Biodegradation of Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide (CTAB) and Methylparaben (MP) in Shampoo and Hair Dressing Salon Waste Utilizing Bacteria Extracted from Sewage Treatment Sludge | Chapter 1 | Chemistry and Biochemistry: Research Progress Vol. 5

Surfactants are amphipathic compounds consisting of both a hydrophobic region (alkyl chains of various lengths, e.g., alkyl phenyl ethers, alkyl benzenes, etc.) and a hydrophilic region (e.g., carboxyl, sulphate, sulphonates, phosphates, etc.). The present study investigated the biodegradation of Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and Methyl paraben (MP) both in Shampoo and hair dressing salon waste, using bacteria isolated from Sewage treatment sludge. The biodegradation was carried out according to the OECD Guideline for ready biodegradability and was monitored by Standard Spectrophotometric methods. The results obtained indicated that these compounds were degraded biotically by simple bacteria identified using a Microgen Kit for bacteria characterization.: Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas fluorescens degraded 98.3% of the initial CTAB level in the Standard CTAB solution on 13 days of incubation; Pseudomonas fluorescens and Actinobacillus hominis degraded 96.7% of the initial CTAB level on 10 days of incubation and 92.0% of the original MP on 13 days of incubation in the Shampoo solution; Pseudomonas aeurogonisa and Klebsiella planticola degraded 95.3% of the initial CTAB level on 5 days of incubation and 94.7% of the original MP level on 4 days of incubation in the washing solution; Pseudomonas aeuroginosa and Salmonella typhi were found present in the Inoculum control. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that the bacteria obtained from the sewage sludge can be used as a cost-effective and environmentally friendly agent for the biodegradation of surfactants in sewage treatment processes. The study recommended that the identified bacteria be applied individually for the biodegradation of surfactants so as to compare their biodegradation capacity and rate.

Potentiometric Studies of Complex Equlibria of Ca, Mg and Zn with 5-Sulphosalicylic Acid in Cationic Micelles of CTAB: Experimental Investigation| Chapter 11 | Research Aspects in Chemical and Materials Sciences Vol. 4

 In differing compositions of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5% w/v), alloy ligand complex species of 5-sulphosalicylic acid accompanying CaII, MgII, and ZnII metal ions have been checked potentiometrically (CTAB). The experiment was conducted at 303 K while utilizing NaCl to maintain an ionic substance of 0.16 mol dm-3. The dynamic variety belongs to 5-sulphosalicylic acid are LH2- and LH2-. Based on statistical characteristics to a degree skewness, 2, Kurtosis, and crystallographic R-determinant, the best fit of complicated adaptive evolution has been chosen. The complexation of 5-sulphosalicylic acid accompanying metal ions developed in the formation of ML2H, ML2H2, and ML3H3 type complexes. On the support of electrostatic grounds, the change instability of complex species with surfactant arrangement has been described. The distribution of chemical variety with regard to pH and differing compositions of medium, as well as attainable complicated equilibria, is more investigated.
