520	3		_aoriginally intended as alternative thermal fluids, nanofluids or nanosolid-liquid composites now have other emerging industrial applications. However, nanofluids' long-term colloidal stability must be further develop. In this original research, a halogen-free, low cost alkyl sulfate-based surface-active ionic liquid, 1-hexyl-3methylimidazolium lauryl sulfate ([HMIM]LS) was proposed as a dispersant for Al₂O₃-water nanofluids to enhance its colloidal stability. Colloidal stability of Al₂O₃, nanoparticles dispersed in [HMIM]LS aqueous solution was monitored for one week using UV-vis spectroscopy, zeta potential measurement and particles size distribution. From UV-vis spectroscopy, absorbance of the nanofluid with [HMIM]LS was consistently higher than the controls even until day 7 by a factor of 38. The zeta potential of the nanofluid with [HMIM]LS became more negative charged from -19.2 mV to -36.7 mV on day 0 and day 7. In spite of these modest values attributed to the absorbed IL layer on the nanoparticle surface, these results supported the double layer micellar stabilization mechanism. Particle size distribution also corroborated with the absorbance and zeta potential results by showing that larger-sized particles settle slower in the nanofluid with [HMIM]LS compared to the controls. These results showed that [HMIM]LS was an effective dispersant for Al₂O₃-water nanofluids.
