A quantitative theory is developed to describe the dynamic surface tension and the adsorption kinetics at a liquid-liquid interface, taking into account the molecular diffusion in both bulk phases and the adsorption isotherm for surfactant on the interface. Asymptotic analytical solutions are obtain

β¦ Synopsis
A physical model IS presented to explam the dramatlc mterfaclal tenslon mmuna that may sometimes occur dunng the equlhbratlon of a surface-active solute between two liquid phases The effects of bulk phase mass transfer resistances, mterfaclal sorption kinetics, and finite phase volumes are mcluded Adsorption and desorptlon barriers are treated both by linear and Langmmr kmetlcs Dynamic mterfaclal tension mmuna are predicted whenever the solute mass transfer resistance IS higher and/or a large desorptlon barrier exists m the phase towards which transfer IS occurnng Experimental dynamic tension mmlma for acldlc orgamc phases contacting an alkaline aqueous phase can be ratlonahzed by the existence of desorptlon barriers The relevance of such tension mmlma to mterfaclal turbulence, spontaneous emulslficatlon, and enhanced 011 recovery 1s discussed

Spinning drop tensiometry has been used in the past to determine low interfacial tension between aqueous surfactant solutions and organic phases that are lighter than water. In this work, we extend the use of the technique to measurement of low interfacial tension between aqueous surfactant solution
