In this paper, the adsorptive behaviour of two surfactants (Triton X100 and SDS) and their mixtures (1:2; 1:1; 2:1 SDS:TX100 by wt) with two local adsorbents, sandstone and shale was examined. Adsorption of surfactants was assessed using a surface tension technique for aqueous phase surfactant conce...
