The critical micelle concentration (CMC) and counter-ion binding constant (B) of the pure cationic surfactants (DTAB, TTAB, CTAB), nonionic surfactants (Tween-20, Tween-40, Tween-80), and their mixed surfactants (TTAB/Tween-20, TTAB/Tween-40, TTAB/Tween-80) in aqueous solutions of 4-chlorobenzoic acid were determined by using the UV/Vis absorbance method and the conductivity method from 284 K to 312 K. Thermodynamic parameters (${\Delta}G^o{_m}$, ${\Delta}H^o{_m}$, and ${\Delta}S^o{_m}$), associated with the micelle formation of those surfactant systems, have been estimated from the dependence of CMC and B values on the temperature and carbon length of surfactant molecules. The calculated values of ${\Delta}G^o{_m}$ are all negative within the measured range but the values of ${\Delta}H^o{_m}$ and ${\Delta}S^o{_m}$ are positive or negative, depending on the length of the carbon chain and surfactant.

In this study, a cationic surfactant BHMAS (N,N-bis-(3'-n-dodecyloxy-2'-hydroxypropyl)-N-methyl-2-hydroxyethylammonium methyl sulfate) having two lauryl and three hydroxyl groups was synthesized by the reaction of n-dodecyl glycidyl ether and 2-aminoethanol followed by the quarternization with dimethyl sulfate. The structure of the product was elucidated by $^{1}H-NMR$ and FT-IR. The CMC (critical micelle concentration) and surface tension of BHMAS at CMC condition were found to be $9.12\;{\times}\;10^{-4}$ mol/L and 28.71 mN/m respectively. Dynamic surface tension measurements using a maximum bubble pressure tensiometer indicated that a relatively long time was required to saturate the interface between air and aqueous surfactant solution. The interfacial tension measured between 1 wt% surfactant solution and n-decane reached an equilibrium value of 0.045 mN/m in 5 min. The adsorption capacity of the synthesized surfactant was observed to be excellent, which suggests that the surfactant can be used as a softening agent during a laundry process.

The solubilization constants (K_s) of 4-halogenated aniline derivatives by cationic surfactants (DTAB, TTAB, and CTAB) were measured by the UV-Vis method. As a result, the K_s values decreased as the temperature increased for all the aniline derivatives and showed a tendency to increase as the radius of the halogen substituent and the hydrophobic length of surfactant increased. The calculated values of ΔG^o and ΔH^o for these solubilizations all showed negative values within the measured range, but all the ΔS^o values showed positive values. For all the 4-halogenated anilines, the ΔG^o values all tended to decrease as the temperature increased, but both values of ΔH^o and ΔS^o showed a tendency to increase. In addition, as the radius of the halogen substituent increased, the values of ΔH^o and ΔS^o tended to decrease in general. However, when the hydrophobic group length of the surfactant was increased, the values of these thermodynamic functions showed a tendency to increase in general, although it differed depending on the type of aniline derivative. From the changes of such functions, it was possible to estimate the type and strength of interactions between 4-halogenated aniline and micelle, and the location at which they were solubilized in the micelle.

The solution properties of sodium n-dodecyl sulfate, as an anionic surfactant in the presence of a cationic watersoluble 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (N-methylpyridinium-4-yl) porphyrin (TMPyP) has been comprehensively studied by means of conductometry, UV-vis and resonance light scattering (RLS) spectroscopies. The results represent the decreasing of critical micelle concentration of SDS solution due to increasing of TMPyP concentration. The stabilization of SDS micelle is due to neutralization of negative charge at the micelle surface. The presence of three different species of TMPyP in SDS solution has been unequivocally demonstrated: free porphyrin monomers, porphyrin monomers or aggregates bound to the micelles, and nonmicellar porphyrin/surfactant aggregates. Our results show SDS induced an aggregation in TMPyP. In fact two kinds of J-aggregations were observed: one of them for porphyrin monomers or aggregates bound to the micelles and the other for nonmicellar porphyrin/surfactant aggregates. However, the results represent the electrostatic interaction of TMPyP with SDS anion below the cmc.

