Description

Sodium benzenesulfonate is a glycol ester that is used as an additive in detergents. It produces foam with air entrainment, which makes it suitable for cleaning surfaces and fabrics. Sodium benzenesulfonate can be used as a co-solvent to enhance the solubility of other substances. It has been shown to have synergistic effects with sodium pentachlorophenate, sodium hydroxide, and sodium hypochlorite when used for wastewater treatment. The reaction mechanism of this compound is not well understood, but it is thought to involve the formation of a sulfonic acid in water solution. Sodium benzenesulfonate also has analytical applications such as determining the concentration of human serum albumin or x-ray diffraction data to identify its crystalline structure.
