Study of the stability of model emulsions mimicking petroleum with different types of non-ionic surfactants

This study conducted experiments to mimic petroleum emulsions for application in laboratory flow circuits. The science of emulsion formulation is still quite restricted when it comes to parameters that stabilize emulsions. The challenge is even greater when formulating emulsions of low dynamic viscosity. In this work, model emulsions were prepared with different oil phases, with 0.1 and 1.0 % v/v of the surfactants Span 60, Span 80, Triton X-100, and Triton X-114, with 10 and 30 % v/v of aqueous phase. The kinetic stability of the emulsions evaluated in terms of aqueous phase separation, droplet size distribution, dynamic viscosity, and interfacial tension. The homogenization process assessed to identify the emulsification regime of the emulsions, inertial or viscous, through the calculation of the smallest vortices formed. A study of the maximum superficial flow velocity conducted to provide users with a better understanding of the emulsions produced here. The results indicate that seven emulsions can used in laboratory flow circuits. Span 80 provided better stabilization of the emulsions for over 72 hours with droplet sizes in the range of 0.2–100.0 µm. As a novelty in this work, increasing the concentration of surfactant Span 80 causes a decrease in average velocity in flow, a reduction in droplet size, and a regime of turbulent viscous emulsification in axial flow.

USE OF ETHOXYLATED ALCOHOLS WITH ANIONIC SURFACTANTS FOR ENHANCED RECOVERY

The article is devoted to the development of surfactant compositions, including a number of known anionic surfactants, in formulations with new types of nonionic surfactants - fatty alcohols with an increased degree of ethoxylation. The solubilizing properties of new types of fatty ethoxylated alcohols have been exploited during formulation development. A conductometric method was used to control the assembly of the formulations. After evaluating the stability of the resulting compositions, physicochemical properties were evaluated, including thermal stability and corrosiveness. The freezing point of the compositions was evaluated at temperatures down to minus 40 °C. The search for stable compositions was carried out for aggressive application conditions: at 90 ° C for models of mineralized formation waters having a total amount of dissolved salts in the range of 100-300 g/l. Ranges including critical concentrations of formulations at which colloidal structures are stable and exhibit maximum surface activity were evaluated. When determining the interfacial tension at the surfactant-hydrocarbon liquid solution boundary, a number of developed compositions showed ultra-low interfacial tension (less than 0.01 mN/m). Biodegradability was evaluated for compositions showing the best properties. According to the results of the assessment, biodegradability was more than 98 %, which reduces environmental risks. The results obtained by the authors show that a number of compositions collected by conductometric method are stable under aggressive conditions and can be used in the field of chemical methods for increasing oil recovery. The resulting compositions were adapted to reduce human factors in subsequent applications. The results reflect the potential of these approaches in adapting and selecting surfactant compositions for chemical waterflooding to enhance oil recovery. The development of technologies for the ethoxylation of higher fatty alcohols allows the manufacturability of processes for the production, collection and treatment of oil and gas. The development of practices for the use of new chemical technologies will expand the capabilities of subsoil users and reduce the risks associated with the use of large-scale chemical products.

Experimental study on the inhibition effect of water mist containing additives on the thermal runaway of lithium battery

The water mist (WM) is currently an important environmentally friendly fire extinguishing agent, offering a distinct advantage in efficiently cooling and inhibiting the thermal runaway (TR) behavior of lithium battery (LIB). Numerous studies have explored the additives of WM to extinguish LIB fires more efficiently. However, the inhibition mechanism of WM containing additives on TR of LIB has not been revealed clearly, and the principle of adding additives remains to be further studied. In this study, three types of non-ionic surfactants are examined and their effects on the maximum temperature during TR and the cooling time of WM are compared. The results indicate that foam induced by the additives has certain advantages in mitigating LIB TR. Further the defoamer is used to modify the foaming performance of the additive solution, and it is found that an appropriate increase in the brittleness of the foam can greatly decrease the highest temperature of the battery during TR moment. These findings can serve as a valuable reference for future applications of WM with additives in the design of battery fire suppression systems.

