Title: Synthesis of a Surfactant Hexadecyl Methyl Dihydroxyethyl Ammonium Bromide by a Non-Solvent Synthesis Method
Abstract: 1-Bromohexadecane (BHD) and N-Methyl diethanol amine (MDEA) are applied as reactants, to synthesize the surfactant hexadecyl methyl dihydroxyethyl ammonium bromide (HMDAB). The product was analyzed by IR, 1 H NMR and MS. The best reaction conditions are obtained by single feature experiment method: 110°C, molar ratio of reactants n (BHD):n (MDEA) = 1.1:1, reaction time 110min, and scale up in a 10 L reactor in similar condition. Finally the surface tension of 24.8 mN·m -1 was identified, showing that the HMDAB has good solubilization, foaming and emulsifying properties.
