Physysichemical Properties of Quaternary Ammonium Salts Formed by Undecanoic and Tetradecanoic Acids with Trietanolamine
Abstract
The article presents the results of the study of the oil collecting and oil dispersing properties of the quaternary ammonium salts formed by undecanoic and tetradecanoic acids, which are monobasic carboxylic acids, with triethanolamine (TEA) in distilled, drinking, and sea waters contaminated with Balakhani Oil. The surface activity property of the products of different concentrations of these complexes was calculated using a tensiometer, and the elemental composition was calculated using the calculation method. A comparative study of the element composition of the salts of both acids formed with TEA shows that the mass fraction of carbon in the complex formed by tetradecanoic acid with TEA is higher than in the other complex.
Comparison of the surface activity property of the complexes formed by undecane and tetradecanoic acid with TEA shows that the complex compound formed by tetradecanoic acid with TEA shows more surface activity property.
Therefore, as the mass fraction of carbon element increases in the complexes formed by undecane and tetradecanoic acid with TEA, the complex compound shows more surface activity properties.
