Technique visualizes polluting surfactants.

Daniel S. Burgess

To promote a better understanding of the environmental effects of pollutants, researchers at Clemson University in South Carolina have developed an infrared imaging method that visualizes solid-phase surfactant monolayers on water. They envision its use in the airborne detection and monitoring of effluents such as are produced in agriculture. A series of 25 × 25-cm infrared images of the 25-μm-thick layer beneath the surface of a tank of water exposed to an airflow of 2 m/s reveals the presence and breakup of a solid-phase monolayer of stearic acid. The imaging technique may be...Read full article
