Synthesis of a Surfactant Hexadecyl Methyl Dihydroxyethyl Ammonium Bromide by a Non-Solvent Synthesis Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

1-Bromohexadecane (BHD) and N-Methyl diethanol amine (MDEA) are applied as reactants, to synthesize the surfactant hexadecyl methyl dihydroxyethyl ammonium bromide (HMDAB). The product was analyzed by IR,1H NMR and MS. The best reaction conditions are obtained by single feature experiment method: 110°C, molar ratio of reactants n (BHD):n (MDEA) = 1.1:1, reaction time 110min, and scale up in a 10 L reactor in similar condition. Finally the surface tension of 24.8 mN·m-1 was identified, showing that the HMDAB has good solubilization, foaming and emulsifying properties.
