Solution structures of Oleo-Furan surfactant mixtures in the presence of mono- and di-valent electrolytes
In the detergent industry, anionic surfactants such as Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) and Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) dominate the market. Whilst LAS has been proven to be biodegradable, it is derived from petrochemicals using acid catalysts that cause low selectivity, corrosion of equipment and toxicity. This has led to a move towards investigation of biobased and renewable surfactants, such as the new class of anionic surfactants, oleo-furan sulfonates. However, the physico chemical properties of these surfactants have not yet been studied. This proposal is focused on characterizing a C14-tail oleo-furan sulfonate anionic surfactant that has been shown to have a high cleaning performance and high tolerance for hard water ions when alone in solution. Typical formulations however involve mixtures of surfactants; frequently anionics are mixed with non-ionics. In this experiment therefore we aim to investigate how the presence of mono- and di-valent electrolytes affects the morphology and composition of mixed micelles formed from this surfactant in dilute solutions with a model non-ionic surfactant.
