| Abstract: | The synthesis, characterization, structural elucidation, and application of the dispersant (NSC) obtained from condensation of β-naphthalene sulphonic acid and formaldehyde are described. The one pot process from naphthalene, sulphuric acid, and formaldehyde leads to reproducible condensate products with n = 13 and 14 naphthalene nuclei. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded in D2O (representative spherical shape) and DMSO (representative rod-like shape). Bleaching leads to the recovery of excellent super pure material. |
