The solubilization sites of aniline and its derivatives in micelles were investigated with fluorescence probe technique. The fluorescence probes employed in this study are 12-(9-anthroyl) stearic acid (AS) and 2-p-toluidinylnaphthalene-6-sulfonate (TNS) which are incorporated in the interior of the micelle and attaced to its surface, respectively. As these two probes were effectively quenched by aniline and its surface, respectively. As these two probes were effectively quenched by aniline and its derivatives, the modified Stern-Volmer relationship in micellar system could be applicable to estimate the partition coefficient, $K_{p}$ of the solubilizate between aqueous and micellar phase. Because $K_{p}$ derived by this method reflects the relative proximity of the fluorophore to the quencher, the ratio of $K_{p}$ in the surface area to that in the interior of the micelle is interpreted in terms of the relative location of the solubilizate in micellar aggregate. The results show that the solubilizates are not located in a definite position but distributed in the multiple-sites of the micelle. The solubilization sites of the solubilizates in the icelle are dependent on their structures. As the solubilizate has more numbers of N-substituents of aniline and more numbers, of carbon in the substituent, it tends to incorporate in the interior of the micelle more effectively.

본 연구는 오염토양/지하수의 정화를 위하여 사용되는 계면활성제 교정기술의 보다 현실적인 평가를 위하여 토양에 흡착된 계면활성제에 대한 소수성 유기오염물인 Naphthalene과 Phenanthrene의 흡수현상에 대한 연구결과를 나타내었다. 음이온 계면활성제인 Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS)와 중성 계면활성제인 Tween 80의 흡착곡선은 소수성 꼬리 (hydrophobic tails)간의 상호작용에 의하여 S-형 모양을 보이며 이들 흡착된 계면활성제는 Micelle로 존재하는 계면활성제에 비하여 유기오염물에 대한 보다 강한 흡수능력을 나타내었다. 결과에 나타난 흡수능력의 차이는 계면활성제가 흡착되어있거나 Micelle상태로 존재할 경우 다른 구조를 형성하기 때문이라 사료된다. 흡수된 계면활성제와 Micelle의 상호경쟁에 의하여 유기오염물의 부동성(immobility)을 나타내는 분배계수(distribution coefficient)는 계면활성제의 농도에 반비례하였다. 결론적으로 토양/지하수의 오염물 정화를 위하여 계면활성제 교정기술의 적용 시 고정상 (solid phase)에 있는 흡착 계면활성제에 의한 유기오염물의 지체현상 (retardation)을 고려하여야 한다.

In this study, an ultrasound-assisted micellar extraction process was developed to efficiently purify the anticancer substance paclitaxel from the plant cell Taxus chinensis. The problem of many extraction steps and long phase separation time in the traditional micellar process could be dramatically improved. The highest paclitaxel yield (~96%, extracted twice) was obtained at 180 W of ultrasonic power and 1.5 h of ultrasonic irradiation time, which was 24.7% higher than that of the traditional method. In addition, the partition coefficient (K) showed a maximum value (24.0) at 180 W of ultrasonic power and 1.5 h of irradiation time. There was no significant difference in the purity of paclitaxel, and the purity of initial paclitaxel (6.81%) increased to 22.0% after purification. Compared to the traditional method, the phase separation time of the back extraction decreased by 40.7-56.2% (ultrasonic power 80 W), 46.3-67.6% (ultrasonic power 180 W), and 51.9-67.6% (ultrasonic power 250 W), respectively. The phase separation time decreased as the ultrasonic power (80-250 W) and irradiation time (0.5-2.5 h) increased.

Partitioning of two hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs), phenanthrene and naphthalene, to kaolinite and sorbed surfactants was studied to evaluate the feasibility of surfactant-enhanced remediation (SER) of contaminated subsurface systems. Sorbed surfactant partition coefficients. $K_ss$, showed a strong dependence on the surfactant sorption isotherms at low sorbed surfactant levels $K_ss$ values were at their highest and then decreased with increasing surfactant sorption densities. $K_ss$ values for SDS were always larger than corresponding $K_mic$values. For Tween 80, however. $K_ss$ values $K_mic$ were higher than $K_mic$ values only at the lower sorbed surfactant densities. HOC distribution between immobile and mobile phases varied with surfactant dose distribution coefficients increased initially with increasing surfactant concentrations and then decreased at higher doses. This observation shows directly the competition between sorbed and micellar surfactants for HOC partitioning. Overall results of this study demonstrate that surfactant sorption to the solid phase can lead to increases in HOC retardation in some SER applications. Therefore, before an SER process is selected, appropriate consideration of surfactant sorption and HOC partitioning to immobile versus mobile phases pertinent to a specific subsurface system must be contemplated.
