Definitions

• Liquid all-purpose detergents for household and commercial use have taken their place in the past decade because they are easy and straightforward to use.
• the agents are usually marketed as preferably aqueous concentrates. They can be applied diluted or undiluted to a damp, absorbent cloth of any nature or a swarm, with which the hard surfaces made of metal, lacquered wood, plastic, ceramic products, such as porcelain, tiles, tiles and the like, are wiped off and thereby dust, greasy dirt and Stains are removed. It is desired that this surface treatment in turn does not leave any detergent stains and strips behind and does not require any aftertreatment, for example with a cloth soaked in clear water, that is to say moist.
• Dialkyl sulfosuccinates have long been commercially available as surface-active substances. Numerous cleaning agents for various purposes, which contain dialkyl sulfosuccinates, are therefore known from the literature.
• DE 23 17 076 (Unilever) describes dishwashing detergents made from dialkyl sulfosuccinate and alkyl sulfate or alkyl ether sulfate, which are suitable for manual washing.
• EP 71 411 (Unilever) describes liquid detergent compositions which consist of a mixture of dialkyl sulfosuccinates and various anionic and / or nonionic surfactants. These mixtures are also said to be distinguished by good cleaning performance and good foaming properties and are therefore also predominantly usable for manual dishwashing.
• EP 112 044 (Unilever) describes liquid detergent compositions comprising dialkyl sulfosuccinates in combination with alkyl ether sulfates which have a special carbon chain distribution.
• the formulations are characterized by improved performance and assembly. They are described as high-foaming and can therefore preferably be used as manually applicable dishwashing detergents.

• glycerol monoalkyl ethers can advantageously be prepared by combining excess glycerol in a reaction kettle with sodium hydroxide solution and heating under a nitrogen atmosphere, with water being distilled off. The batch is stirred for several hours. Then you set this reaction product with fatty alcohol sulfate, Na salt, or fatty alcohol polyethyleneglycol ether sulfate, Na salt, and further heats the reaction mixture for a few hours. The raw product is washed several times with water. Residual water in the organic phase is removed under reduced pressure. The glycerol monoalkyl ethers (GE) obtained in this way can then, if appropriate in the presence of a catalyst (for example Na methylate), be reacted with ethylene oxide in a pressure vessel under a nitrogen atmosphere at elevated temperature.
