Sulfonated anionic surfactants were synthesized by the
esterification of acrylic acid (AA) with different types of
fatty alcohols (C16:0, C18:0, C18:1 and mixed Peach oil fatty
alcohols) followed by addition of sodium bisulfite. The
Peach oil was extracted from Peach kernel waste, its
chemical characterization and fatty acids compositions
were determined. The chemical structure of the prepared
anionic surfactants was confirmed by FTIR and 1H NMR
spectroscopic tools. The surface properties and
thermodynamic parameters, which illustrate the
spontaneity of the adsorption and micellization processes
of the synthesized surfactants, were determined.
Furthermore, the biological activity of these surfactants
was examined against sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) and
showed the aggressive influence on their growth.
