The article presents the results of the study of the surface activity substances, physical-colloidal parameters, and elemental composition calculated using the tensiometer of the complexes formed by the monobasic saturated carboxylic acid octadecanoic acid with monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine with different concentrations. As a result of surface tension measurements, parameters such as critical micelle formation density, surface pressure, minimum surface area per molecule, and micelle formation and adsorption Gibbs free energy were calculated based on electrical conductivity values. These measurements provided important information about the properties of the synthesized materials. Finally, experiments were conducted on three different water samples with different mineral content to investigate the effectiveness of the synthesized surfactants in removing oil spills from the water basin, oil collection and oil dispersing properties.
