Sodium Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate
Description
Sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate is a series of organic compounds. It is a colourless salt with useful properties as a surfactant. It is usually produced as a mixture of related sulfonates. It is a major component of laundry detergent.
Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is a white to light yellow flakes, granules or powder. Sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate is soluble in water. The primary hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate is used as a synthetic detergent.
Uses
Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate has been used to stabilize dispersions of graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) during the preparation of the liquid phase of GNFs. It can also suspend single-walled carbon nanotubes as individuals in aqueous media and also give well-resolved spectral features.
These frothers are mixtures of alcohols containing 6-8 carbon atoms. They were at one time marketed by DuPont and they are tailored frothers for specific ore types. The bestknown frother from this group is methyl isobutyl carbinol (MIBC) and 2-ethyl hexanol.
Aliphatic alcohol frothers are used as mixtures of different carbon lengths and as a mixture of hydrocarbon oils.
Function
Sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) is highly biodegradable, low toxic, non-harmful to skin and fabric, and has a high detergent power and foaming capacity. It can protect both the environment and our health, meanwhile remove soil easily. SDBS has a compound formulation combining a unique functional surfactant and a softening agent, the component substitutes the traditionally used sodium alkybenzene sulfonate, thus eliminating the impact of benzene in sodium alkybenzene sulfonate.
