1-Phenylalkane Sulfonates for Studying Interfacial Tensions

Abstract A series of 1-phenylalkane sulfonates with high purity were synthesized through a simple and effective way. Interfacial tension (IFT) of 1-phenylalkane sulfonates against crude oil from Daqing oil field in China was investigated, interfacial tension minima were observed with changes of surfactant concentrations and time. Alkali concentrations where lowest interfacial tensions were achieved moved to low regions by increasing the chain length of 1-phenylalkane sulfonates, namely, 1-phenyldodecane sulfonate at about 2.2%, 1-phenyltetradecane sulfonate at about 0.6%, 1-phenylhexadecane sulfonate at about 0.3%. No minima were observed when interfacial tensions of pure 1-phenylalkane sulfonates against alkanes were measured. The phenomenon is quite distinct from that of 1-phenylalkane sulfontes against crude oil.
