Cyclohexylamine (CHA) is a colorless liquid with strong alkalinity and certain nucleophilicity. These properties make it exhibit significant functionality in surfactant synthesis. Cyclohexylamine is increasingly used in surfactant synthesis and plays an important role in improving the performance of surfactants and reducing costs. This article will systematically review the application of cyclohexylamine in surfactant synthesis and explore its mechanism of action and market prospects. <\/p>\n
Cyclohexylamine can react with acidic compounds to form ionic bonds and generate cationic surfactants. For example, the quaternary ammonium salt surfactant generated by the reaction of cyclohexylamine and fatty acid has excellent emulsifying and dispersing properties. <\/p>\n
Cyclohexylamine can react with electrophiles to form covalent bonds and generate nonionic surfactants. For example, the polyether surfactant produced by the reaction of cyclohexylamine and ethylene oxide has excellent wetting and penetrating properties. <\/p>\n
Cyclohexylamine can react with compounds containing hydroxyl or carboxyl groups to form hydrogen bonds to generate amphoteric surfactants. For example, betaine surfactants produced by the reaction of cyclohexylamine and amino acids have excellent mildness and biodegradability. <\/p>\n
The application of cyclohexylamine in the synthesis of cationic surfactants mainly focuses on the generation of quaternary ammonium salt surfactants. <\/p>\n
4.1.1 Generation of quaternary ammonium salt surfactants<\/strong><\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine can react with fatty acids to generate quaternary ammonium salt surfactants. For example, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAB) produced by the reaction of cyclohexylamine and stearic acid has excellent emulsifying and dispersing properties. <\/p>\n Table 1 shows the application of cyclohexylamine in the synthesis of cationic surfactants. <\/p>\n The application of cyclohexylamine in the synthesis of nonionic surfactants is mainly focused on the generation of polyether surfactants. <\/p>\n 4.2.1 Generation of polyether surfactants<\/strong><\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine can react with ethylene oxide to generate polyether surfactants. For example, polyoxyethylene alkyl amines (EOA) produced by the reaction of cyclohexylamine and ethylene oxide have excellent wetting and penetrating properties. <\/p>\n Table 2 shows the application of cyclohexylamine in the synthesis of nonionic surfactants. <\/p>\n The application of cyclohexylamine in the synthesis of amphoteric surfactants mainly focuses on the generation of betaine surfactants. <\/p>\n 4.3.1 Generation of betaine surfactants<\/strong><\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine can react with amino acids to generate betaine surfactants. For example, cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB), produced by the reaction of cyclohexylamine and amino acids, has excellent mildness and biodegradability. <\/p>\n Table 3 shows the application of cyclohexylamine in the synthesis of amphoteric surfactants. <\/p>\n A detergent company used surfactants synthesized from cyclohexylamine when producing high-efficiency detergents. Test results show that the surfactant synthesized from cyclohexylamine has excellent detergency and foam stability, significantly improving the performance of the detergent. <\/p>\n Table 4 shows the application of surfactants synthesized from cyclohexylamine in detergents. <\/p>\n A cosmetics company used a surfactant synthesized from cyclohexylamine when producing a mild facial cleanser. The test results show that the surfactant synthesized from cyclohexylamine performs well in terms of mildness and fineness of foam, significantly improving the experience of using facial cleanser. <\/p>\n Table 5 shows the application of surfactants synthesized from cyclohexylamine in cosmetics. <\/p>\n A pesticide company used surfactants synthesized from cyclohexylamine when producing high-efficiency pesticide preparations. Test results show that the surfactant synthesized from cyclohexylamine has excellent wettability and permeability, significantly improving the efficacy of pesticides. <\/p>\n Table 6 shows the application of surfactants synthesized from cyclohexylamine in pesticides. <\/p>\n With the development of the global economy and the improvement of living standards, the demand for surfactants continues to grow. As an efficient synthetic raw material for surfactants, the market demand for cyclohexylamine is also increasing. It is expected that in the next few years, the market demand for cyclohexylamine in the field of surfactant synthesis will grow at an average annual rate of 5%. <\/p>\n With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the market demand for environmentally friendly products in the field of surfactants continues to increase. As a low-toxic, low-volatility organic amine, cyclohexylamine meets environmental protection requirements and is expected to occupy a larger share of the future market. <\/p>\n Technological innovation is an important driving force for the development of the surfactant industry. The application of cyclohexylamine in new surfactants and high-performance surfactants continues to expand, such as biodegradable surfactants, multifunctional surfactants and nanosurfactants. These new surfactants have higher performance and lower environmental impact and are expected to become mainstream products in the future market. <\/p>\n With the growth of market demand, market competition in the field of surfactants has become increasingly fierce. Major surfactant manufacturers have increased investment in research and development and launched cyclohexylamine products with higher performance and lower cost. In the future, technological innovation and cost control will become key factors for enterprise competition. <\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine has certain toxicity and flammability, so safe operating procedures must be strictly followed during use. Operators should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, ensure adequate ventilation, and avoid inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. <\/p>\n The use of cyclohexylamine in surfactant synthesis should comply with environmental protection requirements and reduce the impact on the environment. For example, use environmentally friendly surfactants to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC), and adopt recycling technology to reduce energy consumption. <\/p>\n Cyclohexylamine, as an important organic amine compound, is widely used in surfactant synthesis. Through its application in the synthesis of cationic surfactants, nonionic surfactants and amphoteric surfactants, cyclohexylamine can significantly improve the performance of surfactants and reduce the production costs of surfactants. Future research should further explore the application of cyclohexylamine in new fields, develop more efficient surfactants, and provide more scientific basis and technical support for the sustainable development of the surfactant industry. <\/p>\n [1]Smith, J.
