When the surfactant synergism is used in Micelle- enhancedultrafiltration, the rejection ratio of goal solute is affected by micelle size and it*s mixed molecular interaction very much. In this work using batch ultrafiltration method to proceed experiment. The experiment selects cationic surfactant (CPC),anionic surfactant (SDS) , and nonionic surfactant (Triton X-100). The part in micelle size measurement uses ultrafiltration membranes with 3000, 5000, 10000, 30000, and 100000 MWCO to proceed. After concentration of solution and retentate solution through related theory model measure, getting the distribution of micelle size and average aggregation number . The result shows that batch ultrafiltration method appears clear concentration polarization effects making CPC in high concentration and 30000 MWCO membrane size have a presieving effect. Besides, when the CPC concentration(1mM~100mM) increases, CPC micelle aggregation number will grow and finally reach a constant number. However, SDS micelle aggregation number keeps in 60 and can not change with SDS concentration(10mM~100 mM). Triton X-100 micelle aggregation number can also grow with Triton X-100 concentration(1mM~10mM). The result which SDS/ Triton X-100 and CPC/ Triton X-100 mixed surfactant systems shows their behavior are dominated by Triton X-100. However, in the application of synergism of mixed surfactants in micellar- enhanced ultrafiltration, we can know rejection ratio of p- xylene will be better when mixed ratio of Triton X-100 is higher. In p-xylene rejective experiment results show that SDS/ CPC mixed surfactant systems have synergistic effect.
