Alpha olefin sulfonates are typically created by processes such as ethylene oligomerization, or by the Fischer-Tropsch process of synthesis. The sulphonation process starts inside a continuous thin film reactor. High-temperature hydrolysis reacts with sultones to form a mixture of cyclic sulfonate esters and alkene sulfonic acids. This is followed by incorporating aqueous sodium hydroxide to neutralize the mix. Neutralization and hydrolysis are carried out in isopropanol instead of water in order to form Alpha olefin sulfonates in solid form.
