Abstract
ABSTRACTNonylphenol dodecyl sulfonate (C12NPAS) has been synthesized, and mixed with heavy alkyl benzene sulfonates (HABS) in different proportions. The effects of different mixing ratios on properties such as adsorption, wetting, foaming, and emulsification, of the C12NPAS/HABS surfactant mixtures have been systematically investigated. Experimental results have shown that, after mixing, the wetting and foaming properties of C12NPAS/HABS are improved remarkably. Compared with C12NPAS and HABS alone, the adsorption and emulsifying properties of C12NPAS/HABS are far superior, which we attribute to a synergistic effect between these surfactants.
