Synthesis and Properties of Di-n-hexadecyl-α,ω-Alkyl Bisphosphate Surfactants
Authors: Tyagi P. , Tyagi R. 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
Amphipatic compounds with connecting group between two lipophilic groups were prepared by phosphorylating a long chain alcohol (hexadecanol) with pyrophosphoric acid to prepare hexadecyl phosphate. Then the resulting hexadecyl phosphate was used to prepare bisphosphate surfactants with terminal dibromo alkanes viz. 1,4-dibromo butane or 1,6-dibromo hexane or 1,8-dibromo octane using acetonitrile as solvent. The structure of synthesized products were verified by modern analytical techniques viz. FT-IR, and 1H-NMR. The disodium salts of bisphosphate surfactants were obtained by neutralization of free acid with sodium hydroxide. The performance properties viz. foaming, wetting, emulsifying ability and anionic content of synthesized surfactants were also evaluated. The synthesized bisphosphate surfactant with 1,6-dibromo hexane possessed maximum anionic content and showed good water solubility, foaming, wetting, and emulsifying ability compared to conventional analogs.

Abstract
The interest in biosurfactant has increased considerably due to their large potential for industrial applications. Rhamnolipid is a simplest class of biosurfactants with well defined structure. The main obstacle in commercialization of biosurfactant especially rhamnolipids is the higher cost of the production. Glycerol is readily available from commercial fat-splitting process in the form of sweet water (up to 20% w/v) at very low cost. Two natural strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 10145 and ATCC 9027) were compared for rhamnolipid production. The neotype strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 10145) was found to produce more amounts of rhamnolipids than Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 9027) on glucose and glycerol as carbon source. The microbial growth (0.94 g/L) and formation of rhamnolipids (2.75 g/L) was maximum at 5% (w/v) glycerol concentration by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 10145). The fermentation was monitored for 8 days on shake flask and magnetically stirred batch culture. In magnetically stirred batch culture, microbial growth was 0.69 g/L and 2.73 g/L of rhamnolipid was formed. Sweet water was also used as a source of glycerol.

Published: December 2013

Abstract
Three novel dialkyl disulfonate gemini surfactants (Cn-6-Cn, n = 6, 8, 12; n is carbon number of hydrophobic chain) were synthesized from cyanuric chloride, aliphatic amine and taurine. The chemical structures of the prepared compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR spectra and ESI-MS. Their critical micelle concentrations (CMC) in the aqueous solutions at 25°C were determined by surface-tension method. With the increasing length of the hydrophobic carbon chain, the values of their CMC decreased. The surface tension measurements of Cn-6-Cn give low CMC, great efficiency in lowering the surface tension, and strong adsorption at air–water interface. In addition, adsorption and micellization behavior of Cn-6-Cn were estimated by the parameter of pC20, the minimum average area per surfactant molecule (Amin).
Micellization and Interfacial Behaviour of Amitriptyline-Nonionic Surfactant Systems in Aqueous Medium
Authors: Kabir-ud-Din  , Naqvi A. Z. , Khan A. B. 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
By means of surface tension measurement (ring detachment method) mixed micellization and mixed adsorbed film formation were studied between an amphiphilic drug (amitriptyline hydrochloride – AMT) and nonionic surfactants (Tritons and Tweens) at different mole fractions. From the equilibrium surface tension measurements critical micelle concentration (CMC), maximum surface excess (Γmax) and minimum area per surfactant molecule at the air/solution interface (Amin) were obtained. The theories of Rosen, Rubingh and Maeda were applied to analyse the results. Different thermodynamic parameters, viz. free energy of micellization (ΔGo
m), standard Gibbs energy of adsorption (ΔGo
ads), and minimum energy of surface (Gmin) were evaluated. In the mixed micelles, presence of nonionic surfactants between the head groups of drug molecules decreases the repulsion among head groups. As a result, the CMC and Amin decrease while Γmax increases. Interaction parameters of micelles (βm) and monolayer (βs) indicate that the drug surfactant systems show better interaction at the interface than in micelles.

