Abstract

Abstract Adsorption of cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on zeolite A has been investigated using surfactant-selective electrode technique. The electrode consisted of a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane based on neutral ion-pair carrier complex of cetyltrimethylammonium tetraphenylborate (CTA+TPB−). Adsorbance of CTAB on zeolite A was calculated from the potential and concentration response characteristics of the surfactant-selective electrode to get the surfactant adsorption isotherms. Adsorption isotherm of CTAB was S-shaped. The adsorbance was related to pH and electrolyte in the surfactant solutions.
