The kinetics of oil solubilization into micelles from nearly monodisperse alkane-in-water emulsion droplets was investigated. Emulsions containing either hexadecane or tetradecane oils were fractionated to be narrowly distributed, using a method developed by Bibette [J. Bibette, J. Colloid Interface Sci. 147 (1991) 474]. These monodisperse emulsions were mixed with SDS or Tween 20 aqueous micellar solutions of various concentrations. Time-dependent solubilization was monitored using light scattering and a decrease in average droplet size over time was observed, in contrast to what has been observed previously with polydisperse emulsions. The rate at which the droplet size decreased was found to be independent of the initial droplet size. Turbidity measurements were also used to track the solubilization kinetics, and a population balance analysis used on both types of measurements to extract effective mass transfer coefficients. The dependence of these transfer coefficients on droplet size, alkane type, surfactant type and concentration provide insights into plausible mechanisms of emulsion droplet solubilization within micellar solutions.
