ABSTRACT: The study of surfactant solutions and microemulsions is relevant for many industrial applications that include oil recovery, environmental remediation, and detergency. Understanding the coupled nature of microstructure, phase behavior, and rheology can help in the design of these applications. The microstructure of surfactant solutions and microemulsions determines their equilibrium properties, including phase composition and viscosity. Modeling microemulsion phase behavior by explicitly defining the shape and size of micelles allows for the consistent estimation of phase viscosity. We define a coupled microstructure−phase behavior−viscosity model by considering a twodimensional lattice, where micelles are assumed to be elliptical. We also define equivalent three-dimensional models, where micelles are assumed to be oblate and prolate spheroids. The compositional dependence of the micellar radii is defined such that the oil-internal−bicontinuous−water-internal structural transitions are consistent with experimental observations. The model offers physical insights by modeling the transition between oil-internal−bicontinuous−water-internal regions in ternary diagrams as critical events, which are then tied to the unusual behavior observed in viscosity and scattering.

viscosity increases with increasing temperature because of structural transformations from globular micelles into rodlike micelles and then into networks;1 surfactant solutions also exhibit the viscosity double peak with increasing salinity.2,3

INTRODUCTION The study of surfactants in solution is of great interest for many industries for their role in detergents,1−3 well-stimulation and fracturing fluids,4−6 enhanced oil recovery,7,8 environmental remediation fluids,9 and drug delivery.10−12 For most of these applications, the ability to model and predict the solubilization capacity, rheological behavior, and micellar aggregation size and shape can be helpful in the design and optimization for the target process.

MODELING APPROACHES Einstein29,30 proposed one of the earliest models for estimating the viscosity of emulsions in the limit of dilute hard spheres. Matsumoto and Sherman31 accounted for the increase in particle size distribution in microemulsions to describe the viscosity increase with an increase in dispersed-phase concentration. De Kruif et al.32 proposed a suspension viscosity model in the low-shear limit that consisted of a cubic polynomial relationship of the dispersed-phase volume fraction. This model was later improved by accounting for the temperature dependence in the polynomial coefficients.28 More recently, coupled phase behavior and viscosity modeling has been proposed using the net and average curvature framework33 with the hydrophilic−lipophilic deviation (H) concept34 under the constant geometry assumption of cylinders with hemispherical end caps35 and spheres.36 Until now, no attempt has been made to model the doublepeak viscosity behavior of surfactant solutions and microemulsions by explicitly capturing the change in micellar

EXPERIMENTAL OBSERVATIONS

The link among microstructure, microemulsion composition, and viscosity has been experimentally corroborated by various researchers. A change in the overall composition by decreasing the water−oil ratio for an amphiphilic oil−water system led to electrical, optical, NMR, and viscosity observations that were in agreement with the following structural transition mechanism: water-internal spheres, then waterinternal cylinders, then repeating lamellae of oil and water domains, then oil-internal cylinders, and oil-internal spheres.13,14 The size of the micellar domains can be determined using low-angle X-ray diffraction, light scattering, electron microscopy, and viscosity.15−21 Critical behavior, such as the divergence of correlation length, has been linked to sharp increases in viscosity for aqueous micellar solutions and microemulsion systems.22,23 An increase in salinity for a microemulsion system caused a double divergence of the correlation length,24 which was associated with consistent structural transitions as those for compositional changes13,14 and corresponded to the doublepeak behavior in viscosity measurements.25,26 The dependence of viscosity on correlation length near critical points has also been observed for changes in temperature.27,28 For surfactant solutions, © XXXX American Chemical Society

In this paper, we present a lattice-based model for micelles. The model is used to define the correlation length, phase behavior, and viscosity in a coupled framework. Finally, the model is compared to scattering, phase behavior and viscosity data for both surfactant solutions and microemulsions.

