Abstract
Abstract A method of manufacturing a surface active agent, which comprises: mixing one or more neutralized compounds obtained by neutralizing the sulfonate or the sulfate of C12 to 22 olefins, C12 to 22 paraffins or C8 to 22 aliphatic monohydric alcohol with polyhydric alcohol, polyoxyalkylene alkylether, polyoxyalkylene alkylphenyl ether or mixture thereof in a quantity of 0.1 to 10 times as much as the quantity of said neutralized compound(s) by weight; and then subjecting the resulting solution to stripping, thereby removing the unreacted oils contained in said neutralized compound(s).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A METHOD OF REMOVING UNREACTED OIL FROM A MEMBER OF THE GROUP CONSISTING OF A SALT OF (A) A SULFATE AND (B) A SULFONATE OF AN OIL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF (1) OLEFIN HAVING 12 TO 22 CARBON ATOMS, (2) PARAFFIN HAVING 12 TO 22 CARBON ATOMS, (3) ALIPHATIC MONOHYDRIC ALCOHOL HAVING EIGHT TO 22 CARBON ATOMS, AND MIXTURES OF SAID SALTS, SAID SALT CONTAINING AN APPRECIABLE AMOUNT OF UNREACTED OIL, WHICH COMPRISES: MIXING A MATERIAL CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF SAID SALT CONTAINING SAID UNREACTED OIL, WITH 0.1 <O 10.0 TIMES AS MUCH, BASED ON THE WEIGHT OF SAID SALT, OF A SUBSATNCE SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF (A) A POLYHYDRIC ALCOHOL, (B) A POLYOXYALKYLENE ALKYL ETHER, (C) A POLYOXYALKYLENE ALKYL PHENYL ETHER, AND (D) MIXTURES OF (A), (B) AND (C), SAID SUBSTANCE BEING ESSENTIALLY THE ONLY TREATING AGENT ADDED TO SAID SOLUTION, AND THEN SUBJECTING THE RESULTING LIQUID . MIXTURE CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF SAID AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF SAID SALT, SAID OIL AND SAID SUBSTANCE TO STRIPPING TO REMOVE SAID UNREACTED OIL.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein the quantity of said substance mixed with said material is 1 to 5 times as much, based on the weight of said salt.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein in said stripping, said resulting liquid mixture is heated to a temperature in the range of about 10* to 200*C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A method as defined in claim 1, wherein in said stripping, said resulting liquid mixture is subjected to a pressure in the range of about 2 to 760 mm Hg.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method as defined in claim 1, in which said salt is an ammonium or alkali metal sulfate or sulfonate of said oil.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
84 words
