In addition to Nafion-based catalyst layers, additional types have been developed, including CLs with different ion exchange capacities (lECs) [57,58] or with other hydrocarbon-type ionomers such as sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) [58-60], sulfonated polysulfone [61,62], sulfonated polyether ionomers [63], and borosiloxane electrolytes [64], as well as sulfonated polyimide [65]. These nonfluorinated polymer materials have been targeted to reduce cost and/or increase operating temperature. Unfortunately, such CLs still encounter problems with low Pt utilization, flooding, and inferior performance compared wifh convenfional Nafion-based CLs. 

The cmc of a fluorinated surfactant also depends on the nature of the hydrophile but to a lesser effect than on the hydrophobe structure (Table 6.9). The carboxy-lates have higher cmc values than sulfonates (Table 6.11). This is in accord with the order of decreasing cmc values—carboxylates > sulfonates > sulfates—observed by Klevens [145] for hydrocarbon-type surfactants. 

The fluorescence intensity of ammonium l-anilinonaphthaline-8-sulfonate (ANS) in a solution of a hydrocarbon-type surfactant is constant below the cmc of the surfactant but increases linearly with increasing surfactant concentration above the cmc. The concentration dependence of fluorescence intensity indicates that the ANS probe is solubilized in the micelles of the hydrocarbon-type surfactant. In contrast, fluorinated surfactants do not solubilize ANS [251]. The ANS probe is therefore useful for investigating fluorinated surfactant and hydrocarbon-type surfactant mixtures (see Section 7.3). Asakawa et al. [121] studied the micellar environment of mixed fluorinated surfactants and hydrocarbon-type surfactants by fluorescence intensities of ANS, auramine, and pyrene. The ANS fluorescence intensity is shown in Fig. 28 of Chapter 7 as a function of total surfactant concentration. The ANS fluorescence intensity increased with the increase in hydrocarbon-type surfactant (LiDS) concentration Because the ANS probe was not incorporated in LiFOS micelles, the fluorescence intensity increased very little with increasing fluorinated surfactant (LiFOS = lithium perfluorooctane sulfonate) concentration. 

The basic flow sheet for the flotation-concentration of nonsulfide minerals is essentially the same as that for treating sulfides but the family of reagents used is different. The reagents utilized for nonsulfide mineral concentrations by flotation are usually fatty acids or their salts (RCOOH, RCOOM), sulfonates (RSO M), sulfates (RSO M), where M is usually Na or K, and R represents a linear, branched, or cycHc hydrocarbon chain and amines [R2N(R)3]A where R and R are hydrocarbon chains and A is an anion such as Cl or Br . Collectors for most nonsulfides can be selected on the basis of their isoelectric points. Thus at pH > pH p cationic surfactants are suitable collectors whereas at lower pH values anion-type collectors are selected as illustrated in Figure 10 (28). Figure 13 shows an iron ore flotation flow sheet as a representative of high volume oxide flotation practice. 

Another type of soHd supetacid is based on perfluorinated resin sulfonic acid such as the acid form of Du Font s Nafion resin, a copolymer of a perfluorinated epoxide and vinylsulfonic acid or soHd, high molecular weight petfluotoalkanesulfonic acids such as petfluotodecanesulfonic acid, CF2(CF2)qS02H. Such sohd catalysts have been found efficient in many alkylations of aromatic hydrocarbons (225) and other Friedel-Crafts reactions (226). 

To overcome these difficulties, drilling fluids are treated with a variety of mud lubricants available from various suppHers. They are mostly general-purpose, low toxicity, nonfluorescent types that are blends of several anionic or nonionic surfactants and products such as glycols and glycerols, fatty acid esters, synthetic hydrocarbons, and vegetable oil derivatives. Extreme pressure lubricants containing sulfurized or sulfonated derivatives of natural fatty acid products or petroleum-base hydrocarbons can be quite toxic to marine life and are rarely used for environmental reasons. Diesel and mineral oils were once used as lubricants at levels of 3 to 10 vol % but this practice has been curtailed significantly for environmental reasons. 

Reactions other than those of the nucleophilic reactivity of alkyl sulfates iavolve reactions with hydrocarbons, thermal degradation, sulfonation, halogenation of the alkyl groups, and reduction of the sulfate groups. Aromatic hydrocarbons, eg, benzene and naphthalene, react with alkyl sulfates when cataly2ed by aluminum chloride to give Fhedel-Crafts-type alkylation product mixtures (59). Isobutane is readily alkylated by a dipropyl sulfate mixture from the reaction of propylene ia propane with sulfuric acid (60). 

Polysulfone It is a high performance amorphous plastic that is tough, highly heat resistant, strong and stiff. Products are transparent and slightly clouded amber in color. Material exhibits notch sensitivity and is attacked by ketones, esters, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Other similar types in this group include polyethersulfone, polyphenyl-sulfone, and polyarylsulfone. Use includes medical equipment, solar-heating applications and other performance applications where flame retardance, autoclavability and transparency are needed. 

Except for these studies of their protonation behavior, almost the only other aspect of the chemistry of sulfonic acids that has been investigated to any extent from a mechanistic point of view is the desulfonation of aromatic sulfonic acids or sulfonates. Since this subject has been well reviewed by Cerfontain (1968), and since the reaction is really more of interest as a type of electrophilic aromatic substitution than as sulfur chemistry, we shall not deal with it here. One should note that the mechanism of formation of aromatic sulfonic acids by sulfonation of aromatic hydrocarbons has also been intensively investigated, particularly by Cerfontain and his associates, and several... 

Petroleum sulfonic acids may be divided roughly into those soluble in hydrocarbons and those solnble in water. Because of their color, hydrocarbon-soluble acids are referred to as mahogany acids, and the water-soluble acids are referred to as green acids. The composition of each type varies with the nature of the oil sulfonated and the concentration of acids produced. In general, those formed during light acid treatment are water soluble oil-soluble acids result from more drastic sulfonation. 

Types of compounds are arranged according to the following system hydrocarbons and basic heterocycles hydroxy compounds and their ethers mercapto compounds, sulfides, disulfides, sulfoxides and sulfones, sulfenic, sulfinic and sulfonic acids and their derivatives amines, hydroxylamines, hydrazines, hydrazo and azo compounds carbonyl compounds and their functional derivatives carboxylic acids and their functional derivatives and organometallics. In each chapter, halogen, nitroso, nitro, diazo and azido compounds follow the parent compounds as their substitution derivatives. More detail is indicated in the table of contents. In polyfunctional derivatives reduction of a particular function is mentioned in the place of the highest functionality. Reduction of acrylic acid, for example, is described in the chapter on acids rather than functionalized ethylene, and reduction of ethyl acetoacetate is discussed in the chapter on esters rather than in the chapter on ketones. 

Batch Stirred Tank H2S04/Oleum Aromatic Sulfonation Processes. Low molecular weight aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and cumene, are sulfonated using molar quantities of 98—100% H2S04 in stirred glass-lined reactors. A condenser and Dean-Stark-type separator trap are installed on the reactor to provide for the azeotropic distillation and condensation of aromatic and water from the reaction, for removal of water and for recycling aromatic. Sulfone by-product is removed from the neutralized sulfonate by extraction/washing with aromatic which is recycled.
