In the present study is performed a review of the current processes of sulfonation of various raw materials for determine the process conditions in order to present the state of the art of sulfonation processes for the manufacture of anionic surfactants. There has been a scientific literature with emphasis on several aspects: Technology, sulfonation reactors and operating conditions in the process, analytical techniques for monitoring the reaction degree, the mathematical models proposed in the literature for the sulfonation/sulfation in tubular absorbers, patenting and specialized industry publications in this area.
