PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SECONDARY ALCOHOL ALKOXY SULFATES

摘要

A process for making secondary alcohol alkoxy sulfates which comprises: (a) reacting carbon monoxide and hydrogen under Fischer-Tropsch conditions in the presence of a Fischer-Tropsch catalyst to produce a reaction mixture comprising paraffins, (b) contacting the paraffins with oxygen in the presence of an oxidation catalyst to produce secondary alcohols, (c) contacting the secondary alcohols with an alkylene oxide in the presence of a double metal cyanide catalyst to produce secondary alcohol alkoxylates, and (d) sulfating the secondary alcohol alkoxylates.
