Popis: Foam separation promotes the removal of dissolved materials from solutions by adsorbing the molecules onto a surfactant. The zwitterion of rhodamine B was removed by using both anionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate: SDS) and cationic (dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride: DTAC) surfactants through foam separation. However, rhodamine B could not be removed from a strongly acidic DTAC solution (pH 2), because the molecular form changes from the zwitterion to cation. Moreover, the cationic dye of rhodamine 6G could not be removed from the DTAC solution. Therefore, these results demonstrate that the electrostatic interaction between a surfactant and target ion is an important factor in foam separation.
