  2. Schematic illustration of a surfactant

  3. A good surfactant has a strong tendency to go to interfaces (surfaces), where it should pack densely.A good surfactant should have low solubility in the bulk phases. Some surfactants – and some surface active macromolecules – are only soluble at the interface, i.e., in the presence of both bulk phases.Typical values of surface and interfacial tensions:air – water 72-73 mN/mair – aqueous surfactant solution 28-32 mN/mhydrocarbon – water 20-40 mN/mhydrocarbon – aqueous surfactant solution 1-10 mN/m

  4. At a certain surfactant concentration micelles start to form. This concentration is called the critical micelle concentration (CMC).

  5. 0,02 0,01 0 Concentration (mol/cm3) Many physical-chemical properties change at the CMC In solution: The physical-chemical properties of a solution at the CMC: Osmotic pressure Turbidity Surface tension CMC At the air/water interface: air water

  6. Surfactants are used … • as dispersants • as emulsifiers • as foaming agents • as wetting agents • to make microemulsions • as anti-corrosion agents • for impregnation • to solubilize drugs, dyes, etc • for soil removal • as hydrophobizing agents • as lubricants • etc

  7. Polymers can be surface active

  8. Amphiphilic polymers are used… • as dispersants • as stabilizer of emulsions • as stabilizer of foams • to control the rheology of a solution • as antiredeposition agents • etc

  9. General • Small amphiphiles, surfactants, are needed in the dynamic processes, such as - foaming - wetting - emulsification • Larger amphiphiles, surface active polymers, are good at stabilizing dispersed systems • The two are often used together. (Nature often uses a combination of a polar lipid and a surface active macromolecule to make stable emulsions and foams.)

  10. The structure of lignin (according to Adler)

  11. Is lignin surface active?

  12. Surface activity of lignins from black liquors

  13. But … • the pH-sensitivity is a big problem • only the dissociated form of Kraft lignin can be regarded to be surface active • the pKa of guaiacol is around 10

  14. Formation of lignosulfonates in the sulfite pulping process Lignin Carbocation intermediate Lignosulfonate

  15. Lignosulfonate

  16. Lignosulfonate intermediate The lignosulfonate obtained from the sulfite process is not pure Difference in: - chemical composition - molecular weight - degree of sulphonation Softwood and hardwood lignosulfonate can be processed to have the same performance

  17. Amount Molecular weight Lignosulfonates are mainly used as dispersants • Plasticizer in making concrete • Grinding agent in cement production Adsorbed on cement In solution

  18. Drilling mud additive - removes the cuttings - lubricates and cools the bit

  19. Dispersant for dyes • Dispersant for carbon black • Dispersant for pesticides • Dispersant for ceramics

  20. A dispersing agent must… • anchor to the solid particle • repel the particle from other dispersant-covered particles

  21. There are two mechanisms for stabilization of dispersions 1. Electrostatic stabilization

  22. 2. Steric stabilization

  23. A lignosulfonate can be regarded as a poly-electrolyte, providing electrostatic stabilization Uncharged comb polymer Lignosulfonate Poly(acrylic acid) QCM measurements showed that while the comb copolymer gave a thick layer (6.4 nm), the lignosulfonate and the poly(acrylic acid) formed thin layers at the surface (0.6 and 0.5 nm, respectively).
