The present study focuses on describing the interactions between magnesium ions with anionic sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate (SDBS)–Flopaam AN125SH mixtures and the complexation of the magnesium with sodium citrate. Description of these interactions are important to evaluate the applicability of sodium citrate to decrease the undesired effects of alkaline earth cations in polymer-surfactant mixtures.
