synthesis and performance evaluation of paraffin microcapsules with calcium carbonate shell modulated by different Anionic Surfactants for thermal energy storage
Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 2019Co-Authors: Jian Shi, Rong Sun, Boyuan Ban, Jian ChenAbstract:Abstract A series of phase change materials (PCMs) microcapsules based on industrial paraffin core and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) shell were successfully synthesized for thermal energy storage. The SEM results revealed that the composites are mainly of spherical morphology. The FT-IR and XRD confirmed that the composites were mainly composed of the vaterite CaCO3, paraffin, and a small amount of calcite CaCO3. Compared with the composites prepared with sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) as Anionic surfactant, DSC and TG results of composites prepared with sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) demonstrated that the encapsulation efficiency increased but the thermal stability decreased. Besides, with the different concentrations of CaCl2, the influence of Anionic Surfactants on the performance of microcapsules had been discussed. The results exhibited higher encapsulation efficiency of microcapsules with SDBS than that with SDS, even up to ten times. When the mass of CaCl2 is about 0.05 mol, encapsulation efficiency with SDBS can reach up to 20.80%. Accordingly, the super-cooling of PCM was significantly suppressed. From all results, it is worth developing the PCMs microcapsules with CaCO3 shell modulated by different Anionic Surfactants for thermal energy storage and SDBS is more suitable for preparing PCM@CaCO3 microcapsules.

simultaneous extraction and determination of Anionic Surfactants in waters and sediments
Journal of Chromatography A, 2006Co-Authors: Pablo A Laramartin, A Gomezparra, Eduardo GonzalezmazoAbstract:Abstract A new method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of the most frequently used Anionic Surfactants – linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS), alkyl ethoxysulfates (AES) and alkyl sulfates (AS) – in aqueous and sediment samples. Preconcentration and purification of water samples are carried out by means of solid-phase extraction (SPE). The efficiency of two different extraction methods for the analysis of sediments – Soxhlet extraction and pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) – has been compared. Identification and quantification of the target compounds is performed using a liquid chromatography – mass spectrometry (LC–MS) system equipped with an electrospray interface (ESI) in negative ion-mode. Homologue recoveries are 85–123% for SPE, 94–112% for Soxhlet extraction and 81–125% for PLE in the case of LAS, and 60–94% for SPE, 61–109% for Soxhlet extraction and 55–99% for PLE in the case of AES, whereas the limits of detection are 0.1–0.5 ng ml−1 in water and 1–5 ng g−1 in sediment. This method has been applied to the determination of Anionic Surfactants in the Guadalete estuary (SW Spain), and LAS concentration levels from 538 to 1014 ng g−1 in sediments and from 25.1 to 64.4 ng ml−1 in waters have been found. AES values from 168 to 536 ng g−1 in sediments and from 4.5 to 11.9 ng ml−1 in waters are reported for the first time in European rivers.

aggregation induced emission active probe for light up detection of Anionic Surfactants and wash free bacterial imaging
Chemistry: A European Journal, 2016Co-Authors: Meng Gao, Luochao Wang, Junjian Chen, Lin Wang, Yingjun Wang, Li Ren, Anjun Qin, Ben Zhong TangAbstract:Anionic Surfactants are widely used in daily life and industries, but their residues can cause serious damage to the environment. The current detection methods for Anionic Surfactants suffer from various limitations and a new detection strategy is highly desirable. Based on 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzothiazole fluorogen with aggregation-induced emission characteristics, we have developed a fluorescent probe HBT-C18 for selective and sensitive detection of Anionic Surfactants. By in situ formation of catAnionic aggregates or micelles with Anionic Surfactants, the emission intensity of the HBT-C18 probe can increase with increasing keto/enol emission ratio through restriction of intramolecular motion and excited-state intramolecular proton-transfer mechanisms. The probe can also be used for wash-free imaging of bacteria enveloped by a negatively charged outer membrane. The results of this study provide a new strategy for sensitive detection of Anionic Surfactants and wash-free bacterial imaging.
