In drop profile analysis tensiometry, the ratio of drop surfaces area S to volume V is large, i.e., S/V >> 1. In such a case, the concentration of a surfactant within the drop bulk decreases due to adsorption at the drop surface. In contrast, in bubble profile analysis tensiometry, we have S/V << 1 so that depletion due to adsorption is negligible. A protocol is presented to determine the correct adsorption parameters of surfactants from surface tension data measured by bubble and drop profile analysis tensiometry. The procedure is applied to experimental data measured for selected surfactants of different adsorption activities: C10OH, CTAB, Tween 20, and the equimolar mixture SDS + DoTAB. The results show that for surfactants with higher surface activity, the differences between the surface tensions measured with the drops and bubbles profile analysis tensiometry, respectively, are larger, while for less surface-active surfactants, such as SDS, the results obtained from drop and bubble profile experiments are very close. The correction procedure is based on the same set of adsorption parameters used to fit both the experimental data obtained from drop-based measurements (which involve the depletion effects) and those data measured in a way that depletion effects are negligible.
