IPA COPYRIGHT: ASHP The pseudoternary phase diagrams of microemulsions of water/sodium lauryl sulfate (sodium dodecyl sulfate):hexan-1-ol (hexyl alcohol) (35:65)/hydrocarbon/esters were prepared using ethyl n-butyrate (ethyl butanoate), ethyl benzoate, methyl oleate, and methyl linolenate as the esters and n-decane (decane) and p-xylene (1,4-dimethylbenzene) as the hydrocarbons. The solubility area of the water/oil microemulsion region was found to be largest in ethyl-n-butyrate followed by ethyl benzoate, methyl oleate, and methyl linolenate for all of the systems. No appreciable difference in the water/oil microemulsion region was observed when n-decane was substituted with p-xylene.
