Reaction Steps

A 500 gallon (1893 L) tank containing 211 gallons (757 L) of purified water was charged with 0.07 lbs.(0.32 kg) of sodium lauryl sulfate, and the aqueous solution was agitated to ensure homogeneity. A 66% aqueous solution of toluene sulfonic acid monohydrate, 500 lbs.(227 kg), was added followed by the addition of 5 gallons (19 L) of purified water. Finally, an aqueous solution of ammonium hydroxide (17.5 gallons (66 L), 29-30% NH4OH by weight) was added. This catalyst solution had a density of 8.65 lb/gallon (1.04 kg/L) and a solids content of about 15±1%.
