Abstract

New surfactant was synthesized from stearic and triethylenetetraamine at room temperature, without utilizing any catalyst or solvent. Structure and composition of the salt was confirmed by using IR-, NMR- and UV- spectroscopies . Surface tension, conductivity measurements were performed on aqueous solutions of new surfactant. Its surface activity and colloidal-chemical parameters such as critical micelle concentration (CMC), surface pressure at CMC (πCMC), surface tension at CMC (γCMC), surface excess (Γmax), concentration required for 20 mN/m reduction of surface tension (C20), Gibbs energies of adsorption and micellization (ΔGad and ΔGmic) were determined. Moreover, corrosion properties and petrocollecting and petrodispersing properties of this salt was determined and maximum values of petrocollecting coefficients was calculated.
