Abstract

This paper reviews the various technologies involved in the synthesis of anionic phosphate ester surfactants. Use of base material such as alcohol ethoxylates, alkyl phenol ethoxylates, fatty acid ethoxylates and phosphating reagents plays a key role on the applications and properties of phosphate ester surfactants. Also roles are played by the reaction conditions maintained and charging conditions on the mono-diester ratio. In this paper attempt has been made to review the base materials used for the synthesis of phosphate esters, synthesis processes and their effect on the properties of phosphate esters, applications and global scenario of phosphate ester surfactants.

Kurzfassung

In diesem Artikel werden die verschiedenen Technologien, die bei der Synthese anionischer Phosphatester-Tenside eine Rolle spielen, dargestellt. Die Verwendung der Ausgangsmaterialien wie Alkoholethoxylate, Alkylphenolethoxylate, Fettsäureethoxylate und Phosphatierungsreagenzien spielt eine Schlüsselrolle bei den Anwendungen und Eigenschaften von Phosphatestertensiden. Auch spielen die beibehaltenen Reaktionsbedingungen und Aufladungsbedingungen auf das Mono-Diester-Verhältnis eine Rolle. In dieser Arbeit wurde versucht, die für die Synthese von Phosphatestern verwendeten Ausgangsmaterialien, Syntheseprozesse und ihre Wirkung auf die Eigenschaften von Phosphatestern, Anwendungen und das globale Szenario von Phosphatestertensiden zu überprüfen.
