General description

Ammonium lauryl sulfate is an anionic surfactant consisting of a nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and a polar sulfate end group. It is used as a foaming agent, and as a detergent in many industrial applications.

Application

Ammonium lauryl sulfate can be used as:      
  • A catalyst in the synthesis of 1H-benzo[d]imidazole, quinoxaline, and 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[b][1,4]diazepine derivatives by reacting with benzene-1,2 diamine and aromatic aldehydes/1,2-diketones/ketones respectively.     
  • A corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel and copper in acidic solution.   
  • A surfactant in the fabrication of porous ceramics by gel casting.

Bovine β-lactoglobulin (βlg) is able to recognize a wide variety of hydrophobic ligands. Although binding promiscuity is characteristic of highly hydrophobic interactions, the structural plasticity of the βlg binding cavity entrance seems to be crucial for the interaction with polar

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are considered as priority pollutants because of their high risk to human health. In this paper, we addressed the issue of using hydrotalcite-based nanocomposites as adsorbents of six low molecular weight PAHs (acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, anthracene
