Reaction Steps

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