Adsorption of Nonionic Surfactant from Its Aqueous Solution onto Commercial Rubber
1999
Abstract Adsorption of Ethoxylated Nonyl Phenol (ENP) surfactant from its aqueous solution onto a commercial tire cutting from different sites. Outer Peristalitic (O.P.), Outer Smouth (O.S.), and Internal Tire (I.T.) is studied after different immersion times, 24, 48, 72, and 144 hrs at 30° C. The adsorption isotherms are determined by a surface tension method. A two stepped L-type isotherm is characteristic below the CMC of ENP; above this concentration the isotherm deviates from the L-type and the slope of the isotherm increases sharply. A Langmuir fit has been found below the CMC of ENP. From the maximum amounts adsorbed at pseudo-plateau (Tmax of the tested samples it was found that the efficiency of adsorption onto the rubber surface decreases in the order, O.P. > O.S. > I.T.