Formation of Nigella Sativa L. seed oil nanoemulsion‐based delivery systems by sonication: Factors affecting particle size and stability

AbstractDue to their unique functional properties, nanoemulsions help enrich many hydrophobic compounds in water‐based beverages. In this study, using two nonionic surfactants (Tween 40 and Tween 80), separately, nanoemulsions containing Nigella Sativa L. oil were prepared by ultrasound method and tested to determine their size, polydispersity index, morphology, turbidity, and stability during 60 days of storage. In this study, the type of nonionic surfactants used significantly affected the average droplet diameter in the formed systems. Hence, Tween 40 produced tiny droplets, while using Tween 80 produced larger droplets. The comparison of the mean particle sizes by the Duncan method at a 95% confidence level showed that the effect of different surfactant concentrations (2, 4, 6, and 8 wt%) on the particle size was significant. The results showed that the lowest particle size corresponding to the formulation with 4 wt% Tween 40 and the 15‐min sonication was 59.2 nm, and the particle size distribution was monomodal. The results indicated that in the absence of a cosurfactant (glycerol), both pasteurization and boiling processes increased in particle size. However, adding glycerol before the thermal process improved the thermal stability of the samples. The results of this study revealed that ultrasound could be used to prepare nanoemulsions with microscopic particles in the nanometer size without high concentrations of synthetic surfactants.

Synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of ethoxylated lauryl myristyl alcohol as non-ionic surfactants (surfethoxymers)

Abstract In this work, fatty alcohol ethoxylation surfactant PALMEROL 1214 (lauryl myristyl alcohol C12–C14) designated as LMA-EO-30 and novel surface-active monomer (surfethoxymers) such as Hemi Ester Lauryl Myristyl Alcohol Malate designated as HELMEM, HELMEI (itaconate) and HELMES (succinate) have been synthesized. These types of non-ionic surfactant have been characterized for their structures using spectroscopic measurements. In addition, their surface-active properties like surface tension, critical micelle concentration (CMC), HLB, the cloud point and foaming properties were investigated. The results indicated that the novel surfethoxymers HELMEM, HELMEI and HELMES exhibit an excellent surface activity and a high performance in the mentioned industrial applications.

The effect of niosome preparation methods in encapsulating 5-fluorouracil and real time cell assay against HCT-116 colon cancer cell line

The formulation of niosomes is influenced by a number of variables, and these variables may eventually affect the formulation’s outcome. One of the elements that can influence the physico-chemical properties of niosomes is the method used in preparation of the formulation. In this study, we established if various methods of preparation have any impact on the prepared vesicles when loaded with 5-fluorouracil. Thereafter, a real-time cell assay (an in vitro cytotoxicity test) against HCT-116 colon cancer cell lines was done on an optimised batch. 5-fluorouracil loaded niosomes were prepared with either Tween 60 or Span 60 by four different methods - namely thin film hydration (TFH), reverse phase evaporation (RPE), evaporation/sonication (EVP/SON), and the ethanol injection method (EIM). In vitro evaluations were done on the formulations, and these included particle size analysis, entrapment efficiency, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photomicrography, drug release, polydispersity index, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The effects of the preparation method and type of non-ionic surfactants on encapsulation efficiency, particle size, and in vitro drug release of the niosomes at pH 7.4 were evaluated. An in vitro cytotoxicity test (real time cell assay (RTCA)) against HCT-116 cells was carried out using the optimised formulation. Results showed physically stable formulations. The TFH method produced the smallest particle sizes (187 nm and 482 nm), while the EVP/SON method produced the largest particle sizes (4476 nm and 9111 nm). The Tween-based niosomes prepared by TFH or RPE had higher drug entrapment. The FTIR studies of niosomal formulations showed broad peaks at wavenumbers above 3000 cm−1, indicating strong hydrogen bonds. The RTCA showed 5-fluorouracil-loaded niosomes caused more sustained cell death compared to the pure drug and blank niosomes. The methods of preparation affected the particle size, polydispersity index, entrapment efficiency, and the physical stability of the vesicles. The thin film hydration method was more robust in the entrapped 5-fluorouracil and showed lower particle sizes when compared to all the other methods. RTCA showed sustained cell death in real time.

