Alkyl Aryl Sulfonates

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the significance of alkyl aryl sulfonates, the most prevalent surfactants, highlighting their ability to reduce oil-water interfacial tension and their diverse applications, including de-emulsification and corrosion inhibition. It discusses the shift from petroleum sulfonates as by-products of refining to the need for alternative sources due to changes in refinery processes. The focus is on the synthesis of various alkyl aryl sulfonates, examining how structural parameters influence their surface-active and solubilization properties through extensive research.