Authors: Rezki N. , Sidhoum M. Ait , Aouad M. R. , Ilikti H. , Benabdallah T. 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
An environmentally benign aqueous alkylation protocol for the regioselective synthesis of thioalkylated imidazoles using cationic, anionic and neutral surfactants has been achieved. The efficiency of the coupling reaction depends strongly on the nature and the concentration of the surfactant. The highest yield (up to 94%) was obtained in the presence of an anionic surfactant, while neutral or cationic surfactants gave poorer results with no change in regioselectivity.
Influence of Surfactants on the Performance of Calcium Phosphate Scale Inhibitors
Authors: Amjad Z. 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
The pH-stat technique was used to study the influence of various types of surfactants on the performance of polymers used as inhibitors for preventing the precipitation of calcium phosphate in industrial water systems. Four types of surfactants were evaluated: 1) anionic, 2) non-ionic, 3) amphoteric, and 4) cationic. The polymeric inhibitors studied include homo-, co-, and terpolymers containing different functional groups such as carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid, ester, and amide. It has been found that polymer dosage and polymer architecture play important roles in inhibiting calcium phosphate precipitation. The results on the evaluation of surfactants reveal that all surfactants are ineffective calcium phosphate inhibitors. Comparative inhibition data collected for various calcium phosphate inhibiting polymers in the presence surfactants containing different ionic charges are presented. Results are also discussed on the influence of cationic polymeric flocculant in preventing the precipitation of calcium phosphate by anionic polymeric inhibitors.
An Efficient and Mild Procedure for the Preparation of Aldonic Acids via Oxidation of D-Sucrose by Employing N-Bromophthalimide Oxidant and Micellar System
Authors: Katre Y. , Singh M. , Singh A. K. 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
The oxidation reactions of D-sucrose have been carried out with N-bromophthalimide in the presence of micellar aggregates at 45°C. The kinetics revealed first order dependence on N-bromophthalimide (NBP) and fractional order dependence on D-sucrose. Variation of mercuric acetate concentration has an insignificant effect on reaction rate. The stoichiometric ratio of NBP:D-sucrose was 1:2 and the oxidation product was aldonic acid confirmed by FeCl3–HCl test. The influence of salts on the reaction rate has also been studied. Phthalimide (NHP) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) inhibit the rate. Thermodynamic and activation parameters have been evaluated and a mechanism consistent with the kinetic data has been proposed. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and TritonX-100 (TX-100) catalyze the reaction, while sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) inhibits the rate of reaction. The applicability of Berezin's model was tested to explain the observed micellar effects. The rate constants (kM) and binding constants (KS + KO) have been evaluated.

Published: December 2013

Abstract
A new kind of surfactants with chelating properties named N-acylethylenediamine triacetate (N-acyl ED3A) of different hydrocarbon chain lengths were synthesized from anhydrous ethylene diamine, fatty acid chlorides (Capryloyl, lauroyl, myristoyl, palmitoyl, stearoyl or oleoyl chloride) and chloroacetic acid. The chemical structures of the prepared compounds were confirmed using different spectroscopic techniques, primarily Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. The surface properties including surface and interfacial tension, foaming height, emulsification power, calcium ion stability, stability to hydrolysis and critical micelle concentration (CMC) were determined. The trisodium N-acylethylenediamine triacetates have been found to combine the properties of strong surfactancy, extreme mildness with a high tolerance to water hardness, and ability to chelate metal ions, which indicates a promising application prospect in many fields.

Authors: Wróblewska E. K. , Gąsiorowska M. 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
The work refers to the already published modification of widely used method for anionic active agents determination which concerns the replacement of the mixed indicator, consisting of Acid Blue 1 and carcinogenic Dimidium Bromide, applied in the International Standard ISO 2271:1989 with solvatochromic dye i.e. 5-(3-bromo-4-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl)-7,7-dimethyl-7H-indolo[1,2-a]quinolinium perchlorate (1). The value of pKa for examined dye (1) amounts to 6.59 thus the influence of different pH values of the probes on the analysis results was studied i.e. precision of determination of titration endpoint and the same the result of the quantitative analysis. The change of pH for aqueous and apparent pH for organic phase were determined during the titration process. It was shown that there is no effect of the pH change in its range varying from 3.5 to 5 on the results. The modification of the method for the probes which pH do not fit to the range mentioned above is presented.
Impact of Surfactants on the Efficacy of Iron Oxide Dispersants
Authors: Amjad Z. 
Published: December 2013

