The purpose of this study is to determine if the chemical coposition of post dodecyl benzene (PDB) which is obtained as the by product during the production of dodecyl benzene (DDB) at PETKIM, Petrochemical Corporation, is a suitable raw material for the production of alkyl benzene sulphonic acids of high molecular weights. In this work, physical and chemical properties of PDB are determined and results are compared with literature values. Chemical composition analysis are done by IR spectroscopy. Thus, the types of alkylates in PDB are determined both qualitatively and quantitatively, the results showed that PDB consist mainly of mono‐and m‐di‐alkyl benzenes, only a small amount of p‐di‐alkyl benzenes are also present.
