Popis: The present study is an investigation of the solubilising ability of natural and conventional surfactants saponin (sapindus saponin or reetha saponin), Rhamnolipids (RLs) and N-cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) respectively via dye-surfactant interaction. The ionic dye Congo Red was examined by absorption spectroscopy method for the study. The dye interacted strongly with oppositely charged surfactant N-cetylpyridinium chloride in the pre-micellar concentration range and formed a stable dye-surfactant complex. The thermodynamic parameter, free energy change for all the systems was calculated at a constant temperature of 25°C. The ΔG0 value for N-cetylpyridinium chloride is found to be −33.269 kJ/mol while for saponin and rhamnolipids the values were −16.084 kJ/mol and −26.006 kJ/mol respectively. The values clearly indicate the efficiency of N-cetylpyridinium chloride surfactant compared to the other two surfactants. The present study aims to understand the dye solubilization in surfactant media in order to develop environmentally friendly, green and cost effective techniques.
