Abstract: A process for converting naturally occurring fats and oils to sulfonated surfactants that can be used in a variety of applications where surfactants are found to be applicable including but not restricted to Enhanced Oil Recovery, paper and pulp processing, mining, metal treating, adhesives, coatings, pesticide formulations, herbicide formulations, fungicide formulations. The byproduct of such a process is a useful solvent or source of biodiesel fuel.

Abstract: 2-alkyl alkoxylated alcohol sulfonate surfactants having the structure R—O—(PO)x(EO)yCHR'CHR?CH2SO3Na are disclosed along with a process of making such surfactants. The surfactants are both electrolyte tolerant and tolerant to high temperatures and may be use for many applications where these properties are required.

Abstract: A process for the recovery of oil from subterranean reservoirs by injecting an aqueous fluid containing from about 0.05 to about 2.0% by weight of a surfactant of structure where m+n=1-30 or more, x+y=0-28, EO=oxirane, PO=methyl oxirane, M=H, Na, K, NH3, Amine, Ca, Mg, R and R1 are each separately and independently H, branched or linear alkyl, branched or linear alkenyl, A=aromatic, and, a+b=0 to 30.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for producing light colored polyalkylated arylalkyl sulfonic acids. The polyalkylated arylalkyl sulfonic acids may be further neutralized with alkalis or amines to form the corresponding light colored sulfonated salts. The present invention also makes manufacture of polyalkylated arylalkyl sulfonic acids possible as first intent products using an inexpensive and simple reaction.

Abstract: New anionic surfactants and methods of preparation which are derived from aromatic or substituted aromatic molecules and alkenesulfonic acid. Wherein the aryl compound is alkylated and sulfonated in one-step with an alkene sulfonic acid prior to sulfonic acid neutralization. The methods allow the functional sulfonate group to be attached to the end of the alkyl chain rather than to the aromatic ring thus allowing for selective substituted groups, either branched, linear or alkoxylated or combinations thereof to be placed on the aryl compound prior to sulfonation and alkylation.