Characterisation of niosome nanoparticles prepared by microfluidic mixing for drug delivery

Lipid nanoparticles have gained much attention due to their potential as drug delivery systems. They are safe, effective, and be targeted to particular tissues to deliver their payload. Niosomes are one type of lipid nanoparticles that comprise non-ionic surfactants which have proven to be effective due to their stability and biocompatibility. Different manufacturing processes have been reported for niosome preparation, but many of them are not scalable or reproducible for pharmaceutical use. In this study, microfluidic mixing was used to prepare niosomes with different lipid compositions by changing the type of non-ionic surfactant. Niosomes were evaluated for their physicochemical characteristics, morphology, encapsulation efficacy, release profiles of atenolol as a model hydrophilic compound, and cytotoxic activities. Microfluidic mixing allows for particle self-assembly and drug loading in a single step, without the need for post-preparation size reduction. Depending on the lipid composition, the empty particles were <90 nm in size with a uniform distribution. A slight but not significant increase in these values was observed when loading atenolol in most of the prepared formulations. All formulations were spherical and achieved variable levels of atenolol encapsulation. Atenolol release was slow and followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model regardless of the surfactant type or the percentage of cholesterol used.

Quality Changes of Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) Recyclates from the Pretreatment Process with a Cationic Surfactant and a Nonionic Surfactant as Cleaning Agents Upstream of Extrusion

Low-density polyethylene is the most applied packaging plastic. The recycling rate of LDPE is low, especially for the material from the post-consumer source. The quality of the LDPE post-consumer recyclates is influenced by different contaminations, either intentionally or non-intentionally. Printing ink is one of the substances that is regarded as having a negative influence on the quality of LDPE recyclates. This study used a new type of nonionic surfactant oxirane, methyl-, polymer for de-inking as a pretreatment. Afterward, the LDPE film flakes were mechanically recycled in the laboratory. A melt flow index (MFI), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and tensile strength analysis were carried out. This work reported the de-inking effect of a new type of nonionic surfactant. However, no evidential correlation between the rate of color removal and the improvement in the rheological, thermal, and mechanical properties can be identified from the result of this study.

Lubricity performance of non-ionic surfactants in high-solid drilling fluids: A perspective from quantum chemical calculations and filtration properties

Quantum chemical calculations and mud filtration analysis were used to assess the performance of three types of non-ionic surfactants as lubricating additives in synthetic-based drilling mud (SBM) contaminated with drilled solids. High solid contaminants can have an impact on mud lubricity and can contribute to thicker a mud cake. Experimental results showed that all non-ionic surfactants reduced the coefficient of friction (COF) of mud by approximately 27%. Quantum chemical parameters and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) provided further insights into the interaction between non-ionic surfactants and metal surfaces. MEP indicated the most lubricious non-ionic surfactant based on polar sites and the electron density distribution. Dipole moment represented the dipole interaction between the polar head of non-ionic surfactant with the metal surface of the drilling tools. Filtration tests showed that despite solid contamination, non-ionic surfactants decreased the fluid loss by 20% due to better solid dispersion in the mud. The mud cake formed was thinner, which may reduce the differential pressure sticking tendency. XRD and SEM observations of the mud cake confirmed the presence of non-ionic surfactants layer adsorbed to the solid particles of SBM. The adsorbed non-ionic surfactants could contribute to a higher lubricity of mud cake, thus minimizing friction during drilling.

The Salinity-Phase-Inversion method (SPI-slope): A straightforward experimental approach to assess the hydrophilic-lipophilic-ratio and the salt-sensitivity of surfactants

