Corrosion is a challenging and potentially harmful process that involves the continuing, impulsive deterioration of metallic structures via reactions involving environmental components electro- or chemical processes. To inhibit corrosion, various additives are added. Traditional additives, on other hand, contain environmentally hazardous substances. Surfactants less expensive, easier to manufacture, have high inhibitory efficacy low toxicity compared standard corrosion inhibitors. They often employed as inhibitors protect materials against corrosion. Surfactant molecules' amphiphilic nature promotes adsorption at surfaces such metal/metal oxide-water interface. metals metal oxides forms barrier can prevent This review surfactants aims offer systemic evaluation surfactant physical properties, influence in inhibition, used inhibition be enhance use variety environments.

Development of carboxymethyl cellulose-based nanocomposite incorporated with ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by cress seed mucilage as green surfactant

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 265, P. 130849 - 130849

Published: March 13, 2024

This study aimed to enhance carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based films by incorporating zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and cress seed mucilage (CSM), with a view augmenting the physical, mechanical, permeability properties of resulting nanocomposite films. For first time, CSM was exploited as green surfactant synthetize ZnO NPs using hydrothermal method. Seven distinct film samples were meticulously produced subjected comprehensive array analyses. The findings revealed that incorporation CSM/ZnO-5 % improved physical films, demonstrating significant reduction in moisture content water vapor (WVP). Increasing concentration conjunction markedly decreased solubility nanocomposites up 56 %. containing CSM/ZnO showed higher tensile strength elongation at break values. UV absorption exhibited substantial rise addition NPs, particularly an increased presence CSM. thermal stability high improvement compared control sample. In light these results, CMC/CSM/ZnO-5 emerges promising candidate for biocompatible packaging material, exhibiting favorable characteristics.

Published: Jan. 8, 2025

Surfactants play a crucial role in various industrial applications, including detergents and personal care products. However, their widespread use raises concerns due to potential environmental impact health risks, particularly aquatic ecosystems, where they can disrupt the balance of marine life accumulate water sources, posing challenges sustainable development. This study investigates implications anionic nonionic surfactants, focusing on toxicity, biodegradation, skin irritation profiles, especially when combined with silica nanoparticles. Toxicity assessments were conducted using bacteria Vibrio fischeri for toxicity Lepidium sativum seeds terrestrial plant effects, revealing that individual surfactants like alkyl ether carboxylic acid EC-R12-14E3 exhibit high levels, while fatty-alcohol ethoxylate FAE-R12-14E11 shows comparatively lower impact. The surfactant mixtures was analysed, both antagonistic synergistic effects depending used. addition nanoparticles generally mitigates overall whether used individually or mixtures. Biodegradation studies followed OECD 301E 301F guidelines, indicating meet approach mineralization threshold, whereas reduced biodegradation efficacy. Potential predicted through zein number (ZN), finding some combinations reduce highlighting safer formulation products come into direct contact skin.

Bio-Based Surfactants and Biosurfactants: An Overview and Main Characteristics

Molecules, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 30(4), P. 863 - 863

Published: Feb. 13, 2025

Natural surfactants are surface-active molecules synthesized from renewable resources (i.e., plants, animals, or microorganisms) and possess properties comparable to conventional surfactants, making them an environmentally friendly potential alternative petrochemical surfactants. Additionally, they exhibit biological such as anti-microbial properties, biodegradability, less toxicity, allowing their use in everyday products with minimal risk human health the environment. Based on mode of production, natural can be classified into first-generation bio-based second-generation biosurfactants, although definition may vary depending author literature. This review offers extensive classification focusing composition, sources, production methods, applications across various industries. Furthermore, main challenges future perspectives discussed.

Effects of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) on zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) gills and blood

Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 87(8), P. 357 - 370

Published: Feb. 2, 2024

Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) is an important surfactant used as a cleaning agent and industrial additive to remove unwanted chemicals which have been detected in the aquatic environment. The aim of this study was examine toxicological potential SDBS on gills adult male zebrafish (Danio rerio) exposed chemical. For 96 hr acute exposure, fish were divided into three groups: control, 0.25 mg/L, 0.5 mg/L SDBS. After experiment, morphophysiological analyses (gill histopathology histochemistry), oxidative stress (determination gill activities superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalase (CAT)), hematological (leukocyte differentiation) conducted. Data demonstrated that at both tested concentrations altered histopathological index initiated circulatory disturbances, well adverse, progressive, immunological changes gills. In group, SOD activity decreased significantly, but CAT not altered. Prominent blood observed group neutrophilia lymphocytosis. number mucous chloride cells increased significantly groups. Taken together, our findings exposure D. rerio SDBS, even for hr, produced adverse morphological effects associated with reduction activity. Our indicate species anionic may lead consequences stress. Therefore, highlights risks substance pose ecosystems emphasizes need further investigations strict regulations its disposal.
