Abstract

Sulfonation with SO3 of an oleic methyl ester has led to a mixture of sulfonates with potential properties as a surfactant, an emulsifier or even a wetting agent that can be used in detergent formulations. For the first time, the products from the sulfonation reaction with SO3 are identified.

Kurzfassung

Die Sulfonierung mit SO3 von Ölsäuremethylester führt zu einer Mischung aus Sulfonaten mit potentiellen Eigenschaften eines Tensids, Emulgators oder sogar Netzmittels, die in Reinigungsmittelrezepturen eingesetzt werden können. Erstmals werden die Produkte der Sulfonierungsreaktion mit SO3 bestimmt.

Key words:: Anionic surfactant; analysis; oleic methyl ester sulfonate
Stichwörter:: Anionische Tenside; Analyse; Ölsäuremethylester-Sulfonat

Dr. Leon Cohen received his Ph.D. in chemistry at Sevilla University. In 1994, he earned the EURCHEM designation. He worked for PETRESA from 1970 to 1996. Since 1989 he is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Cadiz, where he is leading since 1993 the research group entitled “Surface Activity and Detergency”. He is the author of more than 25 papers, more than 40 contibrutions to Congresses, and four patents related to detergency.

Dr. Fernando Soto received his M.S. in chemistry at the Sevilla University and his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering in 2001 at Cadiz University. He has been a Professor of Chemical Engineering at the University of Cadiz, since 1979. He is a member of the research group entitled “Surface Activity and Detergency” since 1994.

Dr. Claudio R. Pratesi obtained a degree in biology in 1984 at the University of Florence (Italy). He then studied chemistry at the Scuola Normale superiore3 (Pisa) and completed his Ph.D. degree in 1990 with a study of the conformational structure of dehydropeptides. In 1990 he joined ENIRICERCHE, the corporate research company of the ENI group (Ente Nazionale Idrocarburi). He has worked for Sasol Italy (formerly, Condea Augusta) since 1996. He is responsible for the mass spectrometry facilities of the Sasol Italy Padermo Dugnano research center.
