Abstract
Comparative study was made of adsorption of cationic surfactants, decamethoxine, ethonium, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, on a highly dispersed amorphous silica at different pH values. Contrary to the adsorption of monoquaternary ammonium compound, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, the adsorption of bis(quaternary ammonium) compounds, ethonium and decamethoxine, was found to be caused mainly by electrostatic interaction. The adsorption of antiseptic decamethoxine is reversible at pH 6; this may be used to design carriers capable of controlled drug release into the surrounding medium.
