Measuring Unsulfonated Matter in Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acids

From Wilks Enterprise, Inc.
 

 
Linear alkyl benzene sulfonic acids are one of the most common precursors for the surfactant industry. They are typically neutralized and added to liquid dish formulations or converted to a powder for laundry detergents. The acids are generally made by reacting sulfur trioxide (SO3) with linear alkyl benzene (LAB).