AbstractSurfactants form a unique class of compounds that are used in a variety of applications including laundry detergents, dish washing liquids, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, petroleum processing, mineral ores, personal care, floor cleaners, paints, coatings, fuel additives, and photographic films. In the present work a variety of surfactants containing different functional groups (i.e., anionic, non-ionic, amphoteric, cationic) has been used to study their influence on the performance of polymeric iron oxide dispersants. Effects of dispersant dosage, time, and polymer architecture have been investigated. The polymers tested include homopolymers of acrylic acid, maleic acid, methacrylic acid, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic, 2-ethyloxazoline, and acrylic acid, maleic acid based copolymers containing different functional groups. It has been found that polymer performance as dispersant depends on dosage and polymer architecture. Results on the evaluation of surfactants suggest that compared to polymers, surfactants are ineffective iron oxide dispersants. Results on the impact of cationic surfactant (e.g., cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride, CTAC) suggest that CTAC exhibits an antagonistic effect on the performance of polymers. It has also been found that cationic polymer (e.g., polydiallyldimethyl ammonium chloride) shows much stronger antagonistic effect than CTAC on the efficacy of polymers used as iron oxide dispersants in industrial water systems. The antagonistic behavior shown by cationic surfactant and cationic polymer on the performance of polymers has been explained in terms of cationic – anionic interactions.

Published: December 2013

Abstract
Functional monomer [N-(2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2-yl)acrylamide] was synthesized and characterized by MS and NMR. A series of high molecular weight cationic polyacrylamides were prepared with N-(2,4,4-trimethylpentan-2-yl)acrylamide, acrylamide and methacryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride by copolymerization using complex initiation systems as catalysts in aqueous solution. Then they used as flocculants to treat the paper-making wastewater. The removal of the colour and the chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the treated waste water samples were determined. Results showed that flocculants could efficiently remove the color and the COD. The overall color and COD removal efficiencies reached as high as 80% and 85%, respectively.

Published: December 2013

Abstract
Exposure and effect assessments including risk characterisation of the surfactants alcohol ethoxylates, alcohol ethoxysulphates and linear alkylbenzene sulphonates used in household detergents were conducted. Predicted environmental concentrations were calculated by use of traditional methods and detailed transport and fate modelling. Predicted no effect concentrations were derived from the available information on the acute and chronic aquatic toxicity. Risk characterisation ratios were defined as the ratio of the predicted environmental concentration to the predicted no effect concentration. Risk characterisation ratios were calculated for fresh water and marine water and were below 1. This indicates that based on the methods employed in this study the use of alcohol ethoxylates, alcohol ethoxysulphates and linear alkylbenzene sulphonate in household detergents does not appear to present a risk to the aquatic environment.

Published: December 2013

Abstract
One pot facile synthesis of ordered mesoporous alumina-supported zirconia with high thermal stability and large pore sizes by evaporation-induced method was systematically investigated. The strategy based on a sol-gel process associated with nonionic triblock copolymers PPO-PEO-PPO as templates in ethanolic solution. Small-angle XRD, TEM, and nitrogen adsorption and desorption results showed that these composites possessed an ordered 2D hexagonal mesostructure, resisted to high temperature up to 1000 °C, and had large surface areas and narrow pore-size distributions. Loaded with palladium, the mesoporous alumina-zirconia composite exhibited high catalytic activity in Suzuki coupling of 2-bromotoluene with phenylboronic acid.

Published: December 2013

Abstract
In this paper a new protocol to support comparative testing of European laundry detergents is described. This protocol has been developed by A.I.S.E., the International Association for Soaps, Detergents and Maintenance products, to assess the primary (i. e., stain removal) and key secondary performance (whiteness, colour safety and colour transfer) of Household Laundry Detergents and Laundry Additives.
The main purpose of designing and supporting a minimum test protocol across A.I.S.E. members and external stakeholders has been to improve the available comparative testing methodologies, while it is not intended to become a standard methodology in the detergent industry.
This was carried out by setting minimum requirements for a reliable comparison of detergent quality which is particularly important for test institutes and consumer organisations running comparative performance tests.

Authors: Alam Sultan , Khan Mashooq , Sadiq Mohammad , Hussain Zahid , Amin Noorul 
Published: December 2013

