Abstract:

α-sulfofatty acid methyl ester sodium salt(MES) with 70% active mass fraction product was added into 50-55 ℃ low boiling organic solvent of water soluble in heat and molten state. After cooling, crystallization, filtration and drying, high purity MES powder products were obtained. The experiment obtained the best optimum purification and refining process by investigating the low boiling organic solvent type of water soluble, feed quality ratio of raw materials and solvent, cooling temperature and crystallization time. And the optimum conditions were methanol as solvent, the mass ratio of MES and the feed 1:3, the cooling temperature 5 ℃, the crystallization time 120 min, the drying time 60 min, the drying temperature 45 ℃ and the solvent was used for three times and then distilled. Under these conditions, the recovery rate of the prepared MES powder product was greater than 98%, and the active mass fraction was greater than 93.0%. After the product was sealed and stored at 40 ℃ for 12 h, the sieving rate of sieve size of 0.850 mm reached 100%.

Key words: MES, surfactant, refine, powdering
