Abstract
Anionic Surfactants, and Sulphonates in particular, will continue to keep their important rule in Detergents formulation for generations to come.
The sulphonation Reactor is the key-tool to generate Sulphonated Molecules for Detergent application, therefore the efforts in improving the specific technology are focused on the best possible design and search for optimum operation of the same.
The limits of the present technology are discussed and the peculiarity and advantages of the latest generation of Multi Tube Falling Film Reactor are valued by highlighting:
Design basis
Construction accuracy
Operating conditions and savings
Achievable products quality
Kurzfassung
Anionische Tenside und Sulfonate insbesondere, werden auch weiterhin eine wichtige Rolle bei der Formulierung zur Herstellung von Reinigungsmittel einnehmen.
Der Sulfonierungsreaktor ist das Schlüssel-Werkzeug zur Darstellung sulfonierter Moleküle für Anwendungen in Reinigungsmitteln. Folglich werden die Bemühungen zur Verbesserung dieser speziellen Technologie auf die bestmögliche Gestaltung und der Suche nach optimalem Betrieb gerichtet sein.
Die Grenzen der gegenwärtigen Technologie werden diskutiert und die Besonderheiten und Vorteile der neuesten Generation von Multitube-Rieselfilm-Sulfonierungsreaktoren hervorgehoben:
Gestaltungsgrundlage
Konstruktionsgenauigkeit
Betriebsbedingungen und Einsparungen
Erreichbare Produktqualität
