Marcel Dekker, Inc. 270 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10016 Current printing (last digit): 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Preface Of the cationic surfactants utilized in today's marketplace, quaternary am monium compounds ( quats) represent by far the largest proportion. Amer ican Oil Chemists' Society newswriter Anna Gillis has described quats as "the ultimate workhorse of the surfactant industry. They are, for example, used to decolorize sugar, kill bacteria in water beds, and loosen stubborn oil in oil wells. They are found in a huge range of commercial preparations from underarm deodorants to fiber glass resins. Mostly, however, they are used to keep the family laundry soft." Although the actual tonnage utilized each year falls well below that of anionic and nonionic surfactants, the market is well established and growing steadily. Some 200 million pounds (90,000 metric tons) of quats are produced each year in the United States alone. One of the earliest treatises devoted solely to this class of compounds was Volume 4 of Marcel Dekker's outstandingly successful Surfactant Science Series, Cationic Surfactants, edited by Eric Jungermann, a substantial work published in 1970 containing over 600 pages. Over 20 years later, there is a much wider range of speciality uses to which they may be put. Advances in techniques by which they may be examined have been considerable, and, of course, the literature concerning their various properties has mush roomed. Any attempt to update Volume 4 in a single volume would have produced a book of totally unwieldy dimensions. Consequently, the topics have been subdivided into Cationic Surfactants: Organic Chemistry (Vol. 34), Cationic Surfactants: Physical Chemistry (Vol. 37), and Cationic Sur factants: Analytical and Biological Evaluation (this volume). iii iv Preface The analytical segment of this book is aimed at practicing chemists and the new breed of environmental scientists who possess a general back ground in chemistry, including the basic concepts of classical and modern chemical analysis. Similarly, in addressing both short- and long-term in teractions of cationic surfactants with biological systems, the biological section relies on the basic working knowledge of scientists and engineers, and focuses on their need to understand the systems with which they work, be they skin, health, or wastewater. Detailed familiarity with cationic sur factants is not assumed, an introductory chapter being included for that purpose. It is not intended that this book should function as a laboratory manual, although appropriate experimental procedures are included. It is, rather, a critical guide to the literature and methodology currently available, a tour through the array of weapons that the practicing scientist can bring to bear on any particular problem. Seldom will there be any one "correct" approach to that problem. In the case of analytical work, so much depends on the nature of the sample and on the detail required by the end user of the result. The authors comprise an international collection of experienced aca demics and practitioners. They have not been required to operate within any preconceived framework or to confine their treatment to a specified set of surfactants: rather, they have been encouraged to present their material in the manner that best suits their own areas of expertise. Our sincere thanks go to the authors, who have provided their contri butions so readily, and to their employers for supporting their efforts; to the Series Editor, Dr. Martin Schick, who has worked and liaised tirelessly on our behalf; to Brenda Cross for her patience and many late nights chained to an uncooperative word processor; to the Marcel Dekker or ganization for their smooth guidance along the production chain; and fi nally, to the many hundreds of researchers, past and current, whose pub lished works have made this volume possible.
