OFFICIAL METHODS AND RECOMMENDED PRACTICES OF THE AOCS Analysis of Sulfonated and Sulfated Oils These methods are applicable to the analysis of surface active agents of the sulfuric acid ester (sulfate) and sulfonic acid (sulfonate) types. In the former, there is an oxygen bridge between sem the sulfur and the carbon atoms whereas in the latter the sulfur is bound directly to the ea bon atom. The sulfuric acid ester or sulfate type is distinguished from the true sulfonate type by the fact that itis hydrolyzed upon boiling with mineral acids to yield free sulfuric acid WARNING Some of the methods contained in this section require the use of flammable, toxic, haz~ ardous and/or poisonous materials. Manufacturers’ safety instructions and the cautionary statements included in the methods for handling these materials should be observed. ‘Methods requiring the use of hazardous and toxic materials should be carried out in a prop- erly operating fume hood, to prevent exposure of laboratory personnel. Appropriate protec- tive clothing and equipment should be used. See the Laboratory Safety section of this book ANALYSIS OF SULFONATED AND SULFATED OILS AOCS& AOCS Official Method F 12-44 Reapproved 2009 Moisture, Distillation Method DEFINITION This method determines the moistute by distilation wich an immiscible solvent. SCOPE ‘This method is applicable o sulfonated and sulfated oils excep those that contain any ofthe following: mineral acids, fee sulfonic acids, free sulfuric acid esters; alkali hydroxides, carbonates, or acetates; alcoho, glycerol, dieshylene glycol, acetone, or other water-miscible volatile compounds ‘APPARATUS 1. Glass distillation apparatus—constructed as shown in Figure 1, with the fll (a) Flask—500 mL, Erlenmeyer or short-neck, round-botiom type.

It shall be subdivided into 0.1 mL. divisions with each 1 mL. line numbered and the 5 mL line at the top. The ertor at any indicated capacity shall not exceed 0.05 mL. (d)_ Distillation is better controlled by wrapping the tube which leads from the flask to the receiver with 100% fiberglass cloth tape. Ie is advantageous to wrap the flask also, especialy if there are drafts in the vicinity of the distllaci apparatus.

Calibrate the receiver by the following procedure: Add an accurately measured portion, 1 © 0.01 mL, of distilled water to 100 mL of xylene in the distillation flask.

Continue in this manner up to the capacity of che receiving tube. 2. Weigh a sulficent quantity of che test sample into the distillation flak to yield about 4 mL. of water. Ths is conveniently done using a weighing bottle. Add 100 mL of xylene and an amount of oleic acid equivalent to about 2.5 times the weight ofthe dry test portion. This is done to prevent the test portion from foaming and forming ajlly-like mass. 3. Introduce some glass beads to prevent bumping and mix the contents ofthe fas thoroughly by swirling, Assemble the ‘apparatus and fill the receiver with solvent by pouring chrough the condenser until che solvent begins to overflow into the distillation flask.

Discontinue heating, dislodge any drops of water which may be adhering to the inside of either che condenser tube or recciver with the wire spiral, and wash down with 5 mL of xylene 6.

APPARATUS: 1, Metal drum, can or other container with tight fitting coverat leas 1.50 L (120 Ib) capacige 2 Ladle with handle 5. Sample cans with righ ising covers 500 or 1000 mL (1 ox 21) eapaciy. PRESERVATIVE 1. Oil of cassia PROCEDURE 1. Raw soapstock is sampled as itis loaded, because filled or partly filled tank cars, drums, or barrels cannot be properly sampled after standing for any length of time. Acidulated soap stock may be sampled by this method or by any of the methods speci- fed for oils ot liquid fats as directed in ACS Official Method, C 1-47. The test sample is draw from the flowing stock ar the discharge end of th pipe, as the material enters the ear or other container 2, Take rest samples with the ladle From the flowing stock at regular and frequent intervals, so that not les than 25 individual portions of uniform size ate collected. 3. Place these portions in a drum, can or other metal container with tight fitting cover. Keep the container tightly covered, except during the actual simpling, so as to prevent the loss of moisture and to prevent contamination with Water or other foreign material. This is particularly eruc if the flow is interrupted for any reason ‘Ceution—IF the flow is interrupted and itis necessary to clear the lines, air is preferable to steam. [fit becomes necessary ‘o blow the line with steam, the steam must be blown back ftom the discharge end of the line into or towards the supply tankand nor towards the sampling end of the line. 4, The total laboratory sample accumulated shall amount to 0.1-0.2%6 by weight of the product sampled, ie 25-50 L (60-120 Ib) per tank cat 5. Add 0.1% of oll of casia to the composite test sample of raw soapstock (not acidulated stock), mix thoroughly, fill four 500 g-1 eg (1 or 21b) cans and seal them hermetically. The cans must be plainly marked for identification.

PROCEDURE FOR TOTAL FATTY ACID DETERMINATION 1. Mix the test sample thoroughly and weigh immediately. 2. Weigh 8-10 g of raw soapstock (4-5 g of acidulated soapstock) into a 300 mL Erlenmeyer flask or 400 mL. beaker (see Noes, 1). Add 50 ml of alcoholic alkali, cover with awatch glass, and heat in a water bath 0 saponify (see Notes, 2). Agitate frequently and heat for at least 30 min or until saponification is complete Remove the watch glass and continue heating in a water bath with occasional agitation to evaporate the alcohol. To avoid ‘oxidation, do not evaporate beyond a paste. If necessary, add a small amount of water when most of the alcohol has evaporated 4, Add 100 mL. of distilled water and heat until the soap has completely dissolved. Wash the contents into a glase-stoppered oplinder with hot distilled water, taking care not co exceed 2 total volume of 130 mL in the cylinder. 5. Add 3-5 drops of indicator and neutralize with dilute HCl to a pink methyl orange end point. Then add 1 mL of excess acid Rotate the cvlinder gently to mix the contents. 6. Cool to at least 35°C and acd 125 mL. of pecroleum ether. The fatty acids do not need to have separated completly before audding the ether. Stopper the cylinder, shake gently, and allow to sand until the petroleum ether layer separates. Siphon the petroleum ether layer into a 500 mL. separatory funnel, making sure chacas lite as possible ofthe insoluble matter which gathers a the ether-wate interface is carried over ino the separatory funnel. If any appreciable amount of insoluble matter does siphon aver into the separatory funnel, it will usually sete to the bottom and can be drained back into the extraction cylinder, Make at least four more similar extretions, using 25-30 ml. of petroleum ether each time and shak- ing the cylinder vigorously for 30 sec with each extraction, Extractions should be continued unci the petroleum ether layer is practically colocless.

Filter the diluted petroleum ether in a water bath as necessary to permie collection ofall che extracts and subsequene wash- ings. Wash the filter paper thotoughly with about 75 mL of petroleum ether, caking care to remove the yellow ring of fatty acids which usualy forms near the upper edge ofthe filter paper. This is best accomplished by washing the paper while its upper edge is lifted away from the filtering funnel with a small spatula or tweezers.
