The Synthesis and Performance of Sodium Methyl Ester Sulfonate for Enhanced Oil Recovery

Due to the high cost of surfactant production caused by petrochemical feedstocks, much attention has been given to nonedible vegetable oils as an alternative source of feedstock. A new nonedible oil-derived surfactant based on the Jatropha plant is synthesized. A single-step route was used for synt...
