Nevertheless, while the total surfactant remains constant in the experiment described in Figure , the dynamics of the surfactant in the current experiment results from the combination of the transport across the phases, the transformation from an unhydrated to hydrated states and its subsequent re-entry into the aqueous phase. These kinetic results are plotted over a long period of time in Figure , where with the anionic and non-ionic surfactants and their mixtures were dissolved in dodecane, toluene, xylene and in the solutions of decane and dodecane as well as toluene and xylene. In these plots, we also include the evolution of the concentration of essential components in the aqueous phase. As far as the aromatics are concerned, they are UV active; while the alkanes are not. In order to detect the presence of alkane in the aqueous phase, we added a small amont (10 ppm) Triphenylmethane (TPM) in it as spectral reporter. As Triphenylmethane dissolves in the organic phase but is totally insoluble in the aqueous phase, its presence in the aqueous phase via UV spectroscopy signifies the presence of the alkane if it presents itself as a droplet. From a calibration curve of the concentration of this marker in alkane vs UV intensity, the amount of alkane in the aqueous phase could be estimated from the sperctral intensity obtained from a given experiment.
