A 1,3-dihexadecyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-3-ium-tetraphenylborate (DHBI-TPB) ion-pair implemented in DHBI-TPB surfactant sensor was used for the potentiometric quantification of anionic surfactants in detergents and commercial household care products. The DHBI-TPB ion-pair was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and computational analysis which revealed a crucial contribution of the C–H∙∙∙π contacts for the optimal complex formation. The DHBI-TPB sensor potentiometric response showed excellent analytical properties and Nernstian slope for SDS (60.1 mV/decade) with LOD 3.2 × 10−7 M; and DBS (58.4 mV/decade) with LOD 6.1 × 10−7 M was obtained. The sensor possesses exceptional resistance to different organic and inorganic interferences in broad pH (2–10) range. DMIC used as a titrant demonstrated superior analytical performances for potentiometric titrations of SDS, compared to other tested cationic surfactants (DMIC > CTAB > CPC > Hyamine 1622). The combination of DHBI-TPB sensor and DMIC was successfully employed to perform titrations of the highly soluble alkane sulfonate homologues. Nonionic surfactants (increased concentration and number of EO groups) had a negative impact on anionic surfactant titration curves and a signal change. The DHBI-TPB sensor was effectively employed for the determination of technical grade anionic surfactants presenting the recoveries from 99.5 to 101.3%. The sensor was applied on twelve powered samples as well as liquid-gel and handwashing home care detergents containing anionic surfactants. The obtained results showed good agreement compared to the outcomes measured by ISE surfactant sensor and a two-phase titration method. The developed DHBI-TPB surfactant sensor could be used for quality control in industry and has great potential in environmental monitoring.

A simple, reliable and accurate HPLC/CAD method was developed for the determination of anionic (sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate and sodium 1-dodecane sulfonate), amphoteric (CHAPS (3-[(3-Cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonium]-1-propanesulfonate hydrate)) and cationic (benzethonium chloride) surfactants mixture from surface water samples. The chromatographic analysis was performed on an Acclaim Surfactant Plus (150 x 3.0 mm, 3 mm d.p.) column acquired from Thermo Scientific, kept at 300C. All experiments were performed in gradient elution conditions at a flow-rate of 0.6 mL/min. Mobile phase composition was a mixture of acetonitrile (A) and 0.1 M ammonium acetate solution acidified to pH 5 with acetic acid (B). The limit of detection (LD) were 20 mg/L for anionic surfactants and 30 mg/L for cationic and amphoteric surfactants. The calibration curves were linear between 15 mg/L � 110 mg/L, with R2 values above 0.992 for all surfactants. Solid phase extraction (SPE) using polymeric (Strata X) cartridges has been applied to extract and concentrate the target analytes from the synthetic samples. Surfactants recoveries after SPE procedure were situated between 91.5�94.6%. Intra-day and inter-day precision (RSD%) were situated between 4.0 � 7.7% and 7.5 � 11.7%, respectively. Limit of quantitation (LQ) was lower than 80 mg/L for anionic surfactants and 90 mg/L for cationic and 100 mg/L for amphoteric surfactants. The new sensitive and selective HPLC/CAD developed method allows simultaneous determination of anionic, amphoteric and cationic surfactants mixture from environmental samples (surface water).

The purpose of the work was to develop Express methods for determining cationic and anionic surfactants in disinfectants and process solutions. The surfactant concentration was determined visually and colorimetrically by the intensity of color of the indicator zones of paper test strips or by the length of the colored (discolored) zones of test strips laminated in a polymer film. Semi-quantitative determination of surfactants in solutions was carried out by the intensity of color of the zones of indicator test strips pasted on the substrate (test titration on paper). Bromphenol blue was used as an indicator. The titrant was sodium dodecyl sulfate for cationic surfactants and cetylpyridinium chloride for anionic surfactants. Test strips were used for the determination of surfactants in the disinfectant solutions. The concentration in the range of 0.1 – 1.2% was determined by comparing the color with the standard color scale. The duration of the analysis was 3 – 5 min. Quantitative determination of surfactants was carried out by the length of the colored (discolored) zones of test strips glued in a polymer film. As an indicator for cationic surfactants, bromphenol blue (blue zone on the test strip) was used, and for anionic surfactants, an associate of bromphenol blue with cetylpyridinium chloride (discolored zone on the test strip). The determination range of the surfactant made up 16 – 1000 mg/liter. The concentration was determined according to a calibration graph representing the dependence of the length of the blue/discolored zone of the test strips on the concentration of surfactants in the solution. The relative standard deviation of the analysis results does not exceed 0.3; the analysis duration was 20 – 30 min.
