Corrigendum to “Biomass Modification Using Cationic Surfactant Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) to Remove Palm-Based Cooking Oil”

Silica nanoparticles separation from water: aggregation by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB).

Nanoparticles will inevitably be found in industrial and domestic wastes in the near future and as a consequence soon in water resources. Due to their ultra-small size, nanoparticles may not only have new hazards for environment and human health, but also cause low separation efficiency by classical water treatments processes. Thus, it would be an important challenge to develop a specific treat...

Electrophoretic properties of complexes between DNA and the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.

We use agarose gel electrophoresis to characterize how the monovalent catioinic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) compacts double-stranded DNA, which is detected as a reduction in electrophoretic DNA velocity. The velocity reaches a plateau at a ratio R = 1.8 of CTAB to DNA-phosphate charges, i.e., above the neutralization point, and the complexes retain a net negative charge at ...

Processing Of Mesoporous Hydroxyapatite Using Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) As A Porogen And Its Characterization

The present research attempt consists in the development of mesoporous hydroxyapatite using inexpensive ingredients using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as template through a chemical-based hydrothermal method. Wide angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) reveals the formation of pure single-phased hydroxyapatite particles. Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy (FTIR) and electron dif...

Use of Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide-Bentonite To Remove Organic Contaminants of Varying Polar Character from Water

Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTMAB)-bentonite was produced by the exchange of cetyltrimethylammonium (CTMA) cations for inorganic ions on the internal and external surfaces of bentonite. CTMAB-bentonite was used to remove organic contaminants of varying polar character from water. The properties and mechanisms for CTMABbentonite to sorb benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, nitrobenzene, aniline, ...
