The effect of the presence of alkylamines (n-propylamine, n-butylamine, n-pentylamine, n-octylamine, n-decylamine, n-laurylamine, i-butylamine, i-pentylamine, neopentylamine, sec-butylamine, tert-butylamine, methyl-n-octylamine, dimethylamine, dipropylamine, di-i-butylamine, dimethyl-n-laurylamine, dimethyl-n-octylamine, triethylamine, triethylamine, and diethylmethylamine) on the variation of electrical conductivity with the temperature of the ternary systems sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) + 2,2,4-trimethylpentane + water has been studied. Also, the effect of other amines (N-methylbenzylamine, dibenzylamine, diphenylamine, morpholine, piperazine, piperidine, and pyrrolidine) on the variation of electrical conductivity with the temperature of these ternary systems has been studied.

Introduction Microemulsions are transparent isotropic dispersions of an immiscible organic compound in water in the presence of a surfactant (Pileni, 1989). They are thermodynamically stable, and they have been described as consisting of spherical droplets of a disperse phase separated from a continuous phase by a film of surfactant (Pileni, 1989). Microemulsions present a great interest from the point of view of the chemical industry due to the fact that they have great potential as solubilizors and nanoreactors (Mittal, 1977; Elworthy et al., 1968; Garcı´a-Rı´o et al. 1995, 1996), permitting an important number of industrial applications (Rieger, 1977; Datyner, 1983; Kuhn, 1963). In the present work will be studied microemulsions formed by ternary mixtures of sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate + 2,2,4trimethylpentane + water. In normal conditions and at room temperature, a microemulsion has a very low electrical conductivity (0.01 to 0.1 µS‚cm-1), which is already a significant increase if compared to the electrical conductivity of pure 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (electrical conductivity of alkanes ∼10-8 to 10-3 µS‚cm-1) and is due to the fact that these ternary systems carry charges. Increasing the temperature, the electrical conductivity of these systems increases gradually at a particular temperature from which there is a marked increase in the variation of the electrical conductivity with temperature (see Figure 1). This phenomenon is known as electrical percolation, and the temperature at which this occurs is known as the threshold of percolation or the temperature of percolation. The values of the threshold of percolation can be modified by small quantities of additives (Mathew et al., 1988). †

In the literature the effect of long chain substrates added to a microemulsion as cosurfactants has been reportend (Hou et al., 1988; Giammna et al., 1992). The effects of long chain alcohols upon the percolation phenomenon and upon the structure of microemulsions are quite interesting. Hou et al. (1988) concluded that the radius of the microdroplet increases linearly with water content and that the cosurfactants increased or decreased interactions between droplets according to their structure. They made the distinction between short chain and long chain alcohols: the former increase interactions, while the latter decrease them. A decrease in interactions was also noticed for Arlacel (a long chain nonionic surfactant) (Nazario et al., 1996). When decanol is added to the system, the resulting microemulsion has a higher percolation temperature (Nazario et al., 1996), and at higher concentration of alcohol, larger effects on percolation temperature were observed.

percolation temperatures, long chain alcohols make the interface more rigid and hence aggregation occurs, and consequently percolation is more difficult. On the other hand, the presence of amines in these ternary systems generates a great interest owing to the important number of chemical processes in which they are involved. In particular, commercial processes for the removal of CO2 or H2S from industrial gaseous streams involve the use of amines (Hagewiesche et al., 1995), and the reactions between CO2 and aqueous solutions of alkanolamines are frequently used in the absorption processes (Oyervaar et al., 1990). The aim of this work is to measure the electrical conductivity (κ) of these ternary systems with different amines at different temperatures. These measurements allow us to determine the temperature of percolation. Experimental Section The aqueous solutions of amines were prepared with distilled-deionized water (κ ) 0.10-0.50 µS/cm). All the materials were supplied by Merck and Sigma, having the maximum purity commercially available (>99%). The amines were previously distilled under argon.

All the solutions were prepared by mass with deviations of less than (0.2% from the desired concentrations. In all of the cases, the amine concentrations have been referred to the total volume of the microemulsion, due to the solubility of the amines. They will not be restricted to the water microdroplet and can be present in the three pseudophases of the system (water, surfactant film, and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane). The solutions (microemulsion + additive) were prepared by direct mixing under vigorous stirring. The electrical conductivity (κ) was measured with a radiometer CDM 3 conductivity meter with an electrical conductivity cell with a constant of 1 cm-1. The conductivity meter was calibrated using a 0.01 mol‚dm-3 KCl solution. The inaccuracy of these measurements was (0.5%. During the measurements of electrical conductivity, the temperature was regulated using a thermostat-cryostat with a precision of (0.1 °C. The container with the sample was immersed in the water bath, and the temperature was measured together with the conductivity inside the sample container. In general, each electrical conductivity value reported was an average of 5 to 10 samples, where the maximum deviations from the average value were always

i-pentylamine and di-n-propylamine > di-i-butylamine). On the other hand, the presence of different substituents on the nitrogen atom decreases the effect on the temperature of percolation as compared with the effect observed for n-alkylamines (viz. n-octylamine > methyl-n-octylamine > dimethyl-n-octylamine and n-dodecylamine > dimethyl-ndodecylamine). Most of the amines increase the temperature of percolation, whereas morpholine and sec-butylamine decrease the temperature of percolation. This behavior would be justified by their capacity of association to the surfactant film (Garcı´a-Rı´o et al., 1993). Morpholine association to the surfactant film favors the formation of structures with positive curvature, facilitating the mass exchange between droplets. An analogous explanation can be assumed for secbutylamine. The apparently contradictory behavior of others amines (they increase tp) corresponds with the partial dissociation of amine into ammonium and hydroxide ions (Garcı´a-Rı´o et al., 1994). It is well-known that the presence of electrolytes in the microemulsions increases the temperature of percolation (A Ä lvarez et al., 1998b, 1999a, and 1999b).
