Abstract

The composition of heavy alkyl benzene sulfonates (HABS) was determined and the HABS was separated by a preparative HPLC. The surface and interfacial tensions of the components were measured. The results show that the HABS is a mixture of homologues, CnABS, with different alkyl carbon numbers ranging from 12 to 25 on phenyl group. The CMC of six components, C12ABS, C13ABS, C16ABS, C17ABS, C18ABS, and C19ABS are 0.401–0.030 g·L−1. The C16ABS has the strongest interfacial activities. There occurred synergism between C16ABS and ionized organic acids in the crude oil produced by Na2CO3.
