Abstract

The phase diagrams at 298.2 K for the systems heptylammonium heptanoate-heptane-water, butylammonium decanoate-butanol-decane-water and butylammonium decanoate-butanol-decane-sodium chloride (aq) have been determined. A large three-phase region and an extensive microemulsion phase were obtained for the heptylammonium heptanoate system. Addition of both cosurfactant and electrolyte brings about a separation into three phases in the butylammonium decanoate-water system. All three-phase systems were characterized by low inter-facial tensions. Sound velocity, conductivity, and viscosity measurements were used successfully for qualitative studies of microstructural transitions in the isotropic microemulsion phase.

Kurzfassung

Die Phasendiagramme für die Systeme Heptylammoniumheptanoat in einem Heptan-Wassergemisch, Butylammoniumdekanoat in einem Butanol-Dekan-Wasergemisch und Butylammoniumdekanoat in einem Gemisch aus Butanol, Dekan und Natriumchlorid (aq) wurden bei 298.2 Kbestimmt. Eine großes Dreiphasengebiet und eine ausgedehnte Mikroemulsionsphase wurde für das Heptylammoniumheptanoat-System erhalten. Der Zusatz von Co-Tensid und Elektrolyt im Butylammoniumdekanoat-Wasser-System führt zu einer Trennung in drei Phasen. Alle Dreiphasen-Systeme sind mit niedriger Grenzflächenspannung gekennzeichnet. Für qualitative Studien der mikrostrukturierten Übergänge in der isotropen Mikroemulsionsphase wurden Messungen der Schallgeschwindigkeit, Leitfähigkeit und Viskosität erfolgreich durchgeführt.