where the superscript, bic, denotes bicontinuity. The corresponding equations for the three-dimensional (3D) micelles using prolate and oblate spheroid geometries are shown in the Supporting Information. For a ternary diagram, where only a two-phase region is present, any overall composition inside the two-phase region will separate into a microemulsion phase and a component j-rich excess phase, with j ≠ i and j = o, w. Here we assume that the excess phase is pure, so that Vj = Vjj, where Vj denotes the total volume of the phase. We consider that the two-phase region can be subdivided into three different structural domains: oil-internal, water-internal, and bicontinuous.13,14 The oil-internal regime occurs for a water-rich microemulsion, with σ°w ≥ σblw , where the ° superscript denotes that the water component is continuous in the microemulsion phase and the bl superscript denotes the limiting tie-line for the onset of bicontinuity. Similarly, the water-internal regime occurs for an oil-rich microemulsion with σo° ≥ σblo . Finally, the bicontinuous regime occurs for an intermediate composition microemulsion, where both σw° < σblw and σ°o < σblo hold. For emphasis, we set σ°i ≡ σbic i for i = o, w during bicontinuity. In the limit of σ°j → ∞ micelles are iinternal and we assume they approach a circular shape, with rbi → rai. As σj° → σblj we have rbi → ∞. On the basis of the assumption of pure excess phases, we consider both critical points to coincide with pure phase compositions. Therefore, as the overall composition approaches the limiting tie-line at the i,cp critical point (σi,cp = ∞. j ), we have rai → ∞, such that σi = σi By considering these limits, we found the following definitions for the radii to be appropriate

We define a component to be continuous when rbi → ∞, and the microemulsion to be bicontinuous when rbi → ∞ holds for i = o, w simultaneously. Therefore, for a bicontinuous microemulsion, eq 7 simplifies to r σi bic = 2 ai + λi (8) L

average diameter equation for i-internal micelles (eq 3) with eq 15 allows for an effective micellar diameter definition consistent with scattering data through eq 2 and viscosity data, as shown in what follows. Microemulsion Viscosity Model. The microemulsion viscosity must approach the excess phase viscosity when the microemulsion composition approaches the corresponding critical point (Cim → 1 with Cij ≡ ((Vij)/(Vj)) and i = o, w). A simple function that takes such limits into account is μm = Comμo + Cwmμw, with μj being the viscosity of phase j. Experimental data suggest that the viscosity of microemulsions and surfactant solutions reaches a local maximum at the onset of bicontinuity, which corresponds to ξ → ∞ in our lattice model. We then propose the following viscosity model

where Ka and Kb are adjustable parameters with dimensions of length to be determined from the phase behavior or scattering data. The solubilization of component i in a bicontinuous microemulsion is then obtained by substituting eqs 9 into 8 σi bic =

Equations 7−10 allow for modeling of two-phase regions (i.e., H ≤ HL for type I microemulsions and H ≥ HU for type II microemulsions). However, for HL < H < HU, we need to define the dependence of the invariant point (i.e., the threephase microemulsion composition) on H. At H = HL, the invariant point coincides with the pure-water critical point, so 3 w,cp that σ3w = σw,cp w = ∞ and σo = σo , where superscript 3 denotes the three-phase microemulsion. Analogously, at H = HU, the invariant point coincides with the pure-oil critical point, so that σ3o = σo,cp = ∞ and σ3w = σo,cp o w . Finally, when the three-phase microemulsion is in the bicontinuous regime, it must follow eq 10, which says (σo3 − σow,cp)(σw3 − σwo,cp) =

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In this section, we demonstrate the ability of the proposed elliptical lattice model to capture the phase behavior, viscosity, and correlation time from dynamic light scattering. First, we consider a case of aqueous surfactant solutions at different salinities, where both correlation time and viscosity data are available. Then, we consider a case where the phase behavior and viscosity of microemulsions are available for various overall compositions at a fixed salinity. Finally, we consider two sets of salinity scans for a pure and a commercial surfactant formulation at a constant overall composition, with each set consisting of three different linear alkanes. Model parameters for all cases studied are in Tables 1−2. Modeling Correlation Time and Viscosity for Aqueous Surfactant Solutions as a Function of Salinity. Gaudino et al.38 studied the correlation time and viscosity of aqueous surfactant solutions as a function of salinity (see Figure 2). They considered the cetylpyridiniumchloride (CPyCl) surfactant and NaCl brine solutions. The figure shows both correlation time and viscosity correlated with their response to salinity. In the low-salinity regime (H < 0), the properties increased until they reached a local maximum value. After this, the properties decreased until they reached a local minimum close to H = 0. The behavior is qualitatively

