Dodecanol, known as lauryl alcohol, is commonly used in production of Alkylpolyglycosides (APG) by reacting the dextrose with an excess of dodecanol in the presence of an acid catalyst. After the reaction ended, the challenging part, which is the purification step, to separate unreacted dodecanol fr...
