The present study outlines the approach that was employed for cloning, expression, and characterization of the recombinant pullulanase enzyme from Bacillus cereus ATCC 14579 into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) using pET‐25b (+) expression vector. The recombinant pullulanase enzyme was purified using ammonium sulfate precipitation and immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC). The molecular mass of the purified pullulanase enzyme was measured using sodium dodecyl sulfate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE) as 95 kDa. The purified recombinant pullulanase enzyme demonstrated significant thermal stability, maintaining its structural integrity and functionality at temperatures as high as 90°C over a period of 4 h. The inclusion of divalent metal ions, specifically Ca2+ and Mg2+, had a positive effect on the activity of the pullulanase enzyme. Conversely, the presence of Co2+ and EDTA (Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic acid) resulted in suppression of the enzyme activity. The purified pullulanase enzyme demonstrated remarkable resistance when exposed to organic solvents. The enzyme activity was notably decreased in the presence of SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) while β‐mercaptoethanol and tween‐60 did not substantially affect the enzyme activity and stability which suggest its potential applicability in the detergent sector. This discovery indicates a potential approach to improve the effectiveness of currently available detergents in the marketplace.

Sodium stearyl polyoxypropylene acetates (SC18PpC, p = 3, 6, 9) were synthesized through a two‐step process involving propoxylation of stearyl alcohol and subsequent carboxymethylation. Stearyl polyoxypropylene acetic acids (C18PpC, p = 3, 6, 9), the acidified products of SC18PpC, were characterized by FT‐IR, 1H‐NMR, and ESI‐MS. The properties of SC18PpC were extensively investigated and compared with sodium dodecanoate (SD) and sodium stearate (SS). The solubility of SC18PpC in cold water was enhanced. Kraft temperature (Tk) of SC18P3C is 40°C which is significantly lower than SS, and Tk of SC18PpC (p = 6, 9) are even less than 0°C. SC18PpC exhibits overall greater hard water resistance compared to SD and SS with the hardness of 0 to 450 mg/L. The hard water resistance of SC18PpC escalates proportionally with the length of the spacer, and the aqueous solution of SC18P9C retains its clarity even when exposed to the hard water of 450 mg/L, the maximum hardness level of Chinese tap water. SC18PpC demonstrates efficiency and effectiveness in reducing surface tension, as well as better foaming, emulsification and wetting power compared to SD and SS. These improved properties make SC18PpC (p = 3, 6) more effective in detergency on three typical soiled fabrics compared to that of sodium soap. Specifically, the detergency to sebum‐stained fabric of SC18P3C exhibits 1.5 times and 1.3 times improvement compared to SD and SS, respectively. Therefore, it is recommended to incorporate SC18PpC (p = 3, 6) in the detergent formulations for washing intimate apparel in tap water.

In high‐temperature and high‐salt environments, emulsions stabilized by surfactants are susceptible to instability phenomena, such as droplet coalescence, thereby limiting their utility in tertiary oil recovery. The Pickering emulsions, which are stabilized by solid particles, have been proved to exhibit good stability. This study demonstrated that the nonionic surfactant C16E20 can adsorb onto SiO2 nanoparticles with an efficiency exceeding 99%, rendering C16E20 suitable for modulating the wettability of SiO2 nanoparticles. By adjusting the proper surfactant‐to‐nanoparticle ratio, such as 0.1%:1.0%, a hydrophilic–lipophilic equilibrium is obtained, which is beneficial for the preparation of Pickering emulsions. Laser confocal and cryo‐scanning electron microscopy results indicated that SiO2 nanoparticles in Pickering emulsions were dispersed at the oil–water interface, forming a network structure between the emulsion droplets. Further experiments illustrated that the Pickering emulsions showed excellent stability for at least 180 days at 80°C. Conventional emulsions behave as Newtonian fluids at lower oil‐phase ratios, while Pickering emulsions exhibit non‐Newtonian fluid properties, with their viscosity capable of increasing by over 100 times. Additionally, Pickering emulsions were found to exhibit thixotropy, attributed to the reversible formation and destruction of droplet bridging structures. Overall, Pickering emulsions are regarded as potential agents for Enhanced Oil Recovery in oilfield development.

Cold‐adapted, alkali‐stable lipases with surfactant tolerance are highly sought after in the detergent industry. In this study, we recombinantly expressed and characterized a novel lipase from Marinobacter nanhaiticus (MNL). The purified MNL exhibited high stability within a temperature range of 10–30°C and pH values of 8–10, demonstrating optimal activity at 20°C and pH 8. MNL has a preference for substrates with medium chains with the best activity being 3768.6 U/mg using p‐nitrophenyl decanoate as a substrate. Remarkably, MNL showed enhanced enzymatic activity in the presence of ionic surfactants and displayed notable resilience when exposed to proteases. Washing performance analysis further revealed MNL's high proficiency in removing oil‐based stains from fabrics. Collectively, these results suggest that MNL holds significant promise as a valuable component in laundry detergent formulations.

