Research paper thumbnail of Synthesis, Properties and Applications of Anionic Phosphate Ester Surfactants: A Review

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.

The effect of anionic surfactants like triethanolamine lauryl sulphate, sodium dodecyl benzene sulphonate was also studied on ovalbumin casein and α-amylase by viscometric and other related methods. The binding results are helpful in proposing a mechanism of ligand interaction with biopolymers in livings mediated by metal ions. The additions of proteins may decrease the critical micelle concentrations of the surfactants. This aspect possesses a good means of increasing the detergency of the surfactants.

The studies of FTIR, TLC, HPLC and NMR have been used to understand the reaction mechanism, as well as for optimization of the reaction parameters. The reaction is highly exothermic and the effect of temperature, rate of addition of reagents and reaction time are important factors affecting the formation of diol. Viscosity studies, HPLC, FTIR, NMR and acid number studies have shown that, these parameters could be used as process control parameters for the synthesis of diol. Refractive index of the synthesized diol is found to be higher than that of the reactants used.

Refrigerants are the materials to use in airconditioning and refrigeration system. This article describes the developments and history of the first-, second-, third-and fourth-generation refrigerants. Moreover, the focus is on a fourth-generation refrigerant, viz. HFO-1234yf having zero ozone depletion potential and very low global warming potential. Synthesis procedure, chemistry, applications and consumption norms of HFO-1234yf are explained.

Research paper thumbnail of Certain Rheological Aspects of Functionalized Guar Gum

Guar is a polymer of high molecular weight and its aqueous solutions exhibit unique rheological properties, which has led to its wide acceptance by the industry. In certain industrial applications low molecular weight guar and its derivatives are needed, and conventionally chemical depolymerisation of guar is carried out for this purpose. Radiation processing is a novel and green technology for carrying out depolymerization and can be an ideal substitute for chemical depolymerisation technique. In order to study the effect of radiation on guar derivatives, three types of derivatives have been taken in the present study: carboxymethyl, hydroxyethyl, and methyl guar. The effect of 1-50 KGy radiation dose on the rheological behavior of these derivatives has been studied, and the results have been described in the present paper. The effect on storage and loss modulus with respect to frequency and effect on viscosity with respect to shear rate have been discussed in detail.
