Abstract
In this paper, hydroxymethyl cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (HM-CTAC) was prepared from cetyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (CTAC) and formaldehyde with different molar ratios (1:1 to 1: 4). The effects of reaction conditions (molar ratio) on surface properties were studied, including surface tension, foaming ability, high temperature resistance, methanol resistance and salt resistance. The results show that the minimum surface tension of HM-CTAC is lower than that of CTAC, and HM-CTAC (1:1) has the lowest surface tension of 31.89 mN · m–1. The foam volume of HM-CTAC with different molar ratios is higher than that of CTAC, and HM-CTAC (1:4) has a high foam volume of 435 mL. Compared to CTAC, the HM-CTAC under different reaction conditions has higher temperature resistance. At the methanol content of 10 wt.%, the initial foam volume of HM-CTAC is higher than that of CTAC, and the initial foam volume of HM-CTAC (1:2) is the highest with a volume of 21.5 mL. Among all the surfactants prepared under different reaction conditions, HM-CTAC (1:3) has the highest salt resistance with a relatively stable change in foam volume under different salt contents.
Abstract
In dieser Arbeit wurde Hydroxymethylcetyltrimethylammoniumchlorid (HM-CTAC) aus Cetyltrimethylammoniumchlorid (CTAC) und Formaldehyd hergestellt, wobei CTAC und Formaldehyd in unterschiedlichen Molverhältnissen (1 : 1 bis 1 : 4) eingegsetzt wurden. Die Auswirkungen der Reaktionsbedingungen (= Molverhältnisse), auf die Oberflächeneigenschaften inklusive Oberflächenspannung, Schaumvermögen, Hochtemperaturbeständigkeit, Methanolbeständigkeit und Salzbeständigkeit wurden untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die minimale Oberflächenspannung von HM-CTAC niedriger ist als die von CTAC. HM-CTAC, das bei einem CTAC-Formaldehyd-Molverhältnis von 1 : 1 erzeugt worden ist, hat die niedrigste Oberflächenspannung von 31,89 mN m–1. Das Schaumvolumen von HM-CTAC mit unterschiedlichen Molverhältnissen ist höher als das von CTAC, und HM-CTAC (1:4) hat ein hohes Schaumvolumen von 435 mL. Im Vergleich zu CTAC weist HMCTAC unter verschiedenen Reaktionsbedingungen (Molverhältnissen) eine höhere Temperaturbeständigkeit auf. Bei einem Methanolgehalt von 10 Gew.-%, ist das anfängliche Schaumvolumen vonHM-CTAC höher als das von CTAC, und das anfängliche Schaumvolumen von HM-CTAC (1:2) ist mit einem Volumen von 21,5 mL am höchsten. Von allen Tensiden, die unter verschiedenen Reaktionsbedingungen hergestellt wurden, weist HM-CTAC (1:3) die höchste Salzbeständigkeit mit einer relativ stabilen Änderung des Schaumvolumens unter verschiedenen Salzgehalten auf.
