Abstract
Experimental nonequilibrium surface tension measurements of 1–9 nonanediol solutions obtained by the oscillating-jet method have been interpreted in terms of our theoretical predictions derived for a mixed-controlled adsorption kinetics of the surfactant. The surface tension values have been calculated from the Szyszkowski equation using the Langmuir model of surfactant adsorption. Our theoretical results, obtained by a numerical solution of the adsorption equations, agree well with experimental data giving a value of the kinetics Szyszkowski constant very similar to the thermodynamic equilibrium value determined from experimental measurements of the static surface tension of 1–9 nonanediol solutions of various concentration. The approximate kinetic equation derived by P. Joos, G. Bleys, and G. Petre ( J. Chim. Phys. 79, 387 (1982)) for purely barrier-controlled adsorption proved to be less accurate.
