dc.description.abstractThe interfacial activity of dispersants can be enhanced by combining two or more surfactants to formulate the dispersant. This paper examines the effects of Bio-Saponin (BS), a phytogenic surfactant on the interfacial activity of synthetic dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium salt (DOSS) usually adopted as a suitable surface-active agent in dispersants used in dealing with large-scale oil spills. The o/w emulsion created with the binary DOSS-BS was very stable and recorded the least average droplet size compared with that of DOSS only and BS only. Lower surface and interfacial tension values were also obtained from the DOSS-BS binary formulation. The dispersion effectiveness was also higher compared with that of DOSS and BS. However, they were dependent on the salinity and type of crude oil. These observations were attributed to the moderation of the interaction between the anionic head group of DOSS by the polysaccharide hydrophilic group of BS. The results revealed the potential application of DOSS-BS binary dispersant in oil spill remediation and in other processes that would require an effective emulsifier.en_US
