SummaryA method for quantitative determination of ethylene oxide adducts is described. By precipitation in hydrochloric acid solution with a known quantity of ferrocyanic acid, filtration, and titration with zinc sulfate, the consumption of ferrocyanic acid can be determined. From the results a m.d. of less than 8% was calculated, the corresponding figure for adducts containing more than 9 ethylene oxide units does not surpass 5%. The reaction takes place on the ethylene oxide chain in the compound. To precipitate an adduct containing 6 units ethylene oxide approximately one mole of ferrocyanic acid is necessary.

The course of the lime soap-dispersing action of various surfactants has been examined by use of a titrimetric method. Two types of dispersants can be distinguished. With the addition of a surfactant of the first type, the concentration of the dispersed fatty acid increases gradually. If a surfactant of the second type is used, a definite increase of the fatty acid concentration first occurs after the addition of considerable amounts of the dispersant.Ethylene oxide adducts and sodium triethylene glycol monolauryl ether sulfate behave like dispersants of the first type whereas sodium dodeeylbenzenesulphonate and sodium lauryl sulfate belong to those of the second type. The dispersing action of both types of surfactants is discussed. 32]
