Investigation of Coagulation Characteristics of Surfactant SDBS Micellar Solution with Alum Sulfate and Ferric Chloride

Surfactant is a ubiquitous substance in aquatic environment owing to its popular use.It has the characteristic of enwrapping insoluble substances and forming colloids,and so is the carrier of insoluble and environmental hazardous substances to exist and transfer in water body.In the disposal process of surfactant wastewater,flocculation technology is usually used as a pretreatment method.The flocculation process of this kind of wastewater is very complicated because of its complicated components and unconstant characteristics.To control its behaviors in disposal processes,the coagulation characteristics of anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate(SDBS)micellar solution with different dosage of alum sulfate or alum sulfate were investigated respectively in this study.Combined with the change of Zeta potential and surface tension measurements,the preferable stoichiometric proportion in each case was investigated.With the experimental evidences,the preferable stoichiometric proportion between Al and SDBS,Fe and SDBS was about 2.5×10-3mol/L and 3×10-3mol/L respectively.Furthermore,based on several coagulation characteristics observed in samples with different pH,the preferable stoichiometric proportion between Al and SDBS,Fe and SDBS were also investigated,combined with the change of Zeta potential and surface tension measurements.Results shows that,(1)Both Al2(SO43-SDBS system and FeCl3-SDBS system are sensitive to pH condition.(2)In Al2(SO43-SDBS system,under the weak-acidic pH condition about 5,the equilibrium zeta potential is near zero and the peak value of surface tension is higher,and the preferable molar ratio of Al to SDBS is about 0.15.(3)In FeCl3-SDBS system,under the weak-acidic pH condition about 4,the equilibrium zeta potential is near zero and the peak value of surface tension is higher,and the preferable molar ratio of Fe to SDBS is about 2.5.(4)When the molar ratio of Al to SDBS is raised to around 3,the coagulation reduce gradually.

Integrative Disposal of Dyeing Wastewater by Mixture of Surfactant and Bentonite

Dyeing wastewater,due to its high chroma and high toxicity,is difficult to biodegrade, resulting in a severely impair on the aquatic ecological environment.Bentonite mineral with a special 2:1 crystal structure is an inexpensive material available easily,showing an excellent adsorption property for pollutants.The surfactant-modified organobentonite,treating dyeing wastewater effectively,has broad applications in the field of sewage treatment.However, there are some problems in the separation of solid-liquid,and some surfactants are desorbed easily when used to deal with wastewater.On the other hand,the surfactants are expensive. These drawbacks inhibit their applications in the actual wastewater treatments.Mixing the cationic surfactant(CTMAB or CPC)directly with bentonite to treat dyeing wastewater was investigated in this paper.The results showed that the cationic surfactant interacting with bentonite in aqueous solution greatly increased decolourization rate as compared with the traditional sorption method of organobentonite.of all surfactants, CTMAB-bentonite showed the highest removal rate of 99%for 100 mg·L-1isatin.The process was little influenced by pH change and contact time,showing a distinct synergistic effect of adsorption,flocculation and decolourization.The result from treating actual dyeing wastewater with CTMAB+Bentonite showed its effectiveness,fast decolourization,less sludge production and easy operation.The different dyeing wastewater treatments depend on the different mixture ratios of CTMAB and bentonite.When the combination of 0.8 g·L-1CTMAB and 0.3 g·L-1bentonite was used to treat the dyeing wastewater from a print works in Nanning,both decolourization rate and NTU removal rate of 98%achieved,while the COD removal rate reached to 85%.After further biological treatment,the wastewater meeting the discharge standards could be obtained.The sludge could be regenerated after decolorization and calcinations.

The Constructions of Surfactant Forming Molecule Aggregation in Clean Media

The constructions of surfactant forming molecular aggregates (micelle, vesicle, microemulsion, liquid crystal etc.) in various media have been interesting in the field of Colloid and Interface Chemistry. With the formation and development of Green Chemistry, clean media (water, supercritical fluid, ionic liquid etc.) have been the important research part. Thereinto, the assembly of the surfactant forming molecular aggregates in those clean media is a challenging subject and it is significant theoretically and practically to obtain the detailed mechanism of many physico-chemical process and to exploit the novel space of creating the new matter and materials. Therefore, the main content in this paper is included in the following aspects:(1) Effect of compressed CO2 on ionic liquid solubilization in cyclohexane/TritonX-100/ethylammonium nitrate reverse micelle was investigated at different temperature and pressure by using phase behavior measurement and UV-Vis techniques. It was found that compressed CO2 could enhance considerably solubilization of the ethylammonium nitrate in the reverse micelles at suitable pressure, and formation of the reverse micelles could be tuned easily by pressure.(2) The effects of n-butanol as a cosurfactant on the phase behavior of cyclohexane/TX-100/[Bmim][BF4] system, especially on the [Bmim][BF4] solubilization capacity in [Bmim][BF4]/cyclohexane microemulsions, were investigated by direct visual observation, UV–vis spectrophotometry and dynamic light scatting (DLS) at 25.0 ?C. The results show that n-butanol magnifies notably the [Bmim][BF4]/cyclohexane microemulsion single-phase region and increases the [Bmim][BF4] solubilization capacity in [Bmim][BF4]/cyclohexane microemulsions. A possible mechanism was proposed to make out the effect of n-butanol as a cosurfactant on the microemulsions with ionic liquid domain.(3) The interfacial tension between dodecyldimethyl (3-sulfopropyl) -ammonium /sodium dodecyl sulfates mixed system in aqueous solution and n-hexadecane in the absence and in the presence of additives, i.e., polyacrylamide, sodium chloride and alkali have been measured with a spinning drop tensiometer. And the mixtures are found to exhibit ultralow interfacial tensions. The critical micelle concentrations were determined with drop volume technique. Utilizing the CMC data thermodynamics properties was determined. It was found that there existed ultralow interfacial tension between the mixed surfactant aquous and n-hexadecane; the micellization of the mixed system is a process drived by entropy.
