Influence of magnetic treatment of surfactant solutions on the properties of foams and on foam formation
One of the fields of application of surfactants is dust suppression by the foam method. Its effectiveness may be raised both by selection of suitable surfactants and by electrophysical methods of treatment of the surfactant solutions and of foam. The purpose of the present work was to study the influence of preliminary magnetic treatment of solutions of anionic and nonionic surfactants on the formation and properties of foam. The chosen surfactants were: the technical foaming agent PO-1 (disodium salts of alkyl-aromatic sulfonic acids based on kerosine), foaming agent PO-12, specially formulated for dust suppression (mixture of sodium primary alkylsulfates and alkylsulfonate with additions of glycerol and sodium hexametaphosphate), wetting agent OP-10 (monoalkylphenyl ether of polyethylene glycol based on polymer distillate), all made in the USSR, and Ditalon OTS (mixture of aliphatic alkyl sulfates), produced in East Germany.
