Degradation kinetics and solvent effects of various long-chain quaternary ammonium salts

Surfactants such as quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) have been in increasing demand, for emerging new applications. Recent attempts at process intensification of their production have disclosed the need for a better understanding of QAS thermal stability. This work aims to determine the degradation kinetics of various QASs and the associated solvent?effects. The degradation kinetics of four methyl carbonate QASs were determined in various polar solvents in stainless steel batch autoclaves. (Formula presented.) H NMR spectrometry was employed for offline analysis of the reaction mixtures. The kinetic parameters were then used to compare the thermal stability of the four compounds in the polar solvents. Water showed no degradation, and methanol (MeOH) was the solvent that provided the second-best stability. Water–MeOH mixtures may provide an overall optimum. Moreover, and longer long-chain substituents increased the degradation?rate. Thermogravimetric analysis was used to obtain the thermal stability in a solid state, that is, solventless environment. Isoconversional analysis showed that no reliable kinetic parameters could be determined. Nevertheless, the data did allow for a comparison of the thermal stability of 14 different QASs. Furthermore, the relative instability of the compounds in the solid state demonstrated the challenges of solventless QAS?production.

Synthetic method of aryl sulphobetaine in solvent-free system

The invention relates to a synthetic method of aryl sulphobetaine in a solvent-free system. The method comprises the steps that alkyl dimethyl tertiary amine and benzyl chloride which are close to the stoichiometric ratio react to synthetize alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride at a low temperature, under high-speed stirring of a planetary stirrer and dilution of dry air in the solvent-free system, alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride is added into chlorosulfonic acid close to the stoichiometric ratio step by step for a reaction, and alkyl dimethyl benzyl sulphobetaine is obtained. According to the method, no solvent is needed, the production cost is low, a small amount of residual chlorosulfonic acid obtained after a solvent-free reaction can be recycled through high-speed centrifugation, and the yield of alkyl dimethyl benzyl sulphobetaine can reach 98% or above.

Interactions between biocide cationic agents and bacterial biofilms

The resistance of bacterial biofilms to physical and chemical agents is attributed in the literature to various interconnected processes. The limitation of mass transfer alters the growth rate, and physiological changes in the bacteria in the film also appear. The present work describes an approach to determination of the mechanisms involved in the resistance of bacteria to quaternary ammonium compounds (benzalkonium chloride) according to the C-chain lengths of those compounds. For Pseudomonas aeruginosa CIP A 22, the level of resistance of the bacteria in the biofilm relative to that of planktonic bacteria increased with the C-chain length. For cells within the biofilm, the exopolysaccharide induced a characteristic increase in surface hydrophilicity. However, this hydrophilicity was eliminated by simple resuspension and washing. The sensitivity to quaternary ammonium compounds was restored to over 90%. Staphylococcus aureus CIP 53 154 had a very high level of resistance when it was in the biofilm form. A characteristic of bacteria from the biofilm was a reduction in the percent hydrophobicity, but the essential point is that this hydrophobicity was retained after the biofilm bacteria were resuspended and washed. The recovery of sensitivity was thus only partial. These results indicate that the factors involved in biofilm resistance to quaternary ammonium compounds vary according to the bacterial modifications induced by the formation of a biofilm. In the case of P. aeruginosa, we have underlined the involvement of the exopolysaccharide and particularly the three-dimensional structure (water channels). In the case of S. aureus, the role of the three-dimensional structure is limited and drastic physiological changes in the biofilm cells are more highly implicated in resistance.

Quaternization reaction of some N,N-dimethylalkylamines with benzyl chloride

The parameters which influence the quaternization reaction of some N,N-dimethylalkylamines of RN(CH3)2, type (R = octyl, decyl, dodecyl, tetradecyl and hexadecyl) with benzyl chloride were studied. By thermogravimetric analyses, the kinetic parameters, the reaction order, "n", and the activation energy, "Ea", of the thermal decomposition of the quaternary salts prepared in this study, were established.
