The synthesis involved the esterification of maleic anhydride to produce bis(2-(2-(tert-butoxy)propoxy)propyl) maleate and subsequent sulfonation of the esterified product. Para toluene sulfonic acid was employed as catalyst for the esterification reaction. The esterification reaction was optimized for the maximum yield of 98 of bis(2-(2-(tert-butoxy)propoxy)propyl) maleate. The esterification reaction kinetics employing heterogeneous catalyst were also studied. Although this is a bimolecular reaction, a first order reaction kinetics with respect to acid has been observed. The activation energy was found to be 58.71 kJ/mol. The diester was followed by the sulfonation process and a yield of 85 of surfactant was achieved. The synthesized surfactant successfully lowered down the IFT between CO2/brine to 1.93 mN/m. This surfactant has a great potential to be used for CO2-EOR applications. © 2014 Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. date: 2014 publisher: Taylor and Francis Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84896092281&doi=10.1080%2f01932691.2013.794111&partnerID=40&md5=e7c8eab293d2da64d2517568317cf96d id_number: 10.1080/01932691.2013.794111 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology volume: 35 number: 3 pagerange: 463-470 refereed: TRUE issn: 01932691 citation: Sagir, M. and Tan, I.M. and Mushtaq, M. and Ismail, L. and Nadeem, M. and Azam, M.R. and Hashmet, M.R.