whereas for H ≤ 0, we have

if X ≤ −X max

where X ≡ Com − Cwm. This compositional definition for β allows for giving importance to the viscosity at both peaks and at optimum. For the composition range X ∈ [−Xmax, Xmax], we interpolate with a quadratic equation of the form β(X) = c1X2 + c2, where the constants, c1 and c2, are determined by the boundary values based on eq 18. Equation 17 can also be defined using a hypothetical phase behavior parameter to capture the viscosity of aqueous surfactant solutions.

We also consider the composition range of the bicontinuous region to be dependent on H. Near optimum (H = 0), the composition range for bicontinuity is maximum, whereas as | H|→ ∞, the composition range for bicontinuity is minimum. For H > 0, we have

σwbl = σwbl,max

Hoffmann3 reviewed the origin of these viscosity peaks for viscoelastic aqueous surfactant solutions as a function of salt concentration. The complex behavior is a result of the various mechanisms for stress relaxation present in the networks of cylindrical micellar solutions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to continuously model both viscosity and correlation time for such systems. Modeling Phase Behavior and Viscosity as a Function of the Overall Composition.

symmetric for the high-salinity regime (H > 0). Although our model relies on the definition of phase behavior for surfactant−oil−brine systems to define the correlation time and viscosity of microemulsion solutions, we define effective phase behavior parameters to estimate the corresponding properties for these aqueous surfactant solutions. Most notably, we want to show that the model’s definition of viscosity as a function of effective diameter is consistent with experimental observations, where both viscosity and scattering data are available. This system displays a very challenging behavior, where viscosity varies by about 5 orders of magnitude over the sampled salinity range; this behavior was adequately captured by the proposed model. In this case, we define effective phase behavior and viscosity for aqueous surfactant solutions by considering a high-salinity pseudocomponent to replace the oil component.

As the overall composition changes, the corresponding microemulsion composition shifts from water-rich (i.e., Xm < 0) to oil-rich (i.e., Xm > 0). The behavior shows a similar double-peak viscosity behavior in composition, which is modeled with each peak corresponding to transitions from oil-internal to bicontinuous micelles (in the case of Xm

a commercial (Figure 5) surfactant formulation. The pure surfactant was sodium 4-(1-heptyl-nonyl)benzenesulfonate (SHBS), which is also known as SPHS or Texas No. 1. The commercial surfactant was TRS 10-80 from Witco Chemical Company. The cosolvents used were tertiary amyl alcohol (tAA) and isobutyl alcohol (iBA). For each formulation, the following linear n-alkane oils were used: nC8, nC10, and nC14. Brine solutions were made with NaCl. The viscosity behavior for both formulations as a function of salinity is consistent with those obtained in the case of viscoelastic surfactant solutions and for a composition scan. The mechanisms in this case are likely to be similar to those observed in the composition scan, where, as the salinity increases, the microemulsion transitions from a Winsor type I (i.e., water-rich microemulsion) to a Winsor type II (i.e., oil-rich microemulsion) passing through a Winsor type III. For all six cases, the model accurately captures both phase behavior and viscosity.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS We presented a new model to simultaneously capture the phase behavior, viscosity, and scattering observations for surfactant solutions and microemulsions. The model defines micellar radii that determine whether the phase is waterinternal, bicontinuous, or oil-internal. These radii are assumed to be a function of both overall composition and surfactant affinity, and the resulting phase behavior and viscosity modeling results are consistent with experimental observations. Furthermore, the dependence of viscosity on the effective micellar diameter is corroborated with scattering observations for aqueous surfactant solutions. The impact of this approach is to allow for an integrated property description of microemulsion and aqueous surfactant solutions, which can be helpful in the design and optimization of industrial-scale processes.
