Study on W/O Cyclohexane Microemulsion

The effects of different kinds of alcohol,amount and ratio of surfactants on the amount of solubilized water and conductivity of cyclohexane microemulsion were investigated at the same time.The effect of electrolyte on phase behavior of cyclohexane microemulsion was discussed.The results show that n-pentanol is optimal assistant,when the moderation carbon chains ratio of assistant and surfactant are preferential for the formation of microemulsion.Along with rise of surfactant weight fraction,the amount of solubilized water increases and conductivity decreases;The effect of electrolyte is also important,the system of upper-phase microemulsion is gradually formed from down-phase to middle-phase microemulsion with increasing of NaCL weight fraction.
