The Effects of Surfactant on Breakage of Emulsion Membrane

The effects of surfactants and their concentration on breakage of emulsion membrane have been examined in experiment.The result show that the breakage ratio will increase as the concentration of surfactants in membrane phase increases.The emulsion membrane containing negative ionic(LMS-2)is not the easiest to break, and membrane contain hi gh molecular nonionic(LMA-1).The breakage of membrane containing polyamine type nonionic(L113B)is largest.Reasonable selection of surfactant and its concentration in membrane is helpful for improving the stability of emulsion membrane.
