Abstract

Amino acid; DL-Valine, has been crystalized in the presence of different ionic surfactants (Cationic CTAB, Anionic SDS) in the aqueous solution. A Crystal size and shape has been characterized by UV spectrophotometer and FT-IR and observed through optical microscope at room temperature. Crystal size alterations of DL-Valine were found due to nature of surfactant. Surfactant charge plays an important role to reduce the agglomeration of crystals by electrostatic reaction. The study shows that with the help of CTAB micellar solution; DL-Valine has lower crystal size and uniform shape.