Conventional perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluorosurfactants (PFOS) have caused great harm to human health and the environment, but the irreplaceable properties of fluorosurfactants offer great values. To this end, we have synthesized a highly surface active, environmentally friendly sulfonate surfactant (PBSA) with a perfluorinated branched short chain and systematically investigated its thermal stability, surface properties, wetting performance, and so forth. The minimal surface tension (γCMC) and critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the aqueous solution of PBSA were 22.70 mN/m and 0.067 mmol/L, respectively. In addition, the binary system of PBSA and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) exhibited excellent synergistic effects: γCMC and CMC values were reduced to 18.94 mN/m and 0.008 mmol/L. Moreover, the PBSA/CTAB mixed solution exhibited superb wetting ability: it could achieve complete wetting of PTFE plates at low concentrations (1.82 × 10−3 mol/L), with a minimum wetting concentration of only 2.84 × 10−5 mol/L.

Amino acid surfactants have mild performance and are sourced from renewable biomass. Compared to classical surfactants, Gemini surfactants have superior properties. The amino acid Gemini surfactants are believed to be adopted more widely. The Gemini surfactant with tripeptide structure, sodium di(lauroyl glutamyl) lysine (DLGL), was prepared by amidation utilizing methyl laurate, glutamate and lysine and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS. Additionally, the pKa value, surface activities, aggregation, foaming properties and emulsifying attributes of the DLGL surfactant in aqueous solution with varied pH values were examined. The results indicate that the protonation‐deprotonation behavior of the DLGL surfactant is highly dependent on pH values. The surface tension, critical micelle concentration (cmc), foamability and foam stability exhibited superior performance at pH 6 and 7. Conversely, superior emulsifying ability was observed at pH 9 and 10. Moreover, the spherical vesicles were formed by the DLGL surfactant at pH 6, 7 or 8 while the micelles were generated at pH 9 or 10.

Current natural sources of mid-cut alcohol (MCA), a key ingredient in cleaning formulations, present several challenges. One solution is to use insect oils instead of palm kernel oil (PKO) or coconut oil (CNO). In particular, black soldier fly (BSF) larvae oil is a promising raw material that provides a sustainable, natural feedstock for MCA. The estimation of its PCF leads to strongly negative values, driven by a very low land use change. The fact that low-value by-products are upgraded by BSF larvae is an additional advantage and avoids any competition with food crops. This study shows that BSF larvae oil can be a drop-in replacement for PKO and CNO, leading to more sustainable ingredients for cleaning formulations. The technical proof of principle for the production of fatty alcohols has been demonstrated and up-scaling to large commercial volumes should be straightforward. A potential barrier to consumer acceptance is expected to be lowered in the future. In certain regions or applications, successful market entry may already be possible today.

This study explores the efficacy of a cost‐effective, functionalized adsorbent derived from bagasse fly ash (FA) for the removal of the surfactant sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) from aqueous solutions. The raw bagasse FA underwent a modification process involving reflux with TiO2 in NaOH at 100°C for 24 h, resulting in a modified fly ash (MFA). Comparative analyses of the sorbents were conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X‐ray diffraction (pXRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface analysis, and Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR). The surface area of the original FA was found to be 10.795 m2 g−1, which increased to 30.597 m2 g−1 postmodification. Similarly, the crystallinity of FA was initially 49.36% and enhanced to 79.70% after the modification process. The adsorption process of SDBS onto both FA and MFA were found to follow pseudo‐second‐order kinetics. Moreover, the Langmuir adsorption isotherm was the most fitting model, as evidenced by the R2 values at 298 K for SDBS‐FA (0.99) and SDBS‐MFA (0.99), both of which are remarkably close to unity. The dimensionless separation factor (RL) was determined to be less than one, indicating favorable adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacities predicted by the Langmuir model are 156.00 mg/g for FA and a notably higher 231.48 mg/g for MFA. Thermodynamic analysis revealed a positive change in enthalpy (ΔHo) for SDBS‐FA and SDBS‐MFA of 54.50 and 124.48 KJ mol−1, respectively, suggesting endothermic adsorption. Additionally, the Gibbs free energy (ΔGo) was negative for both SDBS‐FA and SDBS‐MFA, suggesting that the adsorption of SDBS is spontaneous.

The surface area of the original FA was found to be 10.795 m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup> g<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>, which increased to 30.597 m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup> g<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> postmodification. Similarly, the crystallinity of FA was initially 49.36% and enhanced to 79.70% after the modification process. The adsorption process of SDBS onto both FA and MFA were found to follow pseudo‐second‐order kinetics. Moreover, the Langmuir adsorption isotherm was the most fitting model, as evidenced by the <jats:italic>R</jats:italic><jats:sup>2</jats:sup> values at 298 K for SDBS‐FA (0.99) and SDBS‐MFA (0.99), both of which are remarkably close to unity. The dimensionless separation factor (<jats:italic>R</jats:italic><jats:sub>L</jats:sub>) was determined to be less than one, indicating favorable adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacities predicted by the Langmuir model are 156.00 mg/g for FA and a notably higher 231.48 mg/g for MFA. Thermodynamic analysis revealed a positive change in enthalpy (Δ<jats:italic>H</jats:italic><jats:sup>o</jats:sup>) for SDBS‐FA and SDBS‐MFA of 54.50 and 124.48 KJ mol<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>, respectively, suggesting endothermic adsorption. Additionally, the Gibbs free energy (Δ<jats:italic>G</jats:italic><jats:sup>o</jats:sup>) was negative for both SDBS‐FA and SDBS‐MFA, suggesting that the adsorption of SDBS is spontaneous.","PeriodicalId":17083,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Surfactants and Detergents","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141862971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