HypothesisThe salinity at which the dynamic phase inversion of the reference system C10E4/n-Octane/Water occurs in the presence of increasing amounts of a test surfactant S2 provides quantitative information on the hydrophilic/lipophilic ratio and on the sensitivity to NaClaq of S2. ExperiencesThe Salinities causing the Phase Inversion (SPI) of the reference system mixed with 12 ionic and 10 nonionic well-defined surfactants are determined in order to quantify the contributions of the nature of the polar head and of the alkyl chain length. FindingsThe SPI varies linearly upon the addition of S2. The slope of the straight variation with the molar fraction of S2 is called the “SPI-slope”. It quantifies the hydrophilic/lipophilic ratio of S2 in saline environment and its salt-sensitivity with respect to the reference surfactant C10E4. The SPI-slopes of C12 surfactants bearing different polar heads are found to decrease in the following order: C12NMe3Br > C12E8 > C12E7 ≥C12SO3Na ≈ C12COONa ≥ C12SO4Na > C12E6 > C12E5 > C12E3. This classification is different from that obtained when the phase inversion is caused by a change in temperature (PIT-slope method) because the addition of NaCl in significant amounts (3 to 10 wt%) partially screens the ionic heads and diminishes their apparent hydrophilicities. A simple model, valid for all types of nonionic surfactants, is developed on the basis of the HLDN equation (Normalized Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Deviation) to express the SPI-slope as a function of the hydrophilic/lipophilic ratio (PACN2) and the salinity coefficient (δ2) of S2. All studied surfactants are positioned on a 2D map according to the values of their SPI-slope and their PIT-slope to graphically highlight their hydrophilic/lipophilic ratio and their salt-sensitivity. Finally, a linear model connecting the PIT-slope and the SPI-slope is derived for nonionics, emphasizing that the thermal partitioning of C10E4 towards n-octane is much greater in the PIT-slope than in the SPI-slope experiments.

Ultrasonic-assisted cloud point microextraction and spectrophotometric determination of Ponceau 4R in various beverage samples using Non-ionic surfactant PONPE 7.5

ABSTRACT In the current study, a simple, cheap, and fast analytical procedure, termed ultrasonic-assisted cloud point microextraction (UA-CPME), combined with UV-VIS spectrophotometry, was developed for the pre-concentration and identification of Ponceau 4R in some beverage samples. Ponceau 4R was extracted from aqueous solution using polyethylene glycol mono-p-nonylphenyl ether (PONPE 7.5) as extraction solvent in the presence of Cu(II) at pH 6.0. Variables influencing the UA-CPME extraction efficiency such as pH, metal type and amount, temperature, ultrasonic effect, solvent type, non-ionic surfactant type and concentration were optimised in detail. Under optimum conditions, the analytical properties of the developed method were as follows: linear working range, 20–750 μg L−1; limit of detection, 6.5 µg L−1; and the pre-concentration factor, 200. The relative standard deviation (RSD%) obtained for 50 µg L−1 (n = 5) of Ponceau 4R was 2.9%. The accuracy and precision of the method were evaluated by intra-day and inter-day studies. Finally, the developed method has been successfully applied to the separation and identification of Ponceau 4R in the selected samples and the recoveries ranged from 94.3 to 104.2%

Comparative study of surface-active and biological properties of lactose-derived acylhydrazones

In this study, we report the first preparation of a series of lactose-derived acylhydrazone compounds with alkyl side chains ranging from 5 to 10 carbons in length through condensation reactions as a new type of nonionic surfactants. The surface-active, foaming properties, emulsifying properties, thermal stability as well as cytotoxicity were studied to establish the structure-property profile, which revealed that the acylhydrazone derivatives bearing medium-length side chains had better overall performance than their analogs and other selected commercial references. The results could serve as basis for the further development of lactose-derived acylhydrazones as emulsifiers in, for example, food and pharmaceutical industries.

Effect of non-ionic surfactants on the adsorption of polycyclic aromatic compounds at water/oil interface: A molecular simulation study

HypothesisMolecular simulations can provide unique insights into the adsorption and intermolecular interactions of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) and non-ionic surfactants at water/oil interface. MethodsMolecular dynamic simulations were performed to study the adsorption of PACs at water/oil interface, and the effect of adding non-ionic surfactants. PAC architecture, solvent type, structure and concentration of non-ionic surfactants were varied to address the complex interplay between PAC-surfactant interaction, PAC solubility, and structure-dependent PAC aggregation. FindingsPACs with multiple cores (PacM) partially adsorbed on the interface, in the form of small and loosely structured aggregates. Adding non-ionic surfactant Brij-93 induced desorption of PacM at both water/toluene and water/heptane interfaces. Another non-ionic surfactant, (EO)5(PO)10(EO)5, also reduced the adsorption of PacM at water/toluene interface but enhanced their adsorption at water/heptane interface. PACs with a single large core strongly adsorbed on both interfaces, forming compact aggregated structures. Adding the two types of non-ionic surfactants did not induce desorption. This work identified two opposite roles of non-ionic surfactants in the adsorption of PACs, namely competition and co-adsorption, and provided useful insights into how the roles of non-ionic surfactants might be affected by their concentration, as well as the solubility and interfacial behaviors of the PACs.

