Abstract
A new kind of hexyl diethyl tertiary amine-grafted amphiphilic alginate derivative (HDEA-Alg) was synthesized from (6-bromo-hexyl)-diethyl-amine (BHDEA) and sodium alginate (NaAlg) through esterification. The structure of HDEA-Alg was confirmed by FT-IR and NMR spectroscopies. The grafting ratio was calculated according elemental analysis and thermodynamic property was analyzed by TG. The CO2/N2-responsive performance of HDEA-Alg in aqueous solution was demonstrated by surface tension and conductivity measurements. Stable emulsions of liquid paraffin were easily prepared in the presence of the HDEA-Alg. These emulsions can be de-emulsified by bubbling CO2 through the emulsions at 5 °C for 30 min, resulting in complete oil/water phase separations. They can be re-emulsified by bubbling N2 through the solutions at 50 °C for 30 min with the aid of homogenization.
