Abstract

Adsorption at the gas —air interface and micelle formation in binary solutions of ethoxylated alkyl phenol (Neonol AF 9-10) and sodium oleate have been studied. The Rubin and Rosen equations were used to determine the interaction parameters and the composition of mixed micelles and adsorption layers depending on the initial solution composition. The authors have found out that the micelles and the adsorption layer at the interface are enriched in a non-ionic component. The maximum synergistic effect during micelle formation was found for solutions containing 20–30 % molar of reagent Neonol AF 9-10, and during adsorption —20 and 50 %.
