Adsorption sulfates

As an example, Tajima and co-workers [108] used labeling to obtain the adsorption of sodium dodecyl sulfate at the solution-air interface. The results, illustrated in Fig. Ill-12, agreed very well with the Gibbs equation in the form... 

Equation V-64 is that of a parabola, and electrocapillary curves are indeed approximately parabolic in shape. Because E ax tmd 7 max very nearly the same for certain electrolytes, such as sodium sulfate and sodium carbonate, it is generally assumed that specific adsorption effects are absent, and Emax is taken as a constant (-0.480 V) characteristic of the mercury-water interface. For most other electrolytes there is a shift in the maximum voltage, and is then taken to be Emax 0.480. Some values for the quantities are given in Table V-5 [113]. Much information of this type is due to Gouy [125], although additional results are to be found in most of the other references cited in this section. 

Surface heterogeneity may be inferred from emission studies such as those studies by de Schrijver and co-workers on P and on R adsorbed on clay minerals [197,198]. In the case of adsorbed pyrene and its derivatives, there is considerable evidence for surface mobility (on clays, metal oxides, sulfides), as from the work of Thomas [199], de Mayo and co-workers [200], Singer [201] and Stahlberg et al. [202]. There has also been evidence for ground-state bimolecular association of adsorbed pyrene [66,203]. The sensitivity of pyrene to the polarity of its environment allows its use as a probe of surface polarity [204,205]. Pyrene or ofter emitters may be used as probes to study the structure of an adsorbate film, as in the case of Triton X-100 on silica [206], sodium dodecyl sulfate at the alumina surface [207] and hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride adsorbed onto silver electrodes from water and dimethylformamide [208]. In all cases progressive structural changes were concluded to occur with increasing surfactant adsorption. 

Water and Waste Water Treatment. PAG products are used in water treatment for removal of suspended soHds (turbidity) and other contaminants such as natural organic matter from surface waters. Microorganisms and colloidal particles of silt and clay are stabilized by surface electrostatic charges preventing the particles from coalescing. Historically, alum (aluminum sulfate hydrate) was used to neutralize these charges by surface adsorption of Al cations formed upon hydrolysis of the alum. Since 1983 PAG has been sold as an alum replacement in the treatment of natural water for U.S. municipal and industrial use. 

The adsorbed layer at G—L or S—L surfaces ia practical surfactant systems may have a complex composition. The adsorbed molecules or ions may be close-packed forming almost a condensed film with solvent molecules virtually excluded from the surface, or widely spaced and behave somewhat like a two-dimensional gas. The adsorbed film may be multilayer rather than monolayer. Counterions are sometimes present with the surfactant ia the adsorbed layer. Mixed moaolayers are known that iavolve molecular complexes, eg, oae-to-oae complexes of fatty alcohol sulfates with fatty alcohols (10), as well as complexes betweea fatty acids and fatty acid soaps (11). Competitive or preferential adsorption between multiple solutes at G—L and L—L iaterfaces is an important effect ia foaming, foam stabiLizatioa, and defoaming (see Defoamers). 

Graded Adsorbents and Solvents. Materials used in columns for adsorption chromatography are grouped in Table 12 in an approximate order of effectiveness. Other adsorbents sometimes used include barium carbonate, calcium sulfate, calcium phosphate, charcoal (usually mixed with Kieselguhr or other form of diatomaceous earth, for example, the filter aid Celite) and cellulose. The alumina can be prepared in several grades of activity (see below). 

Columns can be washed with solvents and solvent combinations suitable to remove adsorbed contaminants. When considering the adsorption of analytes, think not only of the diol functionality, but also of the adsorption to residual silanols. Often, the injection of small amounts (500 /d) of dimethyl sulfoxide removes contamination that has accumulated on the column. Aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate, guanidine hydrochloride, or urea are compatible with Protein-Pak columns. 

