Adsorption of a Jet Fuel on a Model Organic/clay Soil: Application of Small Angle Neutron Scattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) data are reported from a system that models the contamination of a clay/organic matter soil from a fuel spillage. The soil was represented as an aqueous dispersion of the synthetic clay mineral Laponite coated with lysine, and the contaminant was a representative jet fuel, quadricyclane, mixed with the detergent cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The adsorbed surface coverage on the clay was estimated. It is shown that the presence of adsorbed lysine considerably enhances the subsequent adsorption of both CTAB and quadricyclane. It is demonstrated that the SANS technique can contribute to the general problem of environmental remediation and retention by probing the interactions of pollutants and clay surfaces.

متن کاملSmall-angle neutron scattering from surfactant-assisted aqueous dispersions of carbon nanotubes.
The mechanism of surfactant-assisted dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes in water is studied by small-angle neutron scattering. The previously hypothesized formation of cylindrical micelles with the nanotubes forming the core of cylinders is inconsistent with the data presented. The scattering data favor a random structureless adsorption model for the dispersion of the nanotubes.

متن کاملEffect of alcohol addition on the movement of petroleum hydrocarbon fuels in soil.
Groundwater contamination by fuel spills from aboveground and underground storage tanks has been of growing concern in recent years. This problem has been magnified by the addition of oxygenates, such as ethanol and methyl-tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) to fuels to reduce vehicular emissions to the atmosphere. These additives, although beneficial in reducing atmospheric pollution, may, however, in...
