Oil Dispersing Performance Of A Binary Mixture Of Surfactant

Abstract

An investigation on the dispersing performance of a mixed surfactant on Spiked Bintulu oil was caried out using ultraviolet spectrometry. Result indicate a hyperchromic effect occurring at λ_max 234 mm having an aromatic π > π^* transition. The effect is optimal at 0.5 mole fraction of the mixed surfactant indicating a good composition for the formulation of dispersant.
