General description

Benzyldimethylhexadecylammonium chloride is a cationic surfactant.

Application

Benzyldimethylhexadecylammonium chloride has been used in a study to assess the removal of cationic surfactants from aqueous solutions using activated carbon cloth (ACC). It has also been used in a study to investigate the prototropic behavior of the dye, 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (7H4MC).

The prototropic behavior of the dye, 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin (7H4MC), has been studied in cationic benzyldimethylhexadecylammonium chloride (BDHC) and nonionic poly(oxyethylene)(tetramethylbutyl)phenyl ether (TritonX-100, TX-100) reverse micelles using ground-state absorption and steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements. The results have been compared with the
