Specific ion effects on the interfacial tension of water/hydrocarbon systems
Specific ion effects - also known as Hofmeister effects - are ubiquitous in several areas of chemistry, chemical engineering and biology. The interfacial tension corresponds to the energy per unit of area at the interface. Thus, the presence of different salts in different concentrations changes the...
