The invention discloses an
alkyl glycoside derivative surfactant and a preparation method thereof.The preparation method of the
alkyl glycoside derivative surfactant comprises the steps that firstly, a
carboxylation reaction is conducted, specifically,
alkyl glycoside and chloroacetate are subjected to a reaction under
metal hydroxide, and alkyl glycoside
carboxylate is generated; and then carrying out acidification separation: acidifying the alkyl glycoside
carboxylate with
hydrochloric acid, and separating the obtained product to obtain the alkyl glycoside
carboxylic acid.
Alkyl glycoside is selected as an initiator of surfactant molecules, and alkyl glycoside
carboxylic acid is obtained through
carboxylation of alkyl glycoside and chloroacetate. The obtained surfactant has higher surface activity on the basis of the original alkyl glycoside.
