Structure
Schematic formula:
Properties
Appearance (1), yellowish brown viscous liquid; (2), solid.
Solubility soluble in water. The solubility increases with the increase of EO number.
Stability stable in weak acid and hard water; unstable in strong acid, hydrolyzed; unstable in alkali, can release ammonia. Easily oxidized.
Risk Liquid form: irritation, irritation to skin, eye.
GHS label: 
Ecology may be hazardous to environment. Water body should be given special attention.
Biodegradability biodegradable.
Characteristics excellent emulsifying, wetting, dispersing, solubilizing abilities. Resistant to hard water. Performance is affected by EO number, such as: with the increase of EO number, dispersing and solubilizing capabilities increase. Low foaming. Reaction-type surface active agent.
Note (1), 1,4-dioxane generated during preparation: probable carcinogen. However, can be acceptable when concentration of 1,4-dioxane is less than 30ppm or less.
Synthesis
Currently, sulfated reaction through continuous reactor (such as: falling film reactor) is the most widely used method for preparing sulfates.
Polyoxyethylene propenyl nonylphenyl ether and sulfur trioxide react through reactor, then ammonia water neutralizes, finally obtain product.
US patent 8,921,588 (Process for preparing sulfates and/or sulfonates in a micro-reaction system) presents a synthetic process. Conditions: mole ratio of sulfur trioxide and polyethers or other raw materials: 1:1; temperature: 30-60°C; reactor: falling film reactor.
