Abstract: This invention relates to novel processes for the production of enhanced yields of polyalkylaromatic polysulfonic acids. More particularly, the invention pertains to processes for sulfonating polyalkylaromatic compounds employing sulfuric acid treatment and recovering the polyalkylaromatic polysulfonic acid produced thereby after formation of a three phase system by the addition of controlled amounts of water, causing the polysulfonic acid to accumulate in the bottom layer, with which it is readily separated.

Abstract: Improved solvent-extractants for the selective recovery of metal values from acidic aqueous media comprise solutions of 5-alkylbenzotriazoles in water-immiscible organic solvents. Extraction efficiency is enhanced by addition to the solvent-extractant of alkyl aromatic sulfonic acids, alkyl phosphoric acids or carboxylic acids. Especially important applications for the improved solvent-extractants are in the recovery of copper (II) from cobalt (II), copper (II) from nickel (II), copper (II) from iron (III), copper (II) from zinc (II), nickel (II) from cobalt (II), nickel (II) from zinc (II), nickel (II) from iron (III), iron (III) from magnesium (II), and cobalt (II) from zinc (II).

Abstract: Solvent-extraction processes to recover metal values are improved by use as a component of the solvent-extractant of didodecylnaphthalene sulfonic acid. Especially important applications for the improved solvent-extractant which can include a .alpha.-hydroxy oxime are in the separation recovery of copper, nickel, zinc and cobalt and the selective separation of these metals, one from the other, and from iron, in acidic aqueous media.

Abstract: Amino resins, e.g., urea-formaldehyde and melamine-formaldehyde thermosetting resin systems, are catalyzed with high molecular weight polyalkylaromatic polysulfonic acids, e.g., dinonylnaphthalene disulfonic acid and didodecylnaphthalene disulfonic acid. Resins cured with such catalysts provide surface coatings having superior properties. The catalyzed compositions can include other conventional ingredients, capable of co-reacting with the amino resins, such as polyols, polyacids, alkyd resins, polyester resins, and the like, to provide compositions curable to products having a wide range of properties.

Abstract: An improved process for producing metal salts of organosulfonic acids comprises reacting the sulfonic acid with a slight excess of the corresponding metal carbonate until the carbonate/acid equilibrium point is reached, i.e., the pH of a substantially carbonate- and bicarbonate-free sample stabilizes in the range of 6.0 to 6.38, and then adding a very small amount of stronger base to effect complete neutralization of the remainder of the sulfonic acid.
