Detergent

Soon after World War II, another raw content, alkylbenzene, became available in huge amounts. These days it is the most essential raw content for artificial detergent production; about 50 percent of all artificial soaps created in the U. s. Declares and european European nations are depending on it. The alkyl molecular team has in the past usually been C12H24 (tetrapropylene) acquired from the petrochemical gas propylene. This molecular team is connected to benzene by a response known as alkylation, with various factors, to type the alkylbenzene. By sulfonation, alkylbenzene sulfonate is produced; promoted in dust and fluid type, it has excellent detergent and washing qualities and generates great froth.
