Abstract
AbstractThe adsorption of surfactants of similar structure on mineral oxide surfaces can be described by a single adsorption isotherm when plotted against reduced concentration. The total adsorption of mixtures of these surfactants and the adsorption of each individual surfactant in the mixture can be estimated from this reduced adsorption isotherm. No mixture data are required for this calculation. The method of calculating the reduced concentration for pure surfactants and surfactant mixtures is discussed. Adsorption data of three isomerically pure alkylbenzene sulfonates and binary mixtures of these surfactants on alumina and kaolinite is used to illustrate this correlation.
