Revision of the Adsorption Behavior of the Non-ionic Surfactant Tetraoxyethylene Decylether C10 E4 at the Water/Air Interface

J. Schulze-Schlarmann
Abstract
The adsorption kinetics of the non-ionic surfactant C10 E4 was studied by maximum bubble pressure (MPT-2) and drop/bubble shape analysis tensiometry (PAT-1). The two methods complement each other and show good agreement in the overlapping time range if the problem of the so-called initial load at the drop/bubble surface is considered properly. The adsorption appears to be diffusion-controlled, giving an average diffusion coefficient of the order of 110−10 m2 s−1. At higher surfactant concentrations, the adsorption rate tends to change to a non-diffusional mechanism, which is possibly caused by surface active impurities.
Kurzfassung
Die Adsorptionskinetik des nichtionischen Tensids C10 E4 wurde mittels maximalem Blasendruck (MPT-2) und der Tropfen/Blasen-Profiltensiometrie (PAT-1) studiert. Die beiden Methoden ergänzen einander und zeigen eine gute Übereinstimmung im überlappenden Zeitbereich, wenn das Problem der sogenannten initial load bei der Tropfen/Blasen-Oberfläche genau betrachtet wird. Die Adsorption erscheint diffusionsgesteuert bei einem Durchschnittsdiffusionskoeffizienten in der Größenordung von 1 · 10−10 m2 s−1. Bei höheren Tensidkonzentrationen tendiert die Adsorptionsrate zu einem Wechsel in einen nichtdiffusen Mechanismus, was möglicherweise durch oberflächenaktive Verunreinigungen verursacht wird.
