Abstract

In this paper, monododecyl diphenyl ether disulfonate (C12-MADS) and didodecyl diphenyl ether disulfonate (C12-DADS) are Friedel-Craft reaction product of 1-dodecene and diphenyl oxide using sulfated zirconium as a catalyst, followed by sulfonation with fuming sulfuric acid in 1,2-dichloroethane and neutralization with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The relationship between the structures of the surfactants C12-DADS, C12-MADS and linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (C12-LAS) and their surface and interfacial properties was studied by measuring equilibrium surface tensions, dynamic surface tensions and dynamic interfacial tensions (IFT). The results show that the surface and interfacial activity of C12-MADS is better than that of C12-DADS and C12-LAS. The gemini surfactant C12-DADS shows most unfavorable surface and interfacial activity due to the fact that the cross-linked hydrophobic carbon chains decreases the number of exposed methyl in molecule. The dynamic surface tensions results show that the diffusion coefficients values of C12-MADS and C12-DADS are lower than that of C12-LAS, and the adsorption process of surfactants at air/water interface is a mixed diffusion-kinetic adsorption mechanism. The data of dynamic ITF between aqueous surfactants solutions and dodecane indicate that the NaCl and CaCl2 concentration has a weak effect on the stable value of dynamic IFT for C12-DADS. With increasing the NaCl and CaCl2 concentration, the stable values of dynamic ITF for the three surfactants mostly passes through a minimum at an optimum concentration, and the C12-MADS and C12-LAS can reduce the IFT to the 10−2 mN/m order of magnitude.

Kurzfassung

In dieser Veröffentlichung werden Monododecyldiphenyletherdisulfonat (C12-MADS) und Didodecyldiphenyletherdisulfonat (C12-DADS) als Friedel-Craft-Reaktionsprodukt aus 1-Dodecen und Diphenyloxid durch Sulfonierung mit rauchender Schwefelsäure in 1,2-Dichlorethan und Neutralisation mit wässriger Natriumhydroxidlösung unter Verwendung von sulfatiertem Zirkonium als Katalysator synthetisiert. Die Beziehung zwischen den Strukturen der Tenside C12-DADS, C12-MADS und des linearen Alkylbenzensulfonat C12-LAS und ihren Oberflächen- und Grenzflächeneigenschaften wurde durch Messung von Gleichgewichtsoberflächenspannungen, dynamischen Oberflächen- und dynamischen Grenzflächenspannungen (IFT) untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Oberflächen- und Grenzflächenaktivität von C12-MADS besser ist als von C12-DADS und C12-LAS. Das Gemini-Tensid C12-DADS zeigt die ungünstigste Oberflächen- und Grenzflächenaktivität aufgrund der Tatsache, dass die vernetzten hydrophoben Kohlenstoffketten die Anzahl der exponierten Methylgruppen im Molekül verringern. Die Ergebnisse der dynamischen Oberflächenspannungen zeigen, dass die Diffusionskoeffizienten von C12-MADS und C12-DADS niedriger sind als die von C12-LAS und dass der Adsorptionsprozess von Tensiden an der Luft/Wasser-Grenzfläche ein gemischter diffusionskinetischer Adsorptionsmechanismus ist. Die Daten der dynamischen ITF zwischen der wässrigen Tensidlösung und Dodecan zeigen, dass die NaCl- und CaCl2-Konzentration den stabilen Wert der dynamischen IFT von C12-DADS nur schwach beeinflussen. Mit ansteigender NaCl- und CaCl2-Konzentration durchlaufen die stabilen Werte der dynamischen ITF für die drei Tenside meistens ein Minimum bei einer optimalen Konzentration und C12-MADS und C12-LAS können die IFT auf die Größenordnung von 10−2 mN m−1 reduzieren.
