Abstract
Benzo[a]pyrene is difficult to remove from soil due to its high octanol/water partition coefficient. The use of mixed surfactants can increase solubility but with the risk of secondary soil contamination, and the compounding mechanism is still unclear. This study introduced a new approach using environmentally friendly fatty acid methyl ester sulfonate (MES) and alkyl polyglucoside (APG) to solubilize benzo[a]pyrene. The best result was obtained when the ratio of MES/APG was 7:1 under 6 g/L total concentration, with an apparent solubility (Sw) of 8.58 mg/L and a molar solubilization ratio (MSR) of 1.31 for benzo[a]pyrene, which is comparable to that of Tween 80 (MSR, 0.95). The mechanism indicates that the hydroxyl groups (-OH) in APG form "O-H···OSO2-" hydrogen bonding with the sulfonic acid group (-SO3-) of MES, which reduces the electrostatic repulsion between MES molecules, thus facilitating the formation of large and stable micelles. Moreover, the strong solubilizing effect on benzo[a]pyrene should be ascribed to the low polarity of ester groups (-COOCH3) in MES. Functional groups capable of forming hydrogen bonds and having low polarity are responsible for the enhanced solubilization of benzo[a]pyrene. This understanding helps choose suitable surfactants for the remediation of PAH-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Surfactants are commonly utilized in chemical flooding processes alongside salt to effectively decrease interfacial tension (IFT). However, the underlying microscopic mechanism for the synergistic effect of salt and surfactants on oil displacement remains ambiguous. Herein, the structure and properties of the interface between water and n-dodecane are studied by means of molecular dynamics simulations, considering three types of anionic surfactants and two types of salts. As the salt concentration (ρsalt) increases, the IFT first decreases to a minimum value, followed by a subsequent increase to higher values. The salt ions reduce the IFT only at low ρsalt due to the salt screening effect and ion bridging effect, both of which contribute to a decrease in the nearest head-to-head distance of surfactants. By incorporating salt doping, the IFTs can be reduced by at most 5%. Notably, the IFTs of different surfactants are mainly determined by the hydrogen bond interactions between oxygen atoms in the headgroup and water molecules. The presence of a greater number of oxygen atoms corresponds to lower IFT values. Specifically, for alkyl ethoxylate sulfate, the ethoxy groups play a crucial role in reducing the IFTs. This study provides valuable insights into formulating anionic surfactants that are applicable to oil recovery processes in petroleum reservoirs using saline water.

Abstract
Mixtures of anionic-cationic surfactants have shown high synergistic effects in the bulk solution and at the liquid/air interface. These studies have been limited to a reduced concentration range, where there is no formation of aggregates or precipitates. The addition of host molecules, such as cyclodextrins, to these systems reduces the effects of precipitation by forming inclusion complexes and also modifies the values of other surfactant properties, like the Krafft temperature and the critical aggregation concentration (CAC). We studied the interfacial synergistic effects promoted by electrostatic interactions, using the Rosen model to calculate an interaction parameter for mixtures of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) in the presence of α-cyclodextrin (αCD), in aqueous solutions. We measured the CAC of SDS-DTAB-αCD mixtures using a pendant drop tensiometer, with the αCD concentration fixed at 10 mM and at 283.15 K. We performed rheological measurements on the mixtures where the surfactant total concentration is fixed below the measured CAC, varying the αCD concentration and temperature. We found that the dilatational modulus shows a clear correlation with the interaction parameter. It appears that the attractive interactions within the film are those due to the inclusion complexes formed by two αCD and one surfactant molecule, which according to the previous studies, is the dominant species in both the bulk and liquid/air interface. The synergistic effect observed here for SDS-DTAB surfactant mixtures with αCD can be applied to systems and processes (drop emission, drug delivery methods, stabilization of viral capsids and bacterial membranes, and emulsification) where interfacial processes require specific viscoelastic properties.

Abstract
Betaine is a kind of zwitterionic surfactant with both positive and negative charge groups on the polar head, showing good surface activity and aggregation behaviors. The interfacial adsorption, structures and properties of n-dodecyl betaine (NDB) at different surface coverages at the air-water interface are studied through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Interactions between the polar heads and water molecules, the distribution of water molecules around polar heads, the tilt angle of the NDB molecule, polar head and tail chain with respect to the surface normal, the conformations and lengths of the tail chain, and the interfacial thickness of the NDB monolayer are analyzed. The change of surface coverage hardly affects the locations and spatial distributions of the water molecules around the polar heads. As more NDB molecules are adsorbed at the air-water interface, the number of hydrogen bonds between polar heads and water molecules slightly decreases, while the lifetimes of hydrogen bonds become larger. With the increase in surface coverage, less gauche defects along the alkyl chain and longer NDB chain are obtained. The thickness of the NDB monolayer also increases. At large surface coverages, tilted angles of the polar head, tail chain and whole NDB molecule show little change with the increase in surface area. Surface coverages can change the tendency of polar heads and the tail chain for the surface normal.

