Ionic Surfactants and Aqueous Solutions: Biomolecules, Metals and Nanoparticles

This book describes the development of patented methods to extract biomolecules and heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions by using surfactants and micelles. Physicochemical basics as well as computational modelling studies analyse and explain the observed phenomena. Additionally, nanoparticle formation using surfactants and the sulfonation in emulsions are discussed.
