Triton-X series

Polyoxyethylene p-t-octyl phenol the Triton X series of detergents, n = 9-10 for Triton X-100 and 7-8 for Triton X-114. 

Aerosols and the Triton-X Series. Aerosol OT was evaluated as a representative of this group and was found to have slight activity— not suflBcient to warrant additional testing. Members of the Triton-X series had no ripening activity. 

Ethoxylated alkylphenols are known under the following trade names Baymol A/LN (Bayer), "Empilan NP" (Albright Wilson), "Hostapal CV/B" (Clariant), "Lutensol AP/TO" (BASF), Makon and Polystep series (Stepan), Mulsifan RT 18/37 (Zschimmer Schwarz), Neonol AF (Nizhnekamskneftekhim), Nonipol (Sanyo), "Renex" (Uniqema/ICT), "Rewopal HV" (Witco), "Tergitol NP" and "Triton X" series (Union Carbide), and so on. 

In another reverse microemulsion method [262], an oil phase/Triton X-35 / H2O mixture was added to an oil phase/Triton X-35/Ti-tetrapropoxide combination to obtain gel particles. Note here that the Triton X series of products can be described as alkylaryl polyether alcohols, the numbers indicating the average number of ethylene oxide units (3 in case of Triton X-35) see also Table 2.2. The oil phase was cyclohexane or decane. Yet another two-microemulsion method used non-ionic surfactants NP-5 and NP-9 (wt ratio 1 1) and cyclohexane as the oil phase [263]. As aqueous phase, the authors used a TiCl4 solution and an ammonia solution. The microemulsions were prepared and mixed at 13 C to obtain titania particles. The suspension was poured into acetone, the precipitate centrifuged, washed with acetone and vacuum dried for 2 h. The particle size was about 5 nm.

To clarify some of these problems, Beauchamp [278] has made a detailed study of manganese and zinc absorption with octylphenyl non-ionic surfactants in the Triton X series using soybean leaf tissues (Fig. 10.33). Absorption of both was increased in tissues floating on solutions of the ions and surfactants. Neither surface activity or HLB could be correlated with the effect in most experiments Triton X-114 (with 7 or 8 ethylene oxide units) was generally the most effective of the series, although Triton X-100 and X-102 have similar effects on Zn uptake. These results should be compared with those shown earlier in Fig. 10.31 on dalapon and amitrole uptake.
