SODIUM DODECYLBENZENE

The surfactant most commonly used is the anionic detergent sodium lauryl sulfate. Other surfactants that have been used include sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate [25155-30-0] sodium A/-lauroyl sarcosinate or Gardol [137-16-6] and sodium cocomonoglyceride sulfonate [3694-90-4]. Cationic and nonionic surfactants are not used for several reasons, including incompatibiUty with the abrasive system and lack of high foaming capabiUty. 

Microbes could not break down branch-chain detergents, so they left foam in river water. They were replaced by straight-chain alkyl benzene sulfonates, such as sodium dodecylbenzene-sulfonate and sodium xylenesulfonate.

From an analytical point of view, the use of anionic surfactants as enhancers of CL reactions is most limited. One of the most recent examples is the use of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) as a CL enhancer of the system Ru(hpy) - SO - KBr03 (bpy = 2,2 -bipyridyl) [60], The authors of this work propose the following mechanism for the chemiluminescent system ... 

The general procedure for dispersion involves use of sonication, which causes an unzipping mechanism of dispersion as proposed by Smalley and co-workers [51]. Typical surfactants used for this purpose are sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) or sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS). The latter shows a stronger interaction as a result of the presence of the aromatic ring. It also appears that longer and more branched hydrocarbon chains interact more efficiently [52],...

Lindstrand et al. (2000) investigated the effect of different organic fou-lants, such as octanoic acid, sodium octonate, and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, on anionic and cationic membranes by monitoring the increase in the membrane resistance (Rm) with time. 

Fig. 7.1 shows the trace obtained from the analysis of undegraded linear alkylbenzene sulphonate (LAS) mixture (sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate). Peak identifications were made by co-injection with pure undegraded linear alkylbenzene sulphonate compounds and confirmed by analysis of the undegraded linear alkylbenzene sulphonate mixture by desulphonation followed by gas chromatography of the resultant alkylbenzenes on a 15m OV-1 support coated open-tubular column.

An example of the separation of the anilides of the eight lowest straight-chain carboxylic acids on sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate is shown in Fig. 5.14. The problem of the procedure described above consists in that formanilide cannot be prepared as CO, SO2 and HC1 are produced by the action of thionyl chloride on formic acid. Formanilide must, therefore, be prepared in an aqueous medium, the other acids must be extracted into a non-aqueous medium. The yield of the extraction varies considerably depending on the type of the acid, and the presence of water in the reaction medium may affect the reaction yield significantly, which makes quantitative analysis difficult. Condensates with toluidine, which were used for the determination of formic acid by GC, are prepared by an analogous procedure. As other toluidine isomers may serve as the reagents, formyl derivatives have been suggested for the separation of these substances [181].

There are many different schemes in the manufacture of ABS. Most of the schemes are variations of the one shown in Fig. 2-3 for the production of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate. A brief description of the process is as follows ...
