Sodium dodecyl sulfate adsorption

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... 

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. 

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 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]. 

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]. 

The physical meaning of the g (ion) potential depends on the accepted model of an ionic double layer. The proposed models correspond to the Gouy-Chapman diffuse layer, with or without allowance for the Stem modification and/or the penetration of small counter-ions above the plane of the ionic heads of the adsorbed large ions. " The experimental data obtained for the adsorption of dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide and sodium dodecyl sulfate strongly support the Haydon and Taylor mode According to this model, there is a considerable space between the ionic heads and the surface boundary between, for instance, water and heptane. The presence in this space of small inorganic ions forms an additional diffuse layer that partly compensates for the diffuse layer potential between the ionic heads and the bulk solution. Thus, the Eq. (31) may be considered as a linear combination of two linear functions, one of which [A% - g (dip)] crosses the zero point of the coordinates (A% and 1/A are equal to zero), and the other has an intercept on the potential axis. This, of course, implies that the orientation of the apparent dipole moments of the long-chain ions is independent of A. 

Separation of colloids by GPC is an important technical advance that may help in the characterization of novel materials. One such separation was the shape separation of gold particles of nanometer size by GPC on a Nucleogel GFC 1000-8 column using sodium dodecyl sulfate and Brij-35 [polyoxyethylene (23) dodecanol] to modulate the adsorption properties of the colloidal gold.42 Rodlike and spherical particles were separated using UV-VIS detection. 

Various methods have been used to examine the composition of proteins adsorbed to SAMs. Overall adsorption patterns can be examined with sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) [50, 76, 77]. Absorbed proteins are eluted from the surface with surfactant (SDS), and then separated by electrophoresis. The proteins of interest are examined by western blotting [50, 76, 77]. Protein-specific antibodies can be used to detect proteins of... 

Haywood and Riley [14] have described a spectrophotometric method for the determination of arsenic in seawater. Adsorption colloid flotation has been employed to separate phosphate and arsenate from seawater [15]. These two anions, in 500 ml filtered seawater, are brought to the surface in less than 5 min, by use of ferric hydroxide (added as 0.1 M FeC 2 ml) as collector, at pH 4, in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate [added as 0.05% ethanolic solution (4 ml)] and a stream of nitrogen (15 ml/minutes). The foam is then removed and phosphate and arsenate are determined spectrophotometrically [16]. Recoveries of arsenate and arsenite exceeding 90% were obtained by this procedure. 

Typical examples of adsorption isotherms of sodium dodecyl sulfate onto different surfaces are shown in Fig. 4.2 [41]. Fig. 4.2 also demonstrates the effect of the... 

The adsorption isotherm of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on alumina at pH = 6.5 in 0.1 M NaCI (Fig. 4.11a) is characteristic of anionic surfactant adsorption onto a positively charged oxide. As shown by Somasundaran and Fuerstenau (1966) and by Chandar et al. (1987), the isotherm can be divided into four regions. These authors give the following explanation for the adsorption mechanism ... 

The application of the activity of the surfactant has been examined also for the surface tension and adsorption of disodlum alkyl phosphate(6,7), sodium dodecyl sulfate(37), alkyl trimethylammonium bromide(35 ), and sodium perfluorooctanoate(13) solutions. These studies show that the surface tension and theadsorption amount are controlled by the activity of surfactant, irrespective of the added electrolyte concentration. 

The adsorption of ionic surfactants creates an adsorption layer of surfactant ions, a Stern layer of counterions and a diffusive layer distributed by the electric field of the charged surface. Every layer has its own contribution to surface tension. For example, the adsorption of dodecyl sulfate (DS") ions from the sodium dodecyl sulfate solution is described by the modified Frumkin isotherm as... 

