Abstract

The study is focused on evaluation of clouding phenomena of the aqueous single nonionic surfactant system Triton X-100 (TX-100) and its mixed systems with anionic aerosol-OT (AOT) and cationic dodecylpyridinium chloride (DPC) in presence of hydrophobic ions furnished by sodium salts of carboxylic acids, viz., sodium ethanoate, sodium propanoate, sodium butanoate, and sodium hexanoate and the respective carboxylic acids [ethanoic acid, propanoic acid, butanoic acid, and hexanoic acid]. The influence of salts on the cloud point (CP) has been explained on the basis of salt effect as well as the solubilization of higher alkyl chain hydrophobic ions furnished by these salts. Moreover, the co- and counterion effect has been taken into account to explain the variation of the CP in the mixed systems. However, the effect of acids on CP has been explained in the light of their aqueous solubility and their partitioning ability between octanol and water as reflected by their K OW values.
