Adsorption of Some Alkyloxyethylene Pyridinium Chlorides at Solid-Water Interface

Abstract:

The adsorption of cetylalkyl pyridinium and alkyloxyethylene pyridinium chlorides at the silica-alumina water interface at ph =7 and 25 0C was analyzed to determine the type of interaction between surfactant molecules and solid substrat between adsorbed adiacent molecules and with the surfactant molecules in the equilibrium water solution. The experimental adsorption isotherm for the entire concentration range consists of four regions with the maximum adsorption attained at the critical micelle concentration of each surfactant in aqueous solutions. Different models and equations of adsorption suitable to describe different types of forces implicated in adsorption of cationic surfactant at the opposite charged solid surfaces were applied. The free energy of adsorption, free energy of hydrophobic interaction and mean surface aggregation number were calculated. Insertion of oxyethylene groups leads to the increase of the hydrophobicity of these cationic surfactants. From the calculated free energy of adsorption through electrostatic and van der Waals interactions different surface structures were attributed to each region: neutralization of electrical charges, formation of hemimicelles, admicelles and bilayers.