In a previous publication ( ), results were presented on the micellar properties of binary mixtures of surfactant solutions consisting of alkyldimethylamine oxide (C12 to Cig alkyl chains) and sodium dodecyl sulfate. It was reported that upon mixing, striking alteration in physical properties was observed, most notably in the viscosity, surface tension, and bulk pH values. These changes were attributed to 1) formation of elongated structures, 2) protonation of amine oxide molecules, and 3) adsorption of hydronium ions on the mixed micelle surface. In addition, possible solubilisation of a less soluble 1 1 complex, form between the protonated amine oxide and the long chain sulfate was also considered. 

In this paper we apply basic solution thermodynamics to both the adsorption of single surfactants and the competitive adsorption of two surfactants on a latex surface. The surfactant system chosen in this model study is sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and nonylphenol deca (oxyethylene glycol) monoether (NP-EO o) These two surfactants have very different erne s, i.e. the balance between their hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties are very different while both are still highly soluble in water. 

One of the most widely used forms of gel electrophoresis is known as sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Polyacrylamide gel has several advantages that account for its extensive use. It has minimal adsorptive properties and produces a negligible electroosmotic effect (Hjelmeland and Chrambach 1981). In identity tests, for the determination of molecular weight, SDS-PAGE has been shown to be an appropriate, fast, and easy method that is often used in quality control laboratories. The use of SDS-PAGE followed by a densitometric analysis, such as MS, is a helpful technique for the determination of peptide or... 

A scintillation counter is used to measure tritium /3 particles adjacent to the surfaces of tritiated sodium dodecyl sulfate in 0.115 M aqueous NaCl solution and tritiated dodeca-nol in dodecanol. The former system is surface active and the latter is not, so the difference between the measured radioactivity above the two indicates the surface excess of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The number of counts per minute arising from the surface excess As is related to the surface excess in moles per square centimeter r by the relationship As = 4.7 x 1012 T1. Use the following data (25°C) to construct the adsorption isotherm for sodium dodecyl sulfate on 0.115 M NaCl ... 

Figure 12.12b illustrates the application of gel electrophoresis to protein characterization. In this illustration a cross-linked polyacrylamide gel is the site of the electrophoretic migration of proteins that have been treated with sodium dodecyl sulfate. The surfactant dissociates the protein molecules into their constituent polypeptide chains. The results shown in Figure 12.12b were determined with well-characterized polypeptide standards and serve as a calibration curve in terms of which the mobility of an unknown may be interpreted to yield the molecular weight of the protein. As with any experiment that relies on prior calibration, the successful application of this method requires that the unknown and the standard be treated in the same way. This includes such considerations as the degree of cross-linking in the gel, the pH of the medium, and the sodium dodecyl sulfate concentration. The last two factors affect the charge of the protein molecules by dissociation and adsorption, respectively. Example 12.5 considers a similar application of electrophoresis. 

This paper describes a study of the dispersibility of Graphon (graphitized Spheron 6) in aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) an dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), and its relation to the adsorption behavior of the surfactants at the solid/liquid interface, with a view to determine the controlling process in the dispersibility of these systems.

In what follows, one considers for illustration purposes the case in which the charge is generated on the surface of colloidal particles or droplets by the adsorption of a surfactant, namely sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). We selected this case because information about the adsorption of SDS on an interface is available in the literature, and as it will become clearer later the number of parameters involved is smaller than in the case of silica. A more complex calculation about the silica and the amphoteric latex particles will be presented in a forthcoming paper. It involves several kinds of surface dipoles and equilibrium constants. 

Abstract Investigations of alternate adsorption regularities of cationic polyelectrolytes a) copolymer of styrene and dimethylaminopropyl-maleimide (CSDAPM) and b) poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC) and anionic surfactant - sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on fused quartz surface were carried out by capillary electrokinetic method. The adsorption/desorption kinetics, structure and properties of adsorbed layers for both polyelectrolytes and also for the second adsorbed layer were studied in dependence on different conditions molecular weight of polyelectrolyte, surfactant and polyelectrolyte concentration, the solution flow rate through the capillary during the adsorption, adsorbed layer formation...
