The Effect of Dissolved Oils and Alcohols on the CMC of Synthetic and Petroleum Sulfonates

  • Chapter
Solution Chemistry of Surfactants

Abstract

The CMC of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate was determined using surface tension, light scattering and electrical conductivity measurements. It is shown that the presence of alcohol or oil decreases the CMC. The decrease in CMC depends on the chain length of dissolved alcohol or oil. For oils of different chain length, it was observed that the higher the chain length of oil, the greater is the decrease in CMC.
