Popis: | As our fossil raw materials are irrevocably decreasing and as the pressure on our environment is building up, the progressive changeover of chemical industry to renewable feedstocks for their raw materials emerges as an inevitable necessity i.e. it will have to proceed increasingly to the raw materials basis that prevailed before natural gas and oil out paced all other sources. Therefore, the use of renewable resources is an important component of green chemistry. Oils and fats are the most important renewable raw materials for the chemical industry. In the present study, cracking of vegetable oil was carried out to obtain olefins. Olefins are the largest volume chemical intermediates produced in the chemical industry, which is one of major raw material for surfactants manufacturing. The olefins obtained from cracking are utilized to prepare surfactant by alkylation with cumene and subsequently sulfonation and neutralization to obtained alkyl cumene sulfonates (ACS). The evaluation of surface active properties of ACS and comparison of the property with conventional surfactants was carried out and ACS exhibit excellent surface active properties. |
