Abstract
The solubilization of phenol and benzyl alcohol by the micelles of a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), and an anionic surfactant, lithium dodecyl sulfate (LDS), was studied as a function of surfactant concentration. The critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of the two surfactants in the presence of small amounts of these additives were determined by a conductivity method at 25°C. The micelle-water partition coefficient, K x , and the standard free energy change of transfer, ΔG p 0 , of each additive from water to micelles were also calculated. K x and ΔG p 0 of phenol and benzyl alcohols between bulk water and CTAB micelles were also determined by a differential spectroscopic method at 25°C.
