General chemical structure of αあるふぁ-olefin sulfonates
R= Alkyl, M= Na+, n = 1 or 2

αあるふぁ-Olefin sulfonates (also: alpha-olefin sulfonates or AOS) are a group of anionic surfactants, which are used as detergents.[1] The compounds contain a - mostly linear, primary - alkyl R and a monovalent cation M, preferably sodium.[2] The most frequently used example of this group of substances is sodium αあるふぁ-olefin sulfonate (INCI: Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate).[3]

Production and composition

[edit]

αあるふぁ-Olefin sulfonates are produced by sulfonation of alpha-olefins, typically using sulfur trioxide. Subsequent alkaline hydrolysis gives a mixture of alkene sulfonates (60-65%) and hydroxyalkane sulfonates (35-40%). The commercially available olefin sulfonates are mostly solutions with about 40% active ingredient content.[4][5]

Description

[edit]

In addition to a longer hydrocarbon chain in which there must be at least one double bond (hence the name "olefin"), it has an anionic sulfonate headgroup with a sodium ion as a counterion. The sulfonate group is negative in aqueous solution, which is why the αあるふぁ-olefin sulfonates are among the anionic surfactants. In contrast to most other surfactants in which the C12-alkyl chains have the highest surface activity, olefin sulfonates shows maximal activity when using C14and C16-olefins.[4]

Usage

[edit]

αあるふぁ-Olefin sulfonates with linear alkenyl radicals from C12 to C18 are used as anionic surfactants in various areas of application due to their pronounced foam formation[clarification needed] and foam stability (even with high water hardness), excellent fat-dissolving power and oil dissolving power as well as a favorable ecological profile and low aquatic toxicity and human toxicity.[6][7] They are typically used in detergents and cleaning agents, for degreasing, in the emulsion polymerization, the conditioning of concrete and mortar as well as in the formulation of pesticides.[2]

Sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate is being introduced in some shampoos as an alternative to sodium laureth sulfate. Some groups and sellers suggest that it is healthier, but this claim lacks evidence.[8]
