Abstract
Electrocapillary investigations by the drop time method revealed a rather strong surface activity of aqueous petroleum solutions and some petroleum fractions in solutions of base electrolytes at the dropping mercury electrode, depending on the quality of the surfactant. The highest surface activity and sensitivity of analytical determination was found between -0.4 and -0.6 V (S.C.E.). The detection limit of the electrocapillary method was 10-20 μg/l for Diesel oil and up to 5 times higher for petroleum samples. The sensitivity of the measurements at lowest concentrations was increased by convective adsorption accumulation at the surface of the growing drop.
