The efficiency of sodium sulfonate extraction from oil solutions depends to a great degree on the concentration and quantity of the extractant, an aqueous isopropyl alcohol solution. Attempts to determine how the yield of sodium sulfonate concentrate, the content of sulfonates in the concentrate, and the degree of sulfonate recovery from the oil solutions are influenced by the concentration and amount of extractant, with a constant extraction temperature (55-60 C) and constant pH of the medium (pH 10). Finds that the optimal concentration of the extractant and the amount of extractant used (both relative to the content of sulfonates) are 50-55% and 250-300% by weight, respectively.
