Abstract
ABSTRACT Medium chain length alkyl amines were found to be more effective cosurfactants for microemulsion formation than are medium chain length alcohols at high hydrocarbon levels with sodium doecyl sulfate as the surfactant. Both aromatic and short chain aliphatic hydrocarbons were studied. By contrast, the amines were found virtually Ineffective with quaternary anmoniutn salts whereas the alcohols showed good performance. This suggests the possibility that complementarity of function between surfactant and cosurfactant may be a desirable feature of a microemulsion system at high hydrocarbon levels.
