TLDR
In this paper, the effect of counterion binding on the surface tension and surface potential of ionic surfactant solutions is accounted for theoretically, and a formalism which enables one to obtain the counterion adsorption isotherm corresponding to a given surface activations is presented.
Abstract
The effect of counterion binding on the surface tension and surface potential of ionic surfactant solutions is accounted for theoretically. It turns out that no every couple of surfactant and counterion adsorption isotherms are thermodynamically compatible. To solve the problem, we develop a formalism which enables one to obtain the counterion adsorption isotherm corresponding to a given surfactant adsorption isotherm. Further, these adsorption isotherms are integrated to obtain the respective expression for the surface tension. The results are extended to the case when the solution contains ionic−nonionic surfactant mixtures and electrolytes of various valency. The integral, which takes into account the electrostatic interactions, is solved analytically for aqueous solutions containing 1:1, 2:1, 1:2, and 2:2 electrolytes. It is demonstrated that the derived equations can be applied to process experimental data for the surface tension as a function of the surfactant and salt concentrations. As a result on...

Role of surfactant type and concentration for the mean drop size during emulsification in turbulent flow.

TL;DR: The performed theoretical analysis of drop-drop interactions, in the emulsification equipment, shows that a strong electrostatic repulsion between the colliding drops impedes the drop- drop coalescence in the latter systems, so that smaller emulsion drops are obtained in comparison with the theoretically predicted ones.
