Abstract
The distribution of Triton X-100 nonionic surfactant in the water-cyclohexane system was investigated by the scintillating phase method. It was shown that an increase in the distribution coefficient as the volume ratio between the aqueous and organic phases grew was explained by the presence in Triton X-100 of homologues with different numbers of ethoxyethyl groups and with the distribution coefficients between the phases different by many times. For the real composition of Triton X-100, distribution coefficients of components of the surfactant were estimated, and the behavior of the surfactant in the system under consideration was simulated; the results were in close agreement with the experimental data.
