Abstract
In this work, we studied to obtain synthetic fatty acids raw materials to produce surfactants and various detergents from paraffin. The solid paraffin extracted from the Tamsagbulag petroleum deposit was 46 mass%, distilled 350-450°C, by complexing with urea. Experimental study indicates paraffin's physicochemical characteristics from this petroleum are more suitable to use in the production of synthetic fatty acids. By solid paraffin oxidation, we obtained 33.01% of the synthetic fatty acids containing monocarboxylic acids.We suggest obtaining the synthetic fatty acid by oxidation process in normal condition from petroleum paraffin.
Highlights
Crude oil, one of the most complex chemical mixtures in the world, serves as a feedstock for the petrochemical industry and as raw material for many chemical products such as fuels, solvents, lubricant oils, plastics, fertilizers, detergents, and others [1, 2]
Based on the previous report, the crude oil of Mongolia was determined as heavy oil with high viscosity and has a lower yield of light fraction, and it belongs to the high-paraffinic category of crude oil [3, 6, 7]
In the previous research, based on the high-paraffin crude oil in the field of Tsagaan - Els, solid paraffin was extracted from the oil fraction and further oxidized by molecular oxygen the in the presence of a catalyst to produce synthetic fatty acids [10]
Summary
One of the most complex chemical mixtures in the world, serves as a feedstock for the petrochemical industry and as raw material for many chemical products such as fuels, solvents, lubricant oils, plastics, fertilizers, detergents, and others [1, 2]. One of a kind products obtained from the high paraffin crude oil is a synthetic fatty acid.
