Reaction Principle of Alcohol Ether Sulfonates by Sulfonated Alkylation Method – A Review
2017
Abstract As a new type of high effective surfactant, aliphatic alcohol
ether
sulfonatehas widely application prospects in the process of tertiary oil recovery. So, the theoretical analysis of synthesis of aliphatic alcohol
ether
sulfonatehas played a very important role in the process of its development. After the first patent about the preparation of a
fatty alcohol
ether
sulfonatesurfactant was reported in 1938, there were several methods to synthesize alcohol
ether
sulfonatesurfactants with different structure.
Sulfonatedalkylation, one of the synthesis methods, is introduced in this paper. The synthesis principle of alcohol
ethersodium
sulfonatewas analyzed by three step reactions – synthesis of PTGE, ring opening reaction and
sulfonationreaction. Synthesis principle of PTGE includes
acid catalysis, phase-transfer
catalysis,
side reactionof the synthesis of glycerol
etherand reaction of PTGE outcome. Ring opening reaction includes two reactions of
acid catalysisand alkali
catalysis.
