Origin of the problem.
More and more use of surfactants due to its wide range of applicability (detergency, wetting, flotation,
colloidal stability, emulsions, pharmaceutical, cosmetics products, remediation processes).
Synthetic surfactants are not easily biodegradable.
Creates environmental problem.

The US-EPA report shows that developed countries like USA, 2-3 % are
using surfactant enhanced remediation technology for removal of
contaminants in laboratories only.
But when it will come to a field huge amount of surfactant will needed
and after application it will go to the environment.
8
Origin of the problem.
But after the application domestic waste-water containing soaps and detergent solutions are thrown to
the environment can also lead to groundwater contamination if added to the soil matrix without any
treatment.

Table from US-EPA
Origin of the problem.
Most of the surfactants used in different application are synthetic surfactants, manufactured by
synthetic chemical route. Depending on the structure of the surfactants, mostly synthetic surfactants
are not biodegradable and create a large numbers of environmental problems.
Breakdown products are more toxic to aquatic organisms than the APE/LAS themselves

count, testicular and breast cancer.
On zooplankton effect is their sex determination and development.

Background.
Bio-surfactants
Bio-surfactants are amphiphilic biological compounds synthesized by extracellularly or as a part of
the cell membrane by variety of yeast, bacteria and filamentous fungi.
The hydrophobic part fatty acids, and the hydrophilic portion a carbohydrate, amino acid, cyclic
peptide, phosphate, carboxylic acid or alcohol.
Types
Low molecular mass molecules with lower surface and interfacial tension (e.g. rhamnolipid and
sophorolipids).
High molecular mass polymers which bind tightly to surfaces (e.g. Emulsan, and Liposan).

Plant surfactants
Saponins: soap-like foams with water, occurring primarily in the plant kingdom.
Chemically, saponins as a group include compounds that are glycosylated steroids, triterpenoids,
and steroid alkaloids.
They consist of nonpolar aglycones coupled with one or more monosaccharide moieties.

36
Adsorption process
Together all these factors determine the mechanism by means of which adsorption occurs, the
efficiency and effectiveness adsorption.
37
Adsorption process
38
Adsorption process
Mainly there are two types of forces acting between two charged particles in an electrolyte solution.
Electrostatic double layer interaction.
Vander Waal's force of attraction.
Depending upon the relative magnitude of these two interactions, the net interaction may be repulsive
or attractive.

PTFE powder solid surface.

Adsorption isotherm of TX-100 surfactant on PTFE surface.
The adsorption isotherms for Nonionic/mono-ionic surfactant on PTFE surface are mainly of
Langmuir type. They appear to show the surface saturation in the vicinity of CMC and orientation of
the surfactant perpendicular to the surface and mainly due to the dispersion forces.
41
Adsorption isotherm of CPBr and SDBS surfactant on PTFE surface
The adsorption initially may be parallel to the solid surface, slightly tilted or L-shaped with the
hydrophobic group close to the surface and hydrophilic group towards the aqueous phase.
As we will goes on increasing the surfactant concentration the orientation of the surfactant molecule
from more and more perpendicular.
43
Effect of Electrolyte
Neutral electrolyte addition increases both the efficiency of adsorption by decreasing the repulsion
between the similarly charged adsorbed ion and oncoming ion as well as the effectiveness of
adsorption probably by decreasing the electrical repulsion between the similarly charged adsorbed
ions permitting closer packing.
44
Effect of Electrolyte
Effect of electrolyte NaCl on CMC and amount of adsorption
0.1 mM CpBr + NaCl
The depression of the CMC of these cases is mainly due to the decrease in the thickness of the ionic
atmosphere surrounding the ionic head groups in the presence of the additional electrolyte and the
consequent decreased electrical repulsion between them in the micelle.
Effect of Electrolyte
Effect of electrolyte Na2SO4 on CMC and amount of adsorption
0.1 mM CpBr + Na2SO4
The stern layer potential for SDBS and CPBr decreases with the concentration of added salt. The natures
of counter ions affect the electrostatic potential as well as the mobility.
Effect of Electrolyte
Effect of electrolyte CaCl2 on CMC and amount of adsorption
0.1 mM CpBr + CaCl2
50
Conclusions.
It will be a better substitute to utilize plant derived saponin instead of synthetic surfactants and bio-
surfactants produce by microorganism, which have the following advantages: is cost effective, lower
toxicity, higher biodegradatibiliy, better environmental compatibility, higher foaming, higher
selectivity for metal ions and organic compounds, more tolerant to pH, salt and temperature
variation, and the ability to be synthesized from renewable sources.