Surfactant adsorption by two montmorillonite types with different interlayer cations of Ca and Na was characterized by examining the time dependence of surfactant behavior on the clay surfaces. Surfactants with different micelle concentration were conducted in our experiment to observe a nonequilibrium activity of cationic surfactant on the clay over reaction periods ranging from 0.1 min to 11 days. As compared with Ca-montmorillonite (SAz), a more active intrusion of surfactant molecules into the interlayers was found in Na-montmorillonite (SWy). During a short 'initiation' stage, the basal spacing of SWy montmorillonite increased rapidly with logarithmic time. For SAz montmorillonite, however, the abrupt basal spacing increase occurred at the later stage of the reaction. From the result, the difference in the adsorption behavior exhibited by the two montmorillonite types partly results from their intrinsic nature, that is, inorganic cations originally existing on the clay surfaces. Additionally, the micelle concentration of surfactants affects the development of organo-montmorillonite, especially, in the intercalant formation and stabilization under nonequilibrium.

This study was carried out to separate immunoglobulin G(IgG) from colostrum using reverse micellar extraction of cationic surfactant and to suggest suitable extraction conditions. The reconstituted colostrum powder was solubilized into a reverse micellar phase containing CDAB(cetyldimethylethyl ammonium bromide) by mixing equal volume of the aqueous and organic phase with constant stirring. The solubilization of proteins from the aqueous to the organic phase was manipulated by pH and ionic strength of the aqueous phase and concentration of surfactant in the organic phase. Based on the SDS-PAGE and densitometry, about more than 90% of initial IgG was remained in the aqueous phase after reverse micellar extraction. Although the aqueous phase contained lactoferrin and bovine serum albumin as minor components, about 93% of the total protein was IgG. The efficient extraction was achieved by the reaction of sodium phosphate buffer(pH 8) containing 50 mM KCl and organic phase containing 100 mM CDAB. The separation of IgG using reverse micellar extraction was simple, highly efficient and easy to be scaled up.

The interaction of phenoxide anion with several cationic surfactant micelles (DTAB, TTAB, CTAB, CDEAB, and CTAC) was studied by UV/Vis spectrophotometric method. The solubilization constants of phenoxide anion into the cationic micellar phase and the critical micelle concentration of these surfactants in the presence of the phenoxide anion could be determined from the absorbance changes. The measured solubilization constants were changed according to the following order: $K_s(CTAC)>K_s(CDEAB)>K_s(CTAB)>K_s(TTAB)>K_s(DTAB).$ Effects of salts(NaCl and NaBr) and n-alcohols(butanol, pentanol, and hexanol) on the solubilization of phenoxide anion by the TTAB system have been also measured and analyzed. There was a great decrease of solubilization constant and CMC with these additives. The standard Gibbs free energy, enthalpy, and entropy changes for the solubilization of phenoxide anion by the TTAB system were calculated from the temperature dependence of $K_s$ values.

In this study, a cationic gemini surfactant was synthesized using isosorbide, in order to modify the alkyl chain length in the range of C₁₀~C₁₆. The c.m.c and surface tension of the synthesized cationic gemini surfactant were measured to be in the ranges of 5.13 × 10^-4~1.62 × 10^-4 mol/L and 31.86~37.41 dyne/cm, respectively. The surface tension increased with increasing the length of the alkyl group. In addition, as the area per molecule occupied by the surfactant adsorbed on the interface increased with the reduced extent of adsorption, the bubble generation at the air-water interface decreased. The emulsifying capacity in benzene was maintained above 60 ± 5% after 8 h while that in soybean oil tended to decrease above 50 ± 5%. The performance was superior in benzene, a highly hydrophobic substance, and the emulsion stability was shown to be consistent beyond 1 h during the preparation of pre-emulsion in oil and water. The antimicrobial activity was dependent on the length of the hydrophobic chain of the synthesized cationic gemini surfactant due to the increased size of the clean zone in Escherichia coli (E.coli) and Staphylococcus aureus.

The feasibility of PENTANOX 4X for the simultaneous removal of nitrate and phosphate was investigated using micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration. Because PENTANOX 4X has cationic property at low pH, anionic contaminants can be bound to PENTANOX 4X micelle by electrostatic interaction. At pH 3, 90% of nitrate and 72% of phosphate were removed by 27 mM of PENTANOX 4X, which were equivalent to 20 mM of CPC. PENTANOX 4X of > 80 % was rejected by ultrafiltration membrane and did not make any counter-ion such as chloride for CPC which might cause second-pollution.
