CAS NO.: 85536-14-7
EC/LİST NO.: 287-494-3


Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid are a class of anionic surfactants, consisting of a hydrophilic sulfonate head-group and a hydrophobic alkylbenzene tail-group. 
Along with sodium laureth sulfate they are one of the oldest and most widely used synthetic detergents and may be found in numerous personal-care products (soaps, shampoos, toothpaste etc.) and household-care products (laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, spray cleaner etc.).
They were first introduced in the 1930s in the form of branched alkylbenzene sulfonates (BAS). 
However following environmental concerns these were replaced with Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LAS) during the 1960s.
Since then production has increased significantly from about 1 million tons in 1980, to around 3.5 million tons in 2016, making them most produced anionic surfactant after soaps.

Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LABSA) is prepared commercially by sulfonating Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LAB). 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LAS), the world’s largest-volume synthetic surfactant, which includes the various salts of sulfonated alkylbenzenes, is widely used in household detergents as well as in numerous industrial applications. 
The LABSA market is driven by the markets for LAS, primarily household detergents. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid was developed as a biodegradable replacement for nonlinear (branched) alkylbenzene sulfonate (BAS) and has largely replaced BAS in household detergents throughout the world.

The pattern of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid consumption demonstrates the overwhelming preference by consumers for liquid laundry detergents in North America, whereas powders continue to be the dominant products in Western Europe, mainland China, and Northeast Asia (Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). 
Comparable and reliable data in other world regions are generally unavailable, but in these less-developed world areas, LAS is essentially used only in laundry powders (particularly in India and Indonesia) and hand dishwashing liquids. 
The latter are often used as general-purpose cleaners.

The Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid belong to the general class of anionic surfactants. 
They appeared in the surfactant market in 1964 for the first time, in order to substitute for the difficult to biodegrade surfactants. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid are a mixture of isomers and homologs, each of which contains an aromatic ring sulfonated on the para-position and an alkyl chain. 
A complete description of these compounds can be found in the website of HERA (Human & Environmental Risk Assessment on Ingredients of European household cleaning products) .

Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid toxicity depends on the length of the alkyl chain and the position of the aromatic ring in it. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid with longer alkyl chain are more toxic.
Moreover, Alkyl benzene sulfonic acids become more toxic as the aromatic ring is positioned further to the edge of the chain. 
The toxic effect of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid on microorganisms may be caused by the reduction of the surface tension on the cells. 
The reduction of the polarity of the cellular membrane (due to the adsorption of surfactants on it) results in its malfunction; the nutrients and oxygen cannot enter the cell and the toxic intracellular products cannot be removed from the cell. 
Both cases cause cellular decay.

Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid at low concentrations (0.02–1.0 mg l−1) in the aquatic environment have adverse effects on living organisms (fish and mollusks). 
Similarly, Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid at 40–60 mg kg−1 dry weight of soil may cause problems in the reproduction and growth of invertebrates and other organisms of the soil ecosystem.

Most of the surfactants used in households and industry end up in sewage-treatment plants. 
A large portion of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is removed from the aqueous phase of the wastewater in the first stages of the sewage-treatment process, due to either adsorption on the sludge or sedimentation in the presence of calcium or magnesium. 
The Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid homologs with the longest alkyl chain have a higher tendency to adsorb on the solids, and become less dissolved when interacting with calcium.

Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid tend to accumulate in the sludge and this depends on the sludge type and the processes taking place in the treatment procedure. Primary sludge usually retains 10–20% of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid contained in the raw wastewater. This percentage may be increased to 30–35% if the water hardness is high.

Generally, the determining factor for the fate of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid in sewage sludge is the aerobic conditions prevailing during sludge treatment. 
As these anionic compounds are easily biodegradable in the presence of air, the aerobic treatment of sludge leads to reduction of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid to a large extent. 
This is why Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid concentration is higher in anaerobically treated sludge than the aerobically stabilized sludge 

Biodegradation is a very significant process for Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid removal from sewage and sewage sludge. 
Microorganisms can utilize Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid for nutrients and energy or co-metabolize Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid through the initial catabolic reactions. 
The factors affecting Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid biodegradation are the chemical structure of the molecule and the prevailing aerobic or anaerobic conditions. 
Under aerobic conditions, Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid are mineralized to carbon dioxide, water, and sulfate ions. 
Mixed populations of microorganisms are more effective in converting a variety of alkyl subunits contained in Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid, because they are a mixture of organic compounds. 
In this sense, composting involving a mixed population of aerobic microorganisms (interacting with relationships of commensalism and synergism) favors Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid biodegradation . 
On the contrary, under anaerobic conditions, Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid biodegradation is hardly feasible.

Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is the largest-volume synthetic surfactant because of its relatively low cost, good performance, the fact that it can be dried to a stable powder and the biodegradable environmental friendliness as it has straight chain. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is an anionic surfactants with molecules characterized by a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic group. 
Alpha-olefin sulfonates (AOS) alkyl sulfates (AS) are also examples of commercial anionic surfactants. 
They are nonvolatile compounds produced by sulfonation. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid are complex mixtures of homologues of different alkyl chain lengths (C10 to C13 or C14) and phenyl positional isomers of  2 to 5-phenyl in proportions dictated by the starting materials and reaction conditions, each containing an aromatic ring sulfonated at the para position and attached to a linear alkyl chain at any position with the exception of terminal one (1-phenyl). 
The properties of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid differ in physical and chemical properties according to the alkyl chain length, resulting in formulations for various applications. 
The starting material LAB (linear alkylbenzene) is produced by the alkylation of benzene with n-paraffins in the presence of hydrogen fluoride (HF) or aluminium chloride (AlCl3) as a catalyst.  
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is produced by the sulfonation of LAB with oleum in batch reactors. 
Other sulfonation alternative reagents are sulfuric acid, diluted sulfur trioxide, chlorosulfonic acid and sulfamic acid on falling film reactors. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid are then neutralized to the desired salt (sodium, ammonium, calcium, potassium, and triethanolamine salts). 
Surfactants are widely used in the industry needed to improve contact between polar and non-polar media such as between oil and water or between water and minerals. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is mainly used to produce household detergents including laundry powders, laundry liquids, dishwashing liquids and other household cleaners as well as in numerous industrial applications like as a coupling agent and as an emulsifier for agricultural herbicides and in emulsion polymerization.

Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (Alkyl benzene sulfonic acids) are highly water soluble surface active agents widely used in synthetic laundry detergent formulation and household cleaning products. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acids are synthesized by FriedelCrafts alkylation of benzene followed by sulphonation of the aromatic ring, predominantly at the para position1. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is a mixture with chain lengths ranging from C10 to C14 with isomers having phenyl positions ranging from 2 to 7, resulting in 26 isomers2. 
They are discharged into the environment through industrial/household or launderette effluent into waterways and by sludge disposal and are significant environmental pollutants, as their biodegradation involves the consumption of bio-available oxygen resulting in an increase in chemical oxygen demand. 
They affect the aquatic environment and change the physiological properties of water and the exchange rate of oxygen across the gills of fish. 
Kimerle 3 compared reported ranges of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid toxicity (0.1-100 mg/L) to reported ranges of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid environmental concentrations and found safety margins (toxic effect concentration/water concentration) from 10 to 1000 for freshwater algae, invertebrates and fish. 
The lowest reported value for Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid toxicity in sediments is about 200 mg/kg. 
The relative amounts of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid found in the environment reflect the amount of each Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid component entering the environment minus the amount of each that has been destroyed or removed by biological or physicochemical processes4 . 
The biodegradation of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid can be considered in two stages. 

Primary biodegradation is said to have occurred when the original molecule has its structure altered by bacterial action5,6. 
Secondarymbiodegradation is the further conversion of the Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid molecule, ultimately to carbon dioxide, water, inorganic salts and products associated with the normal metabolic processes of bacteria7,8. 
Swisher’s distance principle states that biodegradation rates increase with increasing distance between the sulphonate group and the far end of the alkyl chain; thus, 2-phenyl C12 Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid degrades faster than 6-phenyl C12LAS and C13 LAS degrades faster than C10 LAS9. 
Hence, separation of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid homologues and isomers are important for observing the biodegradation kinetics of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acids. 
The varying lengths of the unsubstituted alkyl chain cause each isomer to have different characteristics relating to sorption and biodegradation. 
Sorption increases with increasing chain length and as the phenyl position approaches the end of the alkyl chain.

Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LAS) is an anionic surfactant. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid was introduced in 1964 as the readily biodegradable replacement for highly branched alkylbenzene sulphonates (ABS).

The optimization of ultrasonication process applied to Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LABSA) degradation is investigated with response surface methodology in this study. 
Methylene blue active substance assay is used as a mean to monitor the degradation of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid. 
The effects of independent process variables (initial LABSA concentration, pH, and reaction time) on main material degradation are investigated. 
Among the independent variables, the greatest effect on LABSA degradation is observed for reaction time. 
Besides this, the effects of both reaction time and initial LABSA concentration are quite similar. 
The initial pH value of the solution has a lower effect on degradation performance when compared to other parameters. 
The predicted maximum detergent degradation was 75% at the optimal conditions of pH 7.8, initial LABSA concentration of 20 mg L−1, and reaction time of 70 min. 
Specific cost of LABSA degradation by ultrasonic treatment varies from 0.579 to 4.657 Euro g−1 removal LABSA. 
According to the results of sonication treatment applied to real wastewater, approximately 40% of the LABSA degradation is achieved at three pH values (5.27, 7.50, and 9.59).

