Determination of poly(oxyethylene) non-ionic surfactants by two-phase titration.
The solvent extraction of non-ionic surfactants with sodium hydroxide and tetraphenylborate has been studied, and a method developed for the determination of non-ionic surfactants by two-phase titration. A hydrophobic indicator system was used. The method is valid only when the concentration of anionic surfactant in the sample solution is lower than 1 x 10(-4)M.
