    Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate

    Uploaded by

    Henry Darius Namoc
    Linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) is the primary cleaning agent in many detergents and cleaners. It is produced through the sulfonation of linear alkylbenzene (LAB) with sulfonating agents. LAS was introduced in 1964 as a readily biodegradable replacement for highly branched alkylbenzene sulfonates. The manufacturing process for LAS now avoids the use of chloroparaffins and instead uses olefins or n-paraffins in the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene to produce LAB with decreased undesirable byproducts. LAS production is still increasing, especially in developing regions, to meet growing demand for cleaners.

    LINEAR ALKYLBENZENE SULFONATE is the
    PRODUCTION OF primary cleaning agent used in many laundry
    detergents and cleaners. They are one of the
    LINEAR oldest and most widely used synthetic detergents
    and may be found in numerous personal-care
    ALKYLBENZENE products (soaps, shampoos, toothpaste etc.) and
    household-care products (laundry detergent,
    SULFONATE dishwashing liquid, spray cleaner etc.). LINEAR
    ALKYLBENZENE SULFONATE is produced by
    sulfonation of LAB (LINEAR ALKYLBENZENE)
    with a variety of sulfonating agents.
