Foam is a thermodynamically unstable system, and the stability is the most important factor for the preparation and application of foams. In this paper, the effect of ZnO powders on the stability of the foams stabilized by sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate (SDBS), hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and Polyethylene glycol tertoctyl phenyl ether (TritonX-100) was investigated. The results showed that ZnO powders have a synergistic effect with SDBS and CTAB. There is no synergy between ZnO powders and Triton X-100. The mechanism for the stabilizing effect of ZnO powders on the foams was discussed.

Today, the drilling operators use the Colloidal Gas Aphron (CGA) fluids as a part of drilling fluids in their operations to reduce formation damages in low-pressure, mature or depleted reservoirs. In this paper, a Taguchi design of experiment (DOE) has been designed to analyse the effect of salinity, polymer and surfactant types and concentration on the stability of CGA fluids. Poly Anionic Cellulose (PacR) and Xanthan Gum (XG) polymers are employed as viscosifier; Hexadecyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (HTAB) and Sodium Dodecyl Benzene Sulphonate (SDBS) have been also utilized as aphronizer. Moreover, bubble size distributions, rheological and filtration properties of aphronized fluids are investigated. According to the results, the polymer type has the highest effect, whereas the surfactant type has the lowest effect on the stability of CGA drilling fluid. It was also observed that increasing salinity in CGA fluid reduces the stability. Finally, it should be noted that the micro-bubbles generated with HTAB surfactant in an electrolyte system, are more stable than SDBS surfactant.

A natural surfactant (NS) of plant-base was obtained from the fruit pericarp of soapnuts by using a simple and economical method. The interaction of this natural surfactant with direct dye, anionic dye, Congo red (CR) was studied spectrophotometrically in sub-micellar and micelle concentration range in aqueous solution. These interactions (CR-NS) were compared with that of CR-CTAB (cationic surfactant-cetyl trimethylammonium bromide, CTAB), CR-SDS (anionic surfactant-sodium dodecyl sulphate, SDS) and CR-TX 100 (neutral surfactant - Triton X-100, TX 100) and were useful to understand the nature of natural surfactant. The mechanism of formation of complex due to interactions between Congo red and natural surfactant was suggested. This spectrophotometric method was used for the determination of critical micelle concentration (CMC), at which the formation of micelles was started. The CMC values obtained spectrophotometrically for the natural surfactant was coincided with the experimental value available in the literature. A definite change in the absorbance maxima of Congo red in the presence of natural surfactant (micelles of natural surfactant) was also observed. The change in maxima was also interpreted in terms of pH and CMC. The equilibrium constant of interaction between Congo red and natural surfactant was calculated on the theoretical model. The stability of the complexes of Congo red with different surfactants like CTAB, SDS, TX 100 and natural surfactant may be written in increasing order as: CR-TX 100 > CR-CTAB > CR-NS > CR-SDS. The biodegradable, non-toxic, inexpensive, environmental friendly, renewable natural surfactant was suggested in place of synthetic surfactants.

The inhibition of corrosion of stainless steel (SS)-410 in sulfuric acid using thiourea and three different surfactants, cetyle trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and X-Triton was studied. Corrosion rates were determined by using corrosion coupons. The corrosion rate was found to be decreased with increase in inhibitor concentration. It was observed that the maximum corrosion inhibition occurred in the post micellar concentration of the surfactants. By optimizing the corrosion inhibition performance of different blends of surfactants and thiourea in 3 M H2SO4,the corrosion inhibition order was found as: Triton X-100 + thiourea > CTAB + thiourea > SDS + thiourea. The best results obtained by the addition of 200 ppm thiourea in 500 ppm of Triton X-100 in 3 M H2SO4acid solution. This blend decreased the corrosion rate of SS-410 to 657.66 mpy.

Abstract In this paper we present the results of measured physical parameters of self-organized structures consisting of hydrophobic functionalized silver nanoparticles and amphiphilic molecules capable of micelles formation. Those systems may be considered as simple models for transfer of nanoparticles through the biological membrane. Three different surfactants were used: negatively charged sodium dodecyl sulphite, SDS, neutral Triton X-100 and positively charged tetredodecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, TTABr. We have found that hydrophobic functionalized Ag nanoparticles are encapsulated in neutral Triton X-100 micelles with a diameter of 10 nm without significant change in the size of the micelles. The efficiency of encapsulation of Ag by SDS micelles is lower compared to Triron X-100 and no incorporation of Ag nanoparticles into TTABr occurs. Obtained results indicate that in aqueous environment ionic properties of molecules creating micelles and concentration ratios between components determine the efficiency and kinetics of two competitive processes association or aggregation of nanoparticles and encapsulation of Ag nanoparticles within micelles.