Abstract
Spraying water-based materials on the coal surface is a common means of coal dust suppression. There are obvious dynamic wetting behaviors during droplets impacting coal. To explore the spreading behavior and wetting characteristics of anionic surfactant droplets on bituminous coal, three anionic surfactants, which are sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDDS), and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), were used for the droplet impact experiment and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The results show that the addition of anionic surfactants can promote the wetting behavior of the droplet, and the difference between the head group and the tail group of the surfactant molecules can affect the wettability of the droplet. The dimensionless spreading coefficient shows the rule of SDBS > SDS > SDDS. When the concentration does not reach critical micelle concentration (CMC), the surface tension decreases and the dimensionless spreading coefficient of droplets increases with the increase of concentration. When the droplet concentration reaches the CMC, surface tension is no longer an effective indicator to evaluate the wettability of droplets. The dimensionless spreading coefficient can effectively evaluate the macroscopic spreading wetting behavior of droplets, and it is better than the surface tension. MD simulation results show that the interaction between anionic surfactants and coal molecules can affect the adsorption behavior, and the interaction energy and adhesion work are shown as the rule of SDBS < SDS < SDDS. The results of MD simulation and the impact experiment show that the intermolecular adsorption behavior has a significant influence on the spreading process. The results of MD simulation further explain the results of the droplet impact experiment.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS The milder interaction with biosystems makes the zwitterionic surfactants an important class of surfactants, and they are widely used in biological applications and in personal care formulations. An important aspect of those applications is their strong synergistic interaction with anionic surfactants. It is anticipated that the strong interaction will significantly affect the adsorption and self-assembly properties. EXPERIMENTS Surface tension, ST, neutron reflectivity, NR, and small angle neutron scattering, SANS, have been used here to explore the synergistic mixing in micelles and at the air-water interface for the zwitterionic surfactant, dodecyldimethylammonium propanesulfonate, C12SB, and the anionic surfactants, alkyl ester sulfonate, AES, in the absence and presence of electrolyte, 0.1 M NaCl. FINDINGS At the air-water interface the asymmetry of composition in the strong synergistic interaction and the changes with added electrolyte and anionic surfactant structure reflect the relative contributions of the electrostatic and steric interactions to the excess free energy of mixing. In the mixed micelles the synergy is less pronounced and indicates less severe packing constraints. The micelle structure is predominantly globular to elongated, and shows a pronounced micellar growth with composition which depends strongly upon the nature of the anionic surfactant and the addition of electrolyte.

Abstract
In situ flushing through surfactant-enhanced aquifer remediation (SEAR) technology has long been recognized as a promising technique for NAPL removal from contaminated aquifers. However, there have been few studies on the choice of surfactants. In this work, the interaction quantitative model between resonance light scattering intensity and the concentration of binary surfactant mixtures NP-10+SDBS and NP-10+CTAB was established, and the mechanism of binary surfactant interaction was explored through the model by the resonance light scattering method. The relationship between the model constants and NAPL solubilization was also investigated to better address the application of surfactants in practical NAPL-contaminated site remediation. The critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of nonylphenol ethoxylate (NP-10), dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), and the binary surfactant mixtures were measured by resonance light scattering (RLS), which were consistent with those obtained from surface tension measurements. In all cases, the RLS signals exhibited similar variations with surfactant concentration. A quantitative calculation model based on the RLS measurement data was established, and the binding constants KNP-10+SDBS and KNP-10+CTAB were calculated to be 0.66 and 1.51 L·mmol-1, respectively, according to the equilibrium equations. The results showed that the binding constants have a significant positive correlation with NAPL solubilization.

Abstract
Air-water interfaces are ubiquitous in nature, as manifested in the form of the surfaces of oceans, lakes, and atmospheric aqueous aerosols. The aerosol droplets interface, in particular, plays a critical role in numerous atmospheric chemistry processes. Methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) and methacrolein (MACR), two abundant volatile organic compounds, are the significant precursors of Criegee intermediates and secondary organic aerosol. In this work, the physicochemical properties of MVK and MACR at the air-water interface are studied from a theoretical perspective. The free energy wells of MVK and MACR occur at the air-water interface, and the absorption probabilities of them are 71% and 67%, respectively. Repulsion dominates the interactions between MVK/MACR and water molecules in the bulk region, while attraction is dominant at the interface. The two molecules tend to tilt at the interface, with the CC bond exposed at the outer interface. The most likely reaction scenario of O3-initiated MVK/MACR reaction in the troposphere is also determined for the first time. Based on the molecular dynamics simulation results, the activity sequence of MVK + O3 is given at four different environments by the density functional theory method: air-water interface, mineral clusters interface, bulk solution, and homogeneous gas. The interfacial water molecule can catalyze the reaction of MVK with O3, and the rate constant at the air-water interface is ~6 times larger than that on the mineral surface model. Compared with mineral particles, aqueous particles play a more significant role in modifying the reaction properties of atmospheric organic species.
