Abstract

Abstract:

The surface tension and surface expansion viscosity of sodium dodecyl sulfate （SDS） surfactant solutions of different valences and concentrations of inorganic salt systems were measured by the true spherical bubble method. The foaming power and foam stability of the same solution were measured by the Ross-Miles method. The following results are obtained：（Ⅰ） The surface tension of the SDS solution decreases with the increase of inorganic salt concentrations until a constant value at certain concentration which is set as as a relative concentration of 100%. It is found that the critical micelle concentration （CMC） value has nothing to do with the type of added salt， but only decreases with the increase of the relative concentration of inorganic salt， i.e.， the CMC value increases with the inorganic salt. The increase in the relative concentration of， from 8.3 mmol/L without inorganic salt， converges to the minimum value of 3.0 mmol/L；（Ⅱ） The surface tension and the corresponding foaming force are in a negative linear relationship， and the surface tension is inferred. The foaming power can be evaluated as that， the surface expansion viscosity and the corresponding foam stability value have a positive linear relationship， from which it is inferred that the surface expansion viscosity can evaluate the foam stability；（Ⅲ） The foaming power and foam stability of SDS surfactants increases with the valence of cations （Na⁺， Cu²⁺， Fe³⁺）.

Key words: Inorganic salt, Surface tension, Surface dilatational viscosity, Critical micelle concentration, Foaming power, Bubble stability
