Abstract: Compound of the formula ##STR1## in which n denotes a number from 4 to 12, preferably 6 to 8, R.sub.1 denotes hydrogen or methyl, preferably hydrogen, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 denote C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, preferably propyl or butyl, and X denotes halogen, HSO.sub.4 or anions of organic acids having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or CH.sub.3 OSO.sub.3, and preferably denotes chlorine.These compounds are used on their own or together with non-ionic surfactants as an emulsifier for the production of aqueous polymer dispersions of fluorine-containing acrylic acid esters. Polymer dispersions of this type, formed from fluorine-containing acrylic acid esters, are used for imparting an oleophobic and hydrophobic finish to textile materials.

Abstract: A process for removing sulfuric acid from the reaction mixture obtained in the sulfoxidation of paraffins, which comprises adding an organic amine sulfate to the reaction mixture and removing the phase consisting of water and sulfuric acid which thereby separates out, adding to the remaining phase containing alkanesulfonic acid and alkanesulfonic acid amine salt an amount of an alkali metal hydroxide sufficient to convert the alkanesulfonic acid and the alkanesulfonic acid amine salt into the alkali metal alkanesulfonate, the organic amine being liberated, removing the paraffin from this mixture, together with the free organic amine, by steam distillation, removing the free organic amine from the paraffin by extraction with sulfuric acid and employing the resulting organic amine sulfate again at the start of the whole process for removing the sulfuric acid.
