-IR and $^1H$-NMR analysis. The surface tension of the diluted surfactant was measured as 26~32 mN/m depending on the carbon length and the critical micelle concentration was measured as $10^{-3}{\sim}10^{-5}mol/L$.The minimum value per molecule of the synthesized sulfonic acid surfactant is 1.68 to $1.30nm^2$. The physical properties of the synthesized surfactants were determined by measuring the critical micelle concentration, foaming power, emulsifying stability, and contact angle.

The removal characteristics of cadmium in micellar enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) were investigated by using an anionic biosurfactant, deoxycholic acid (DCA). The ultrafiltration experiments were performed in a batch-type stirred cell. The ultrafiltration membranes used were Millipore YM1, YM3, YM10, and YM30 which had a difference in molecular weight cut-off. The presence of cadmium ion in DCA solution tends to reduce the critical micell concentration considerably and increase the micell size. The molecular weight cut-off of ultrafiltration membrane had a minimal effect on cadmium removal whereas DCA/Cd ratio had a substantial influence. When DCA/Cd ratio was 3, the removal efficiency of cadmium was more than 99.6%. A relative flux, which is defined as ratio of the flux for a separation trial to that of deionized water run using the same piece of membrane, decreased in the order of YM3 > YM1 > YM10 > YM30.

The critical micelle concentrations (CMC) and the counter ion binding constants (B) in a micellar state of the mixed surfactant systems of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBS) with polyoxyethylene(4) lauryl ether (Brij 30) in water were determined as a function of 1 (the overall mole fraction of DBS) by the use of electric conductivity method and surface tensiometer method from 288 K to 308 K. Various thermodynamic parameters (Smo, Hmo, and Gmo) for the micellization of DBS/Brij 30 mixtures were calculated and analyzed from the temperature dependence of CMC values. The measured values of Gomare all negative but the values of Smo are positive in the whole measured temperature region. On the other hand, the values of Hmo are positive or negative, depending on the measured temperature and 1.

In this study, sodium dedocyl sulfate (SDS), which was anionic surfactant, was added for forming micelles to remove ferrous ions that could be contained with a small amount in industrial water. Then aggregates were formed by adsorption or binding of ferrous ions on the surface of micelles, and then rejected by ceramic membranes to remove ferrous ions. Ferrous concentration was fixed at 1mM and SDS was changed as $0{\sim}10mM$ to investigate the effect of the anionic surfactant. As a result, rejection rate of ferrous was the highest to 88.97% at 6mM. And we used ELS (Electrophoretic Light Scattering Spectrometer) to investigate particle size distribution of micellar aggregates depending on SDS concentration. Then distribution of large aggregates was the highest at 6mM. And we investigated effects of $N_2$-back-flushing time (BT) during periodic $N_2$-back-flushing on ceramic membranes. Finally optimal $N_2$-BT for NCMT-723l (pore size $0.10{\mu}m$) membrane was 20 sec.
