PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING SULPHATES OF LONGER CHAIN BRANCHED ALKANOLS AND ALKOXYLATED ALKANOLS

摘要

Sulfation methods for producing longer chain length alkyl sulfate and/or alkyl alkoxylated sulfate surfactant compositions. This method utilizes the presence of a significant amount of mid-chain branched alcohol and/or polyoxyalkylene alcohol in the sulfation reaction to significantly reduce the reaction temperature, thereby improving product quality and saving energy.
