The interactions of 4-chlorobenzoic acid with the micellar system of various cationic, nonionic, and mixed surfactant systems were studied by the UV/Vis spectrophotometric method. The solubilization constants ($K_s$) of 4-chlorobenzoic acid into those micellar systems have been measured at various temperatures and various thermodynamic parameters for the solubilization of 4-chlorobenzoic acid have been calculated and analyzed from those changes. The results show that the values of ${\Delta}G^o_s$ are all negative within the measured temperature range and that the values of ${\Delta}H^o_s$ and ${\Delta}S^o_s$ are all positive. The effects of alkyl-group's length of surfactant molecules on the solubilization of 4-chlorobenzoic acid have been also measured. The values of $K_s$ were dependent simultaneously on the alkyl-group's length and the kind of head-group in surfactant molecules. From these changes we can postulate the solubilization site and the degree of interaction of 4-chlorobenzoic acid with the micellar systems.

Triethanolamine-type cationic surfactants were synthesized and their applications were established. The production of mono-, di-, and tri-TEA-EQ (triethanol-amine-esterquater) were dependent on the molar ratio of fatty acid and triethanolamine under the controlled reaction temperature. The structures were elucidated by $H^{1}$ NMR. Long-term stability was dependent on the amount of mono- and tri-TEA-EQ. When the amount of mono-TEA-EQ was increased, long-term stability was increased. However, the more tri-TEA-EQ made long-term stability decreased. Softening was dependent on the amount of saturated fatty acid, and re-wettability was counted on the amount of unsaturated fatty acid. Softening was measured by the method of sense estimation e.g. touching to home-towel. Absorption was determined to calculate the height of water on a towel after treatment.

산업폐수는 종종 희석용액 내에 많은 유독성 물질을 함유하고 있다. 산업폐수를 처리하는 분리공정으로 역삼투막과 한외여과와 같은 막분리 기술은 분리 공정이 간단하고 상변화없이 폐수용량을 크게 감소시킬 수 있고 에너지 소모가 작은 장점을 가지고 있어 그 적용이 확산되고 있다. 계면활성제의 흡착성을 이용한 한외여과 막분리는 높은 막투과속도와 계면활성제의 높은 선택성이 결합된 것인데, Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate(SDS)와 같은 계면활성제를 이용하여 폐수로부터 불용성 중금속 이온과 독성의 유기물질을 분리하는 데에 적용할 수 있다. 임계미셀농도(CMC) 이상에서의 농도에서, 60~200 계면활성제 분자들이 거대분자나 미셀을 형성하면서 서로 응집된다. 그러므로 음으로 하전된 미셀과 결합된 금속 음이온은 2,000에서 10,000 범위의 분자량을 가지는데 역삼투막(RO)보다 작은 압력에서 상당히 큰 막투과속도를 가진 한외여과막에 의해 선택적으로 제거될 수 있다 본 연구의 목적은 중공사 한외여과막의 막투과속도에 미치는 인자들의 영향과, 계면활성제의 흡착성을 이용한 중공사 한외여과 막분리계 성능에 미치는 금속의 형태, S/M 몰비등의 효과를 결정하는데 있다.

Feasibility of micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration far the removal of nitrate was investigated using cationic surfactants, cetylpyridinium chloride and octadecylamine acetate. The removal of nitrate increased as the molar ratio of surfactant increased. With the molar ratio of 3, at least 80% of nitrate was removed, while > 98% of nitrate was removed at the surfactant molar ratio of 10. Octadecylamine acetate showed higher removal efficiency of nitrate and higher rejection of surfactant than cetylpyridinium chloride because of the accessibility of nitrate to surfactant micelles due to head group of surfactant. Octadecylamine acetate turned out to be a better surfactant than cetylpyridinium chloride for micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration to remove nitrate from groundwater.

In this study, we analyzed the physical properties of an ethylene oxide adducted amphoteric surfactant such as critical micelle concentration, surface tension, interfacial tension, contact angle, viscosity and phase behavior. The dual function characteristics of an amphoteric surfactant were investigated by determining an isoelectric point, which were attained using zeta potential measurements and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) experiments. The isoelectric points of DE3-OSA82-AO, DE5-OSA82-AO and DE9-OSA82-AO surfactant systems determined by zeta potential measurements were 6.97, 6.93 and 7.10 respectively and they are in good agreement with the isoelectric point values measured by QCM experiments. The frictional property measured using an automated mildness tester showed that the DE-OSA82-AO surfactant could provide a good softening effect at neutral condition.

Analysis for the imidazoline type cationic surfactants was performed by the gas chromatography(GC) and high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). The composition of the alkyl chain distribution was investigated by GC after base/Acid hydrolysis of the imidazoline ring. The distribution of total alkyl chain was separated clearly by a Bondclone C18/NOVA-Pak C18 HPLC column using 50% acetonitrile in methanol containing 0.1M sodium perchlorate as a mobile phase. Alkyl chain distribution and average molecular weight of imidazoline type cationic surfactants were obtained based on these analytical methods. The agreement of results from GC and HPLC was good. The detection limit of imidazoline by HPLC method was 10ng without pretreatment.

Cationic surfactant can be used as cosmetics and chemical dispersants. The variation of critical micelle concentration (CMC) with temperature over the range $40^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$ for N-octadecyl pyridinium bromide was measured by drop methods. Thermodynamic quantities such as free energy, enthalpy, entropy and heat capacity for micellization of N-octadecyl pyridinium bromide in water were calculated by fourth-degree polynominal equation In the result, free energy change was decreased generally by the increment of temperature.

We tried to investigate the effects of substituent position, temperature, and additives such as NaCl and n-butanol on the solubilizations of cresol isomers by tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB), using the UV-Vis spectrophotometric method. The measured solubilization constants (K_s) values for each cresol isomer increased in the order o-cresolo and ∆H^o values for the solubilizations of cresols were all negative values but the ∆S^o values were all positive values within the measured ranges. The values of ∆G^o increased also with increasing the concentration of n-butanol but decreased with increasing the concentration of NaCl. From these facts, we could conclude that both the enthalpy and entropy changes contribute together for the solubilizations of cresols isomers by cationic surfactant of TTAB and they are solubilized in the polar palisade region or at the surface of micelle.

A series of batch tests were conducted to evaluate the design parameters for the application of soil washing techniques to the hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs)-contaminated soil using mixed surfactants. Because the mixed surfactants form different structures of molecular aggregates from single surfactant, they were applied to improve the washing efficiency. Kinds of surfactants added, mixing ratio, and total concentration of mixed surfactants were evaluated. The uncontaminated soil was obtained from a country hill near Nock-Chun Station in Seoul. The portion of soil passing #4 (4.75 mm) sieve was used. The pH, organic contents and cation exchange capacity were 4.4, 1.6% and 4.08 meq/100 g, respectively The soil was artificially contaminated by n-dodecane. The 5% solution of OA-5 and OA-14 (1:1) showed 86% washing efficency. The 4% solution of SDS and OA-5 (1:1) showed 95% washing efficiency.
