Description:
Winsor Type I (o/w), Type II (w/o), and Type III (middle phase) microemulsions have been produced for water and CC14, water and trichloroethylene (TCE), and water and 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB) with anionic surfactants and appropriate electrolytes. ttempts at producing classical phase behavior with several more polar chlorinated hydrocarbons were unsuccessful. hese results are compared to those obtained previously with PCE. ll studies were done at 25 degrees C. he experimental data presented are electrolyte concentration and solubilization parameter for optimum formulations and salinity window for the Type III phase region.
