Characterization of Sodium Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Calcium chloride dihydrate (CaCl2·2H2O, ACS reagent grade; VWR, Radnor, PA, USA), magnesium chloride hexahydrate (MgCl2∙6H2O, ACS reagent grade; Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), sodium ‘dodecylbenzensulfonate’ (NaDBS, technical grade; Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA), ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid disodium salt dihydrate (Na2EDTA∙2H2O, analytical grade; Reanal, Budapest, Hungary), and methanol (HPLC gradient grade; VWR, Radnor, PA, USA) were used as received. The metal-ion content of the hydrated salts was checked by complexometric titration using Na2EDTA as titrant.
As for NaDBS, it is known to be composed of sulfonates with different chain lengths [34 (link)]. Thus, its exact composition was determined via high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS; for technical details, see below). Based on the relative peak counts, the highest fraction is undecylbenzene sulfonate (43%) followed by dodecylbenzene sulfonate (27%) with the average molar mass being 336.81 g mol–1 for the sodium salt; see the mass spectrum in Figure 1. Therefore, this compound will be referred to as sodium linear alkylbenzene sulfonate, NaLAS, throughout this work.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
