Effect of sodium salicylate, sodium oxalate, and sodium chloride on the micellization and adsorption of sodium deoxycholate in aqueous solutions.

The salicylate ion increases the rate of bile flow (choleretic effect) and bile salts are known to affect the colonic absorption of oxalate. Owing to this physiological relevance of salicylate and oxalate ions, critical micelle concentration (cmc) values of sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) were determined in aqueous sodium oxalate, sodium salicylate, and sodium chloride solutions by using surface tension, fluorescence, and EMF methods. The results indicate, besides a counterion effect, the influence of coanions on the cmc.

Aggregation and adsorption behavior of cetylpyridinium chloride in aqueous sodium salicylate and sodium benzoate solutions.

The critical micelle concentration (cmc) values of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) were determined in the presence of salicylate and benzoate ions in the less explored concentration region where viscosity is Newtonian. The cmc of CPC decreased from 9 x 10(-4) to 7 x 10(-7) and 3 x 10(-6) mol kg(-1) by adding about 0.3 mol kg(-1) of salicylate and benzoate, respectively.
