Enhanced Removal of Polystyrene Nanoplastics Using Dodecyltrimethylammonium Chloride

Enhanced removal of polystyrene nanoplastics by air flotation modified by dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride: Performance and mechanism Xu J, et al. Chinese Chemical Letters, 2024, 110240.

This study explores the use of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) as a modifier to enhance the efficiency of air flotation in removing polystyrene nanoplastics (PSNPs). The study compared the performance of conventional air flotation with DTAC-modified air flotation.
Conventional air flotation achieved a removal rate of only 3.09% for PSNPs. However, with DTAC-modified air flotation, the removal rate surged to 98.05%. The incorporation of DTAC reversed the electrostatic repulsion between bubbles and PSNPs, creating an electrostatic attraction that significantly enhanced the hydrophobic interactions in the system. This improved the collision and adhesion between bubbles and PSNPs, leading to a much higher removal rate.
Even with a reduced flotation time of 7 minutes, the DTAC-modified process maintained a high removal rate of 96.26%. Furthermore, variations in aeration, pH, and ionic strength did not significantly affect the performance, demonstrating the method's robustness and potential for practical application.
DTAC-modified air flotation significantly improves the removal of PSNPs from water, achieving over 95% efficiency under various conditions. This method shows great promise for addressing the environmental and health challenges posed by nanoplastics in water bodies.

Dodecyltrimethylammonium Chloride as a Shale Swelling Inhibitor in Water-Based Drilling Fluids

An investigation into shale swelling inhibition properties of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) for water-based drilling fluids Hosseini SE, et al. Geoenergy Science and Engineering, 2023, 223, 211465.

Dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) is a promising shale swelling inhibitor in water-based drilling fluids, offering superior performance, compatibility with other additives, and effective stabilization of shale formations.
DTAC demonstrated strong inhibition power in controlling and reducing shale and bentonite swelling at both low and high temperatures, even at low concentrations. Its performance was found to be superior to that of commonly used swelling inhibitors like Cetyltrimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB) and Ammonium Chloride (NH4Cl). DTAC is also well-compatible with other additives in drilling fluids, making it a versatile choice for various drilling conditions.
The effectiveness of DTAC is attributed to its ability to adsorb onto the surface of bentonite particles, reducing the negative charges on the plates, increasing hydrophobicity, and minimizing water molecule adsorption. This action stabilizes shale and bentonite particles, preventing excessive swelling when in contact with aqueous media.

Dodecyltrimethylammonium Chloride as a Template for the Synthesis of Cubic Mesoporous Silica

Facile synthesis and morphology control of highly ordered cubic mesoporous silica SBA-1 using short chain dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride as the structure-directing agent Ting C, et al. Microporous and Mesoporous Materials, 2008, 116(1-3), 323-329.

Dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (C12TMACl) was utilized as a template for synthesizing highly ordered cubic mesoporous silica SBA-1 (Pm3n intermediate phase) with diverse morphologies under strongly acidic conditions.
The synthesis procedure is as follows:
Commercially available short-chain surfactant C12TMACl, HCl, and distilled water were mixed at room temperature for 15 minutes to form a homogeneous solution. TEOS was then added to this solution. The resulting mixture, with a molar ratio of 0.5-4 C12TMACl:1-15 TEOS:90-460 HCl:3500 H2O, was stirred vigorously at the desired synthesis temperature (ranging from 0 to 90 °C) for 1 hour. Following this, the solution was aged under static conditions at the same temperature for an additional 24 hours, followed by hydrothermal treatment at 100 °C for 1 hour. The precipitate was then filtered (without washing) and dried overnight at 70 °C. Samples synthesized with a composition of 1 C12TMACl:5 TEOS:230 HCl:3500 H2O were designated as C12-SBA-T, where T indicates the synthesis temperature. To evaluate the thermal stability of the as-synthesized samples, they were calcined at different temperatures ranging from 550 to 900 °C for 6 hours. The template was removed by calcining the samples at 550 °C for 6 hours.
