- A Industrial chemical process used to make a diverse range of products such as dyes and color intensifiers, pigments, medicinal, pesticides and organic intermediates is called Sulfonation.
- Reactions are carried out using, concentrated sulfuric acid, Oleum or sulfur tri oxide as the sulfonating agent.
- A difficult reaction to perform on an industrial scale because the reaction is rapid and highly exothermic.
- Commercial scale Sulfonation reactions require special equipment and instrumentation that allows tight control of the mole ratio of SO3 to organic and rapid removal of the heat of reaction.
- The process equipment cost is an important factor to be considered in choice of a Sulfonation process.