Polymer-Free Injectable In Situ Forming Nanovesicles as a New Platform for Controlled Parenteral Drug Delivery Systems

In this study, the preparation of self-assembled polymer-free in situ forming nanovesicles (ISNs) based on non-ionic surfactants (NISs) is presented. A 22·41 full factorial experimental design was adopted for the development of novel polymer-free ISNs loaded with tenoxicam utilizing the emulsion method. The type of NIS (Brij® 52 or Span® 60), the cholesterol percentage (30, 50, or 60 w/w%), and the internal phase percentage (20 or 30 v/v%) were chosen as the independent variables. Percentage drug released after 1 h (Q1), vesicle particle size (PS), and mean dissolution time (MDT) were the dependent variables. Selected formulation was investigated morphologically using transmission electron microscopy. Results revealed that the formation had spherical dense shape. All independent factors significantly affected the percentage drug release after the first hour (Q1), and the MDT, while only the type of NIS had a significant effect on PS. The highest control of drug release was observed in formulation containing Span® 60 with lower internal phase percentage (MDT = 20.06 ± 0.40 h) as well as the smallest PS (123.75 ± 16.68 nm). The obtained results indicated the potentiality of the invented ISNs in controlling the release of tenoxicam in a desirable economical biphasic pattern compared to other in situ formulations.

Ordered reticulated-structured carbon foams via surfactant-addition into the polymerization medium of bio-based polyols

In the solvolytic liquefaction reaction of biomass, biopolymers are produced by bond-breakage in the complex lignocellulosic composition using the appropriate solvent and functionalizing the related fragments under mild conditions. The utilization of these bio-polyols as carbon sources has enhanced the conspicuous relevance in the handling of agroforestry by-products as an alternative to fossil fuel-based sources, taking into account the terms sustainability and environmental impact. In this study, a green and inexpensive method based on the resinification and subsequent foaming of bio-polyols produced by solvolytic liquefaction of the tree bark was adopted to synthesize carbon foams with a well-developed hierarchical porous structure. The novelty of this study to brighten the studies in the literature was to examine the characteristics of biomass-based carbon foams produced by adding two types of non-ionic surfactants (P123 and PEG3000) into the synthesis medium at different surfactant/biomass ratios (0.15 and 0.20 w/w). This study comprises a promising technique that promotes self-foaming in the existence of non-ionic surfactants to produce reticulated carbon foams from forest industry wastes with porous graphitic structure, high surface area (up to 758 m2/g), and controlled pore size distribution in the micro-pore region (dp<2 nm).

Surface Adsorption Properties and Layer Structures of Homogeneous Polyoxyethylene-Type Nonionic Surfactants in Quaternary-Ammonium-Salt-Type Amphiphilic Gemini Ionic Liquids with Oxygen- or Nitrogen-Containing Spacers.

