Abstract
Propyl gallate (PG) adsolubilisation in the cationic, anionic and nonionic surfactant micelles formed in the bulk solution and at the silica/solution interface has been investigated. It was found that in the absence of surfactant, propyl gallate does not adsorb on the silica surface from aqueous solution. However, in the presence of hexyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), its uptake by silica significantly increases. Alumina is quite an effective adsorbent for SDS and propyl gallate and does not adsorb nonionic TX-100. The addition of PG promotes adsorption of SDS and TX-100.
