Experimental and theoretical study of an interfacial instability at some oil—water interfaces involving a surface-active agent

摘要: Abstract Large-scale motions were observed at the interface between an aqueous solution of a long chain alkytrimethylammonium halogenide and nitrobenzene picric acid in proportions far removed from equilibrium partition state. These interfacial result interaction (i) small-scale turbulence created by transfer surface-active material; (ii) slow convective—diffusive solutes; (iii) instantaneous dissociation reaction which displaces compositional equilibrium, thereby modifying boundary conditions; (iv) formation less solute resulting counterion exchange inhibits (i). This effect can be used for control transfers.
