    Abstract

    The influence of solvent polarity on adsorption behavior of DOSS (anionic surfactant) has been studied by means of electroacoustic method. DOSS substantially affected the ζ potential of titania and alumina dispersed in methanol and in hydrocarbons. In 1-propanol, 2-propanol, and 1-butanol, which have intermediate polarity between methanol and hydrocarbons, the effect of the ionic surfactant on the ζ potential of solid particles was less significant. © 2009 Elsevier Inc.
