Effect of Inorganic Cations on Bactericidal Activity of Anionic Surfactants.

Voss, J. G. (Procter & Gamble Co., Cincinnati, Ohio). Effect of inorganic cations on bactericidal activity of anionic surfactants. J. Bacteriol. 86:207-211. 1963.-The bactericidal effectiveness of two alkyl benzene sulfonates and of three other types of anionic surfactants against Staphylococcus aureus is increased in the presence of low concentrations of divalent cations, especially alkaline e...

Biological activity and environmental impact of anionic surfactants.

The newest results concerning the biological activity and environmental fate of anionic surfactants are collected and critically evaluated. The chemical and physicochemical parameters related to the biological activity and the field of application are briefly discussed. Examples on the effect of anionic surfactants on the cell membranes, on the activity of enzymes, on the binding to various pro...

Biodegradation of anionic surfactants by isolated bacteria from activated sludge

*Corresponding author, Email: [email protected] Tel: +9821 2264 1842; Fax: +9821 2266 6016 ABSTRACT: Sodium dodecyl sulphate, (SDS) is an anionic surfactant that widely used all over the world. They will eventually end-up and accumulate in household or industrial sewage. Due to their high foaming capabilities, which can cause numerous problems in sewage treatment facilities as well as direct t...

Spectrophotometric determination of anionic surfactants in wastewater using acridine orange

A simple and rapid spectrophotometric method for the determination of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), an anionic surfactant (AS) is developed. SDS forms a yellow coloured complex with acridine orange (ACO), a cationic dye. The complex is extracted in toluene. The absorbance of the complex in toluene layer is measured at maximum wavelength (λmax) of 467 nm. The calibration curve is linear in the ...
