Petrochemical manufacturing

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product alkyl sulphates are nonionic surfactants. This type of product can either have no colour or have a colour that is in between yellow and brown. The main application of surfactants is in the production of cleaning products for both household application and personal care (Kosswig 2000). Alkyl sulphates are used usually in a concentration around 4%. The maximum concentration used is 20%. Alkyl sulphates can and are usually mixed with other surfactants (OECD 2007). This substances can either be produced in solid or liquid from and are usually sold with a purity range between 30 and 95% (OECD 2007). It is modelled as a pure substance. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models.   Reference(s):  Kosswig K. 2000. Surfactants.
