In this paper, batch experiments of sediment/aqueous systems were conducted to evaluate the adsorption of SDS, TX100 and their mixtures (1:2; 1:1 and 2:1 SDS:TX100 mass ratio) onto local shale and sandstone. Adsorption of surfactants was assessed using a surface tension technique for surfactant conc...
