The phenomenon of solubilization of nonionic surfactant TritonX-114 has been studied through the influence of additive Chloramine-T in aqueous medium by measuring the cloud points (CP) of the pure surfactant and with Chloramine-T. The CP of pure surfactant found to be increased with increased concentration of TritonX-114. The CP of mixed system shows increasing trends with increased Chloramine-T. This is mainly due to increased micelle concentrations. The influence of Chloramine-T on the cloud point of TritonX-114 is a clear indication that the phenomenon of clouding is associated with the different micelles coalescing. Considering cloud point as threshold temperature of the solubility, the thermodynamic parameters of clouding process (DG0cl , DH0cl and DS0cl ) have been evaluated using
KEYWORDS:Micellization; Cloud Point (CP); TritonX-114 (TX-114); Chloramine-T (CAT); Phase Separation Model
