Structure characterization

The structure of CAMEES was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared

Spectroscopy (FT-IR). Figure 4showed the FT-IR spectra of CAMEES and
CAMEE. In the FT-IR spectra, the signal at 1110 cm−1 was assigned to the
vibration of the ether group (-(CH2CH2O)nH), the signal at 1733 cm−1 was
represented to the ester group (-COO-). Both CAMEE and CAMEES have
the two same absorption bands, indicating that the sulfonation reaction had
no effect on the polyether and ester ether. The new signals at 1039 cm−1was
assigned to the absorption peak of sulfonic group. The difference between
CAMEE and CAMEES at the 1039 cm−1 showed that the sodium bisulfite
sulfonation method can successfully graft the sulfonic acid group to the
double bond of carbon. Furthermore, the two-phase titration procedure
(according to 2.2) proved that the anionic content of the purified CAMEES
reached above 99.0%. From these results, we can conclude that new
CAMEES can be successfully synthesized using the sodium bisulfate
sulfonation method and upon extraction high purity can be achieved.
