Greatopportunities in production of Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid (LABSA)
Inorganic chemistry's linear alkyl benzenesulfonate is a valuable commodity. Sulfonation of linear alkyl benzene yieldsalkyl benzene sulfonate, which is used to make detergents and surfactants forore flotation. For penoizol, it's used as a foaming agent. Although the LABSAhas been around for 75 years, its widespread use began in the 1960s due to itsexcellent primary biodegradability.
