Synthesis of a New CO2 Philic Surfactant for Enhanced Oil Recovery Applications

The synthesis of CO2philic surfactant using maleic anhydride and4-tert-butylbenzyl alcohol is reported. We reacted maleic anhydride with 4-tert-butylbenzyl alcohol to form bis(4-(tert-butyl)benzyl) fumarate and sulfonated the produced diester. The esterification reaction was optimized for a maximum...
