Solubilization of Hydrocarbons in Micelles Molar solubilization ratio of hydrocarbons in 0.1 M
solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate at 25oC, plotted as a
function of the volume – interfacial activity parameter (volume refers
to that of the solubilizate and the interfacial activity is represented by
the interfacial tension between the solubilizate and water). The five solubilizates are benzene, toluene, cyclohexane, n-hexane
and n-decane, respectively. The experimental data
are shown by circles while predictions of the model are represented by
triangles. |

Solubilization of
binary hydrocarbon mixtures in surfactant micelles Dependence of the molar solubilization ratio of benzene
and hexane on the composition of the hydrocarbon phase in contact when binary
mixtures of the two hydrocarbons are solubilized in 0.1 M solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate at 25oC . Points are experimental data while
the continuous lines represent the predictions of the molecular theory. |
