Abstract :
New classes of Cationic Gemini Surfactants (CGS1) have emerged which are composed of two hydrophobic tails and two cationic head groups linked by spacer group. The Cationic Gemini Surfactants were identified by FTIR-spectrophotometer and CHN analysis. The several properties were studied such as (pH, density, viscosity, surface tension, freezing point, stability time, electrical conductivity and biological activity). The prepared gemini surfactants are widely use as an effective emulsifiers, dispersion and antifoaming agents, but the important use in the present research is to treat pollution in the (O/W) emulsion, in addition to having a good biodegrabilty. The hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) was calculated.