The amphiphilic ionic liquids containing an alkyl chain in molecules form nano-structure in the bulk, although they also show surface activity and form aggregates in aqueous solutions. Although insights into the layer structures of ionic liquids were obtained using X-ray and neutron scattering techniques, the nanostructures of ionic liquids remain unclear. Herein, the surface adsorption and bulk properties of homogeneous polyoxyethylene (EO)-type nonionic surfactants (CxEO6; x = 8, 12, or 16) were elucidated in quaternary-ammonium-salt-type amphiphilic gemini ionic liquids with oxygen or nitrogen-containing spacers [2Cn(Spacer) NTf2; (Spacer) = (2-O-2), (2-O-2-O-2), (2-N-2), (2/2-N-2), (3), (5), or (6); n = 10, 12, or 14 for (2-O-2) and n = 12 for all other spacers] by surface tension, small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, and viscosity measurements. The surface tension of C12EO6 in 2Cn(Spacer) NTf2 with oxygen-containing spacers increased with increasing concentration of C12EO6, becoming close to that of C12EO6 alone, indicating that the amphiphilic ionic liquid adsorbed at the interface was replaced with CxEO6. In contrast, both 2Cn(Spacer) NTf2 with nitrogen-containing spacers and nonionic surfactants remained adsorbed at the interface at high concentrations. In the bulk, it was found that 2Cn(Spacer) NTf2 formed layer structures, in which the spacing depended on the alkyl chain length of CxEO6. These insights are expected to advance the practical applications of amphiphilic ionic liquids such as ion permeation, drug solubilization, and energy delivery systems.

Formulation of Creams Containing Spirulina Platensis Powder with Different Nonionic Surfactants for the Treatment of Acne Vulgaris.

Natural products used in the treatment of acne vulgaris may be promising alternative therapies with fewer side effects and without antibiotic resistance. The objective of this study was to formulate creams containing Spirulina (Arthrospira) platensis to be used in acne therapy. Spirulina platensis belongs to the group of micro algae and contains valuable active ingredients. The aim was to select the appropriate nonionic surfactants for the formulations in order to enhance the diffusion of the active substance and to certify the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of Spirulina platensis-containing creams. Lyophilized Spirulina platensis powder (SPP) was dissolved in Transcutol HP (TC) and different types of nonionic surfactants (Polysorbate 60 (P60), Cremophor A6:A25 (CR) (1:1), Tefose 63 (TFS), or sucrose ester SP 70 (SP70)) were incorporated in creams as emulsifying agents. The drug release was evaluated by the Franz diffusion method and biocompatibility was tested on HaCaT cells. In vitro antioxidant assays were also performed, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays were executed. Antimicrobial activities of the selected compositions were checked against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) (formerly Propionibacterium acnes) with the broth microdilution method. Formulations containing SP 70 surfactant with TC showed the most favorable dissolution profiles and were found to be nontoxic. This composition also showed significant increase in free radical scavenger activity compared to the blank sample and the highest SOD enzyme activity was also detected after treatment with the cream samples. In antibacterial studies, significant differences were observed between the treated and control groups after an incubation time of 6 h.

Dye‐Doped Silica Nanoparticles for Enhanced ECL‐Based Immunoassay Analytical Performance

AbstractThe combination of highly sensitive techniques such as electrochemiluminescence (ECL) with nanotechnology sparked new analytical applications, in particular for immunoassay‐based detection systems. In this context, nanomaterials, particularly dye‐doped silica nanoparticles (DDSNPs) are of high interest, since they can offer several advantages in terms of sensitivity and performance. In this work we synthesized two sets of monodispersed and biotinylated [Ru(bpy)3]2+‐doped silica nanoparticles, named bio‐Triton@RuNP and bio‐Igepal@RuNP, obtained following the reverse microemulsion method using two different types of nonionic surfactants. Controlling the synthetic procedures, we were able to obtain nanoparticles (NPs) offering highly intense signal, using tri‐n‐propylamine (TPrA) as coreactant, with bio‐Triton@RuNps being more efficient than bio‐Igepal@RuNP.

High holding power of acrylic emulsion PSA with sorbitan nonionic surfactants and cross-linker

Since traditional nonyl phenyl type nonionic surfactants have been known as destructive to the ecosystem, sorbitan nonionic surfactants (Tween 20, 40, 60 and 80) were used to make acrylic emulsion type pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA), and the type of effects they have on the adhesive properties were investigated. Also, their adhesive properties were compared with those synthesized using traditional nonyl phenyl nonionic surfactant (NP 40). As a result, PSA made using Tween60 showed higher initial tack and peel strength and a much higher holding power than those properties made using NP 40 at room temperature. PSA made by Tween 60, and cross-linked by DGEBA (Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether) and phenyl aziridine, exhibited over 12 h of holding power at 150 °C, and showed a holding state up to 180 °C during a SAFT test (Shear Adhesion Failure Temperature).
