Abstract

Surfactants have been proposed as solutions of liquid loading problems. This research is a preliminary study which is to obtain a stable surfactant by adding nanosilica. Mixing of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) as anionic surfactant and polysorbate-20 as non-ionic surfactants conducted to obtain the composition that produces the highest foaming. Then added to the best mixture composition a number of nanosilica sol to enhance the foam stability. The nanosilica sol that synthesized from water glass was added to the surfactant with varying concentration of 10ppm to 50ppm. The nanosilica sol added to the surfactant is stable with a zeta potential of 39.7mV and size around 4nm. The results of surfactant mixing showed that the composition of 90% SLS and 10% polysorbate-20 were the highest foaming. The addition of nanosilica sol increases foam stability and the 30ppm concentration greatly enhance the foam stability.
