Effect of the Addition of Fluorinated Surfactant on the Solubilization of n-Hexane by Hydrocarbon Surfactant

초록

In this study, the effect of the addition of fluorinated surfactant FS-606 on the solubilization of n-hexane by hydrocarbon surfactant CDP-W was investigated. Oil drop contacting experiments revealed that solubilization rate is independent of initial oil drop size and proportional to the initial surfactant concentration, suggesting that solubilization of n-hexane oil by the surfactant mixture of FS-606 and CDP-W is controlled by an interface-controlled mechanism. In addition, the solubilization rate has been shown to increase with an increase in FS-606 composition, reach a maximum, and then decrease with a further increase in FS-606 composition. On the other hand, the interfacial tension between micellar solution and n-hexane oil has been found to decrease with an increase in FS-606 composition, reach a minimum, and then increase with a further increase in FS-606 composition. © 2023 The Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry.
