THE STUDY OF COLLOID-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF LATEX-ES SYNTHESIZED ON THE BASIS OF SOAPS OF SOAPSTOCK, CLEANED BY VARIOUS ORGANIC SOLVENTS
Emulsifiers on the basis of waste production of sunflower oil - soapstock purged by the action of different organic solvents, has been synthesized using alkaline hydrolysis. The rate of polymerization of styrene in the presence of these surfactants has been evaluated. Colloidal-chemical characteristics (dry residue, surface tension, electrokinetic potential, rapid coagulation threshold, latex globule size) are defined for the three synthesized polystyrene latexes. The results of the experiment allow us to conclude about the advantage in the synthesis of latexes emulsifier, which was obtained as a result of cleaning of soapstock by fusel oil.
