    Abstract:

    In this paper, we choose the compound foaming agent system with better stability using a synergistic effect of the mixed system of anion and cation surfactant, and characteristics of formation of vesicles that foam stability increased. It is found that when the carbon chain length is less than 16, The longer the carbon chain, the better stability of foam. We have obtained the systems by means of orthogonal experimental design, the optimal mixture ratio of the system is SDS(Sodium Lauryl SulfateSodium Dodecyl Sulfate):AOS(Sodium Alpha-olefin Sulfonate):AES(Sodium Alcohol Ether Sulphate):CTAB(Hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium Bromide)=1:2:2:2,whose the half-life is nearly 4 times than SDS’s, and the polyoxyethylene chain makes the foam stability increase. At the same time, it is also found that The maximum value of the foam viscosity is 112mPa•s in a certain concentration of Na+, and The maximum value of the half-time is 50min. But it is easy to precipitate in the condition of Ca2+, and the foam performance will be worse. Through experimental evaluation, the mixed system showed the better salt-resistance, liquid carrying capacity and compatibility with methanol.
