ABSTRACT:The effects of sulfonated surfactants on the adsorption and diffusion of mono azo dye into water-swollen cellulose membranes were studied at 25-55°C. The results were analyzed on the basis of the parallel diffusion theory of surface and pore diffusion. Addition of the surfactants increased the equilibrium adsorption of the dye onto cellulose and the pore diffusivity for the parallel diffusion model. The surface diffusivity for the model was not affected. The temperature dependence of the effects was also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
