Laboratory Study on the Static Absorption of Cationic Gemini Surfactant CGS on Quartz Sand

Abstract:

Adsorption isotherms of new type cationic Gemini surfactant named CGS on quartz sand has been got by using solution concentration difference method. The effect of different factors on adsorption, such as temperature, pH value and salinity, are studied too. The adsorption isotherm of CGS on quartz sand accorded with Langmuir shape. The adsorption quantity increased with the increasing of surfactant concentration at an adagio rate, then the adsorption quantity increased fast, and it reached adsorption saturation when mass concentration was 150 mg/L, and saturated absorption was 6.3 mg/g. The adsorption quantity of CGS increased with the increasing of salt concentration. When heighten temperature and pH value, the adsorption quantity of CGS decreased.
