Abstract
AbstractThe effects of some inorganic electrolytes on the dissolution behavior of anionic‐amphoteric mixed surfactant systems have been studied in terms of dissolution temperature of a hydrated solid surfactant; these systems are sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) ‐ Nα,Nα‐dimethyl‐Nɛ‐lauroyl lysine (DMLL), including different inorganic electrolytes (NaCl, NaSCN, or CaCl2). The dissolution temperatures of mixed surfactant systems are lower than those of pure surfactant solutions and become less than 0 C at a certain mole fraction of surfactants. As the concentration of NaCl increases, the dissolution temperatures of systems at a DMLL mole fraction lower than 0.4 increase, while those of systems at a ratio higher than 0.9 remain almost the same. With increasing concentration of NaSCN, the dissolution temperatures of systems at a DMLL mole fraction lower than 0.4 increase, while those of systems at a ratio higher than 0.9 decrease. For CaCl2 systems, there exists a maximum in the dissolution temperature at a certain composition, because addition compound formation between anionic and zwitterionic surfactants occurs due to the presence of calcium ions.
