Sergeev In the sulfonation of the alkylaromatic and naphthenoaromatic hydrocarbons present in distillate lube stocks (for example, AS-6 and MSG-8) by the use of gaseous sulfur trioxide, followed by neutralization with an aqueous solution of ammonia or sodium hydroxide, an oil solution of sulfonates is obtained, with the following composition (% by weight) [1-3]: With removal of Without removal of acid tar acid tar Surfactants 13-25 25-30 Unsulfonated oils (hydrocarbons) 46-72 45-60 Inorganic salts 1.2-2 4-6 Water Remainder The surfactants present in the oil solutions after the acid tar has been removed consist mainly of oil-soluble sulfonates, which are arbitrarily assigned to Group B (on the basis of monosulfonic acids of naphthenoaromatic hydrocarbons with long side chains) [4]. The oil-soluble sulfonates are recovered from the oil solutions either by single-stage extraction with 60% isopropyl alcohol [5] or in two stages (treatment with water to remove the unsulfonated oils, followed by extraction with n-hexanol to remove the inorganic salts in mixture with the water-soluble sulfonates) [6]. The oil-soluble sulfonates are used as com- ponents of lubricating/cooling fluids and as detergent--dispersant additives for !ube oils.
