ラウレス硫酸ナトリウム

使用Sodium laureth sulfate (sometimes referred to as SLES) is used in cosmetics as a detergent and also to make products bubble and foam. It is common in shampoos, shower gels and facial cleansers. It is also found in household cleaning products, like dish soap.

Sulfation. Initially, lauryl ethoxylate is sulfated in batches by cholorosulfonic acid. Both reagents are fed to a glass-lined, stirred, jacketed reactor, with the acid being gradually added to the reaction. The sulfation is carried out at 25 - 30°C under a vacuum for about 2.5 hours. The gaseous HCl by-product is led off the sulfation product and directed to a scrubber downstream. The sulfation product is fed to the neutralization.Neutralization. The sulfation product is fed to a neutralization vessel, where it is contacted with a 50 wt% caustic soda solution along with process water to adjust its active component. The neutralization reaction is carried out below 45 °C, generating a 70 wt% sodium lauryl ether sulfate further routed to packaging. Scrubbing. The HCl evolved during the sulfation is fed to a scrubber, which is absorbed in process water, generating a 33 wt% hydrochloric acid solution by-product.
