Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIncreasing the Critical Micellar Concentration (CMC) of Surfactants Enhances the Removal of Pathogenic Bacteria, P. Aeruginosa, and S. Aureus from WastewaterImen Laadouze, Emna Grami et al.Antimicrobial effects of increasing Critical Micellar Concentration (CMCn) (n varying from 1-12) on Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213 over time of 5-, 10, and 20-minute exposures were evaluated. Three types of surfactants (Cetyltrime Thylammonium Ammonium Bromide (CTAB), Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), and TX-100) were evaluated. The results showed that CTAB had the greatest impact on both bacterial … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 8 May 2026 · 1,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSynthesis of Graphene Oxide via Liquid Exfoliation Using Self-Custom-Made Tweeter Piezoelectric Ultrasound Generator and Assisted by Surfactant from Commercial DetergentAchmad Ainul Fikri, Aminah Nur Aisyah, Suhufa Alfarisa, Wipsar Sunu Brams DwandaruRapid progress in nanotechnology requires the production of novel nanomaterials. This study aims to synthesize Graphene Oxide (GO) via the Liquid Exfoliation (LE) method using a self-custom-made tweeter piezoelectric system as the ultrasound generator. Linear Alkylbenzena Sulfonate (LAS) surfactant contained in commercial detergent is used to assist the exfoliation process. This synthesis method is simple, inexpensive and may produce GO … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 3 Nov 2016 · 7,251 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRemediation of Diesel Contaminated Soils Using Surfactants: Coulumn StudyE. Salehian, A. Khodadadi, B. HosseiniThis study presents the experimental remediation studies of diesel contaminated soil with Sodium Deducible Sulfate (SDS) as surfactants using column tests. Sandy selected soil had the grain size distribution of # 40 meshes to the # 200 mesh range. The soil columns were contaminated with adequate diesel amount to achieve the concentration of 10000 and 20000 ppm in soil. 0.1, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Jun 2012 · 8,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAluminum Powder and Zwitrionic Surfactants as Drag Reducing Agents in Pipe LinesHayder A. Abdul Bari, Rosli Bin Mohd Yunus, Tania Suhail HadiProblem statement: One of the most power consuming sector in the industry is the liquid transportation through pipelines due to the turbulent mode the liquids are transported with. Drag reducing agents were used as a solution for the pumping power losses in pipelines. One of the inportant drag reducing agents suggested to improve the flow in pipelines are the suspended … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,295 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSynthesis of Mesoporous Titania with Surfactant and its CharacterizationT. Benkacem, N. AgoudjilA mesoporous titania was obtained by gelation from Ti-alkoxide in acidic solutions with addition of surfactant cetyltrimetylammonium bromide (CH3(CH2)15N(CH3)3Br) using a sol-gel process. The effects of surfactant concentration on synthesis of mesoporous titania were studied. The structural characterisation was studied by differential thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction. Studies by X-ray diffraction showed that crystallisation of TiO2 powder occurs at … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,414 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleKinetic Study of the Effect of Selected Surfactants on Corrosion of CopperHowaida M. El-KashlanThe rates of copper corrosion were determined by measuring the limiting current of anodic dissolution of copper in phosphoric acid in presence and in absence of cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and cetyl pyridinium bromide (CPYB). The rate of corrosion is found to decrease by increasing the concentration of the surfactant. The percentage of inhibition ranged from 1.85 to 33.97% … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,137 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATIONOF ORGANIC FUNCTIONALIZED MESOPOROUS SILICA AND EVALUATE THEIR ADSORPTIVE BEHAVIOR FOR REMOVAL OF METHYLENE BLUE FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONSameer H. Kareem, Inaam H. Ali, M. G. JalhoomThree Mesoporous Silica (MPS) with different functional groups were prepared by one-step synthesis based on the simultaneous hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethoxy silane with organo-silane in the presence of template surfactant Polydimethylsiloxane-Polyethyleneoxide (PDMS-PEO). The prepared materials were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption experiments. The results indicate that the preparation of methyl and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2014 · 7,287 accessesView PDFCite
