Effect of lower fatty acids on the solubilization of Butanol‐1 in aqueous solutions of sodium salts of fatty acids. I

Abstract

Es wird uber Arbeiten berichtet, die das Studium der Lirdichkeitsbeeinflussung yon Fettsauren auf Butanol-1 in Gegenwart von fetteauren Salzen beinhalten. Viskositatsmessungen an den Systemen Eollen einen Hinweis auf die Flussigheitsstruktur geben. SummaryFrom the results i t has been concluded that the addition of freeacidslowers the tendency of the soap solution to form Hydrophilic Oleomicelles but it has no effect on the formation of Lipophilic Hydromicelles.The tendency to form viscous solutions or gels increases with the increase in the length of the acid chain of the soap and decreases with the amount of free acid added. The sol gel transformation temperature increases with the increase in the length of the acid chain in the soap as well as with the increase of the chain length of the free acid added.It may also be pointed out that the capacity for solubilization of the soap in presence of same amount of free acid decreases as the length of the acid chain in the soap increases and i t is in the order:From the viscosity measurements it has been confirmed that two types of micelles are formed in the solutions.