AbstractRemoval of Pb(II) ion from aqueous solution on modified sawdust obtained from Morus alba was investigated. The sample was characterized by BET surface area, EDX, FTIR and Zeta potential technique. The surface contains carbonyl and hydroxyl functional groups which act as binding sites for Pb(II) ion. Adsorption kinetics of Pb(II) on sawdust was tested by pseudo first order, Elovich and parabolic diffusion kinetic equations. The adsorption data were found to fit to Freundlich, Langmuir and Tempkin isotherms. The rate of adsorption was high at high temperature. Thermodynamic parameters like ΔH, ΔS and ΔG were calculated from the kinetic data. The positive values of ΔS reflect some structural exchange among the active site of the adsorbent and metal ion. The negative values of Gibbs free energy (ΔG) show the spontaneous nature of the process.
Biodegradable Polyoxyethylenated Pentaerythritol Quaternary Esters as Oil Spill Dispersants
Authors: Abdel-Raouf Manar El-Sayed 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
Four polyoxyethylenated pentaerythritol (PE) ester surfactants have been synthesized. The molecular weights of these surfactants were calculated and evaluated experimentally by GPC and confirmed by calculations based on 1H-NMR. Also, their HLB values were calculated by Griffin formula. The surface tension and thermodynamic properties of the surfactants were obtained from surface tension measurements at different temperatures (298 – 318 K). It was found that the minimum area/surfactant molecule (Amin) for the investigated surfactants increased with increasing the molecular weight of the incorporated ethylene oxide. The thermodynamic parameters of micellization (ΔGmic, ΔHmic and ΔSmic) and that for adsorption (ΔGad, ΔHad and ΔSad) were also calculated. The more negative Gibbs free energy of adsorption values than those of micellization suggest that these surfactants favor adsorption than micellization. This finding is utilized for monitoring their dispersancy power. It was found that the water solubility of the prepared surfactants is correlated to their HLB values. Furthermore, the biodegradability of the prepared compounds was studied at different conditions in order to investigate their usability as oil spill dispersants. The data revealed that PE200-C12 had maximum dispersion efficiency and it was completely biodegraded after 8 days.
Biosurfactants as Antimicrobial Ingredients for Cleaning Products and Cosmetics
Authors: Bockmühl Dirk 
Published: December 2013

Abstract
A considerable number of biosurfactants have been investigated for their antibacterial, antifungal or antiviral activity that is mostly based on the ability to destroy microbial cell membranes. In addition, some of them are also able to inhibit the adhesion of microorganisms to surfaces and tissues. Although these antimicrobial properties can be generally explained by a strong detergency effect, there are further mechanisms, such as the interaction with membrane phospholipids or the alteration of the electrical conductance of membranes, resulting in the damage of microbial cells. Typically, antimicrobially active biosurfactants are glycolipids (e.g. rhamnolipids) or cyclic lipopeptides (e.g. Polymyxin). Since most of these substances were not available in larger quantities in the past, their potential applications in cleaners and cosmetics was not studied intensely, however, their versatility and the possibility of combining different properties, such as cleaning and antimicrobial effects, suggest a further consideration of biosurfactants even for mass-market products.

Published: December 2013

Abstract
A novel environmentally friendly type of calcium carbonate and iron(III) scale inhibitor (ALn) was synthesized. The anti-scale property of the Acrylic acid-allylpolyethoxy carboxylate copolymer (AA-APELn or ALn) towards CaCO3 and iron(III) in the artificial cooling water was studied through static scale inhibition tests. The observation shows that both calcium carbonate and iron(III) inhibition increase with increasing the degree of polymerization of ALn from 5 to 15, and the dosage of ALn plays an important role on calcium carbonate and iron(III)-inhibition. The effect on formation of CaCO3 was investigated with a combination of scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, respectively. The results showed that the ALn copolymer not only influences calcium carbonate crystal morphology and crystal size but also the crystallinity. The crystallization of CaCO3 in the absence of inhibitor was rhombohedral calcite crystal, whereas a mixture of calcite with vaterite crystals was found in the presence of the ALn copolymer. Inhibition mechanism is proposed that the interactions between calcium or iron ions and polyethylene glycol (PEG) are the fundamental impetus to restrain the formation of the scale in cooling water systems.

Published: December 2013

Abstract
Bitumen emulsions are preferred over conventional pavement systems due to their biologically and environmentally acceptable formulation, safety, low viscosity, storage stability, and cost effectiveness. The present investigation deals with the systematic study to synthesize ortho-cocodi-amido toluene and four quaternary derivatives by amidation of coconut oil and ortho toluene diamine (OTD), followed by quaternization with formaldehyde, formic acid mixture, and acrylonitrile, resulted in a new quaternary compound useful as cationic emulsifier in bitumen emulsions. The roles of temperature and reaction time in determining optimum conditions were investigated as well. Emulsifying behavior of these quaternary compounds was studied by sieve residue test, settlement and storage stability test of emulsified asphalt, and water solubility. The results show that the acrylonitrile imidazolinium derivative of o-cocodi-amido toluene (VI) can be used as a rapid-medium setting emulsifier.
