Natural fatty alcohols were ethoxylated to synthesize fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ethers in the presence of the catalyst prepared in our lab and the ethoxymer distributions were analyzed by gas chromatogram. The experimental results indicated that the ethoxylated oligomers showed very narrow distribution in the presence of the catalyst. In the case of average adduct number of ethylene oxide 1. 6
the reaction pressure 0. 1~0. 3MPa
the reaction temperature 120℃
the mixed fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether with only 15. 5 % of the free alcohol and 76. 2% of the main oligomers AEO