The enantioselective determination of 2,2, 3,3, 4,6 -hexachlorobiphenyl in milk was performed by Glausch et al. (21). These authors used an achiral column for an initial separation, followed by separation of the eluent fraction on a chiral column. Fat was separated from the milk by centrifugation, mixed with sodium sulfate, washed with petroleum ether and filtered. The solvent was evaporated and the sample was purified by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and silica gel adsorption chromatography. Achiral GC was performed on DB-5 and OV-1701 columns, while the chiral GC was performed on immobilized Chirasil-Dex. 

A great many materials have been used as catalyst supports in hydrogena-tion, but most of these catalyst have been in a quest for an improved system. The majority of catalyst supports are some form of carbon, alumina, or silica-alumina. Supports such as calcium carbonate or barium sulfate may give better yields of B in reactions of the type A- B- C, exemplified by acetylenes- cjs-olefins, apparently owing to a weaker adsorption of the intermediate B. Large-pore supports that allow ready escape of B may give better selectivities than smaller-pore supports, but other factors may influence selectivity as well. 

A platinum-iron on silica gel catalyst was prepared by impregnating silica gel (BDH, for chromatographic adsorption) with an aqueous solution of chloroplatinic acid (analytical grade) and sodium hydroxide (analytical grade). The dry product was then impregnated by a ferrous sulfate solution (C.P. grade) and the water was removed in a rotating evaporator. The prepared catalyst contained 1% Pt, 0.7% Fe, and 2% NaOH (by... 

Where MU water silica is high (say, more than 20-30 ppm Si02), action probably is needed to reduce the silica level at source. This may be achieved in several ways, for example, by the use of anion exchange or flocculation-adsorption processes using ferric sulfate or magnesium hydroxide. 

The Pu(III)-HS0i System. Data reduction in the Pu(III)-HS0i system is complicated by the possibility that sulfate complexes of Pu(III) could be adsorbed by the resin. Because the mathematical treatment in the case of formation of a 1 1 complex is simpler, and any adsorption of the 1 2 complex is likely to be less than that for the 1 1 complex, equations applying to the limit [HSO4]... 

Examinations of the connection between the chemical structure of alkylaryl sulfates and their physical-chemical properties show that solubility, aggregations and adsorption behavior, foam behavior and consistency are determined by the following structural elements the length of the alkyl chain, the position at which the benzene ring is connected to the alkyl chain, and the substitution pattern of the benzene ring [187,188]. 

The influence of the presence of alcohols on the CMC is also well known. In 1943 Miles and Shedlovsky [117] studied the effect of dodecanol on the surface tension of solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate detecting a significant decrease of the surface tension and a displacement of the CMC toward lower surfactant concentrations. Schwuger studied the influence of different alcohols, such as hexanol, octanol, and decanol, on the surface tension of sodium hexa-decyl sulfate [118]. The effect of dodecyl alcohol on the surface tension, CMC, and adsorption behavior of sodium dodecyl sulfate was studied in detail by Batina et al. [119]. 

The adsorption behavior of homologous sodium alcohol sulfates at the interface can be characterized by the adsorption isotherms. However, the adsorption parameters of these isotherms are very sensitive to impurities present in the surfactant. Wiinstneck et al. [145] determined the equilibrium values of... 

Murine macrophage colony-stimulating factor obtained from mouse L cells can be purified more efficiently on a large scale by HPLC in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The adsorption on hydroxylapatite gel is dependent on the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate [197]. 

AOS 2024 adsorption increases continuously on going from fresh water to 1% NaCl to 4% NaCl. Aqueous 1% NaCl was studied as an analog to aqueous 1% sodium sulfate. The last two entries of Table 19 show that increased AOS 2024 adsorption in the presence of sodium sulfate could mitigate any reduction in calcium ion-promoted surfactant precipitation. However, the larger than usual experimental uncertainty in the sodium sulfate results means that the... 

The pzc of a pc-Cd renewed by cutting was determined in dilute fluoride and sulfate solutions by capacitance measurements.645,646 The C, E curves exhibited distinct minima whose depth increased with increasing dilution of the solution (Table 15). This value is ca. 30 mV more negative than that for polished electrodes and reflects the more disturbed surface stmcture of a renewed electrode. Adsorption of aliphatic alcohols and acids has also been studied on these electrodes.645,646...
