Seven binary and three multi-component mixtures of non-ionic surfactants and a mixture of ethylene glycol and PEG 400 were investigated using tensammetry with "normal" recording and one binary mixture by using "reverse" recording. Within the initial section of the I-shaped calibration graph, the inv

✦ Synopsis
An indirect method for the determination of non-ionic surfactants is based on the lowering of the tensammetric peak height of ethyl acetate by competitively adsorbed surfactants. The behaviour of the tensammetric peak of ethyl acetate was examined (peak height vs. concentration of ethyl acetate and vs. initial potential). The dependence of the analytical signal on surfactant concentration for numerous oxyethylated alcohols, oxyethylated alkylphenols and oxyethylated amines having different numbers of oxyethylene subunits was examined, and also for several oayethylene-oxypropylene block copolymers and poldethylene glycols), polypropylene glycol, oleyl alcohol and ethylene glycol. In all the instances this dependence exhibits a plateau or a pseudo-plateau. The position of the plateau increases roughly in proportion to the increase in the number of oxyethylene subunits in the molecule. Calibration graphs were constructed within the concentration range 100-1000 pg 1-i for ten oxyethylated alcohols and five oxyethylated alkylphenols. Triton X-100 was selected as the surfactant for calibration. The method enables all non-ionic surfactants separated from surface water by gas stripping, i.e., those having l-30 oxyethylene subunits, to be determined.
