Micellization Behavior of Mixtures of Sodium Dioctylsulfosuccinate with Sodium Dodecylsulfate in Water

摘要

Mixtures of sodium dioctylsulfosuccinate (AOT) and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) that were studied in water at 25 °C by using surface tension, conductance, emf and fluorescence emission methods exhibit synergism in the region where the mole fraction of AOT in the bulk solution (α 1) is less than 0.7 and ideality in the region where α 1 ≥ 0.7. The molal conductance versus the concentration behavior of an aqueous solution of AOT is found to be different from that of other ionic surfactants with the exception of bile salts. Composition of the mixed micelle was evaluated and discussed using the Rubingh’s and the Rodenas–Valiente–Villafruela (RVV) treatments. The values of the counter ion binding constant determined from the emf data show that the counter ion binding behavior of the mixed micelle is controlled entirely by AOT. The free energy for mixed micelle formation was calculated using a modified equation. The aggregation number determined by the fluorescence quenching method indicated that in the mixed micelle, as α 1 increases, the number of molecules of AOT remains constant and that of SDS decreases. Characteristics of the adsorption layer of the mixed surfactant system were also examined using the theoretical treatment of Rosen and Hua.
