ABSTRACT
In this study, the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) on the foam stability of dodecylamine (DDA) and on its adsorption configuration at the gas-liquid interface was investigated. Froth stability experiments, surface tension measurements, time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry measurements, and molecular dynamics simulation calculations were performed in this investigation. The results revealed that the foam stability of DDA solution was extremely strong, and the addition of SDS could decrease the foam stability when the concentration of DDA was less than a certain value. The decrease in foam stability could be ascribed to several reasons, namely, the big cross-sectional area of SDS at the gas-liquid interface and low adsorption capacity of surfactants at the gas-liquid interface, the high surface tension, the change in the double-layer structure, the small thickness of the gas-liquid interfacial layer, the weak interaction intensity between the head groups of the surfactants and the water molecules, the strong movement ability of the water molecules around the head groups, and the sparse and less upright arrangement configuration of molecules at the gas-liquid interface. These findings can greatly help in solving the strong foam stability problem in DDA flotation and provide a method for reducing foam stability.