Alkyl benzene sulfonate (ABS) refers to a family of branched chain organic chemical compounds that were used as detergents. 
They are regarded as "hard" detergents due to their resistance to biological degradation. 
These compounds have been widely replaced by Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LAS), which is environmentally friendly and easily biodegrades to simpler substances. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonate caused persistent foam in sewage treatment plants, streams and rivers and created environmental problems.

Alkyl benzene sulfonate (ABS) is an organic chemical compound primarily used as a surfactant. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acids chemical formula is C6H5CnH2n+1, where n lies between 10 and 16. 
ABS is a major component of anionic detergents. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonates have two types depending on their chain structures: branched and linear chain. 
In the detergent industry, liner ABS is preferred because it is more biodegradable than ABS.

Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LAS), a biodegradable surfactant, is manufactured from sulfonation of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid has taken the place of branched dodecylbenzene sulfonates. Branched chain ABS biodegrades very slowly and therefore contributes to polluting lakes and streams by forming relatively stable foams.

Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid has excellent surfactants power, which has made them suitable for detergents, emulsifiers, and dispersing, wetting and foaming agents. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is very stable in hard water as well as in low acidic and alkaline media.

Although both ABS and Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid eventually fully degrade in an aerobic environment, linear ABS (LAS) biodegrades much faster than highly branched ABS (BAS). 
Adequate aerobic sewage treatment facilities are required for either of them to degrade.

Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is produced by the sulphonation reaction of Alkyl Benzene with Sulphur trioxide (SO). 
Some other processes might desire the use of Oleum or Sulphuric acid. 
The final decision will depend on various factors which might include the availability of raw material, location of the plant, the size of the plant, operation mode of the plant, to mention a few. 
Nevertheless, considering major factors such as cost, availability, flexibility and safety, SO still remains the preferential reagent for the reaction which is as shown on the flowsheet

Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is one of the major active ingredients for the production of soaps and detergents. 
Importantly, it forms a greater percentage of raw materials for the production of liquid soaps. 
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid s major producer includes Chemithon and Ballestra. 
Similar steps are used by both companies to produce LABSA. 
However, the technology is slightly different especially at the sulphonation stage where Chemithon utilizes the Falling Film Reactor or Jet Reactor while Ballestra employs the Stirred Tank Reactor/Cascade Reactor or Multitube Falling Film Reactor.

Alkyl benzene sulphonic acid is an anionic surfactant composed of a hydrophilic sulfonate head and a hydrophobic alkylbenzene tail.

Along with sodium laureth sulfate, it is one of the oldest and most commonly used synthetic hygiene agents.
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is found in many personal care products (such as soaps, shampoos, toothpaste) and home care products (laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, spray cleaner).
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid was originally introduced in the 1930s in the form of branched Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (BAS), but was replaced by linear Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LAS) in the 1960s due to environmental concerns.
Alkyl benzene sulfonic acids production increased drastically from approximately 1 million tons in the 1980s to approximately 3.5 million tons in 2016, which is reflected in the production of anionic surfactants the most after soaps.

Linear Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LABSA) is synthesized industrially by sulfonation of Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LAB), which can be obtained in different ways.
Alkylation with long-chain monoalkenes (such as dodecene) is most often achieved by using benzene and hydrogen fluoride as a catalyst.

Purified dodecylbenzenes are then sulfonated with sulfur trioxide to give the sulfonic acid.
Sulfonic acid is then neutralized with sodium hydroxide.

The term "linear" refers to the starting alkene rather than the final product.
Alkylation of linear alkenes, as well as 1-alkenes such as 1-dodecene, yields several isomers of phenyldodecane.

Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is also used as a washing agent in the textile industry.

The properties of alkyl benzene sulfonic acid differ in chemical and physical properties depending on the length of the alkyl chain.
This results in formulations that find many applications.
The resulting surfactants are used in the chemical industry to improve the contact between water and minerals.

Most anionic surfactants, including alkyl benzene sulfonic acid, are inherently non-toxic.
However, prolonged exposure to these surfactants can irritate and damage the skin through disruption of the lipid membrane that protects the skin and other cells.
On the other hand, biodegradability is determined by the hydrophobic hydrocarbon group of the surfactant.

Alkyl benzene sulfonic acid is one of the largest synthetic surfactants by volume due to its low cost and high performance.
Apart from that, LABSA can be dried in the form of a stable powder.
