On water solubility of С17–С24 alkylbenzolsulphoic acids used as an additive to motor oils

Abstract

Using the nephelometric method, the water solubility of C17–C24 alkylbenzenesulfonic acids has been studied. The results of the study made it possible to develop a technique for measuring the solubility of alkylbenzenesulfonic acids used in the production of additives for motor oils. Using the methodology in scientific and industrial laboratories, it is possible to determine the content of ABSA in mixtures with water and to qualify this substance according to the criterion of water solubility when assigning the appropriate code in the Commodity Nomenclature of Foreign Economic Activity.
