It is intrinsically important to change the hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) of surfactant mixture continuously by various devices in order to attain a large solubilization or ultimately complete mixing of hydrocarbon and H2O with less surfactant. The maximum solubilization of hydrocarbon (or H2O) was observed close to the surfactant phase separation at which the hydrophile-lipophile property of a surfactant mixture balances for a given system. The relative solubilities of H2O and oil in the surfactant phase change with the HLB of a surfactant mixture When the hydrophile-lipophile property of a surfactant is balanced, 3 phases, i.e., H2O, surfactant, and oil, coexist at low surfactant concentration When it is hydrophilic the solubility of water in the surfactant phase is infinite and an aqueous solubilized micellar solution + oil system is obtained. When it is lipophilic the solubility of oil in the surfactant phase is infinite and a reversed micellar solution of hydrocarbon + water system is obtained. These conceptual interpretations on the solubilization of oil and water in surfactant aggregates were embodied on the phase diagrams presented. The devices of cosurfactants, surfactants, and their combinations yielded very large solubilization. The hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) of a surfactant is certainly a functions of various variables such as surfactant composition, temperature, valence of the counterions, salt concentration, etc. It is argued that the HLB of a surfactant in the system and the HLB number of the surfactant should not be confused.
