Briefly,  Krafft temperature for cesium dodecyl sulfate is affected by cation concentration

Explanation:

I need to prepare an anionic surfactant from a treatment of cetyl alcohol (hexadecanol) and H2SO4, and then neutralize it using NaOH or NH3;

  • but sodium hexadecyl sulfate has a standard Krafft temperature of around 45 degrees Celsius, which is too high for our purposes.

  • Is it possible to reduce the Krafft temperature to room temperature by adding electrolytes, solvents or modifying counter-ions
