본 연구에서는 보조계면활성제 첨가가 n-octane, n-decane, n-dodecane 등의 탄화수소 오일의 가용화에 미치는 영향에 관하여 살펴보았다. 탄화수소의 가용화 속도는 보조계면활성제로 첨가한 알코올의 사슬 길이와 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, 특히 사술 길이가 비교적 긴 알코올을 첨가하는 경우, 탄화수소 오일의 가용화 속도가 크게 증가하였다. 이는 1-butanol과 같이 짧은 사슬을 가진 수용성 알코올을 첨가할 경우에는 첨가한 대부분의 알코올이 수용액상에 존재하여 탄화수소 오일의 가용화에 큰 영향을 주지 못하는 반면에, 1-hexanol이나 1-octanol과 같이 비교적 사슬길이가 긴 알코올을 보조계면활성제로 첨가한 경우에는 첨가한 대부분의 알코올이 마이셀 상에 위치하여 마이셀을 보다 flexible한 packing을 갖게 함으로써, 가용화를 용이하게 한 것으로 생각된다. 가용화 속도 실험 결과는 spinning drop tensiometer를 사용하여 탄화수소 오일과 계면활성제 수용액 사이의 동적 계면장력을 측정한 결과와 동일한 경향을 나타내었다. 즉, 첨가한 알코올의 사슬 길이가 증가할수록 평형에서의 계면장력 값은 감소하며, 또한 계면장력 값이 평형에 도달하는 시간은 감소하였다.

In this study, effect of cosurfactant on the solubilization rate of n-octane, n-decane and n-dodecane oil was performed by micellar solutions of polymeric nonionic surfactant Pluronic L64(EO13PO30EO13) at room temperature. It has been found that the solubilization rate of a hydrocarbon oil was enhanced with an increase in both chain length and amount of alcohol added. In case of addition of a short chain alcohol such as 1-butanol, the solubilization rate of a_x000D_ hydrocarbon oil was slightly increased since most of alcohol molecules remained in an aqueous surfactant solution. On the other hand, the addition of a relatively long chain alcohol such as 1-hexanol and 1-octanol produced a big increase in solubilization rate of a hydrocarbon oil mainly due to incorporation of alcohol molecules into micelles and thus producing more flexible micellar packing density. Dynamic interfacial tension measurements showed the same trend found in_x000D_ solubilization rate measurement. Both interfacial tension value at equilibrium and time required to reach equilibrium decreased with an increase in chain length of an alcohol.
