Abstract

Mono-long chain amine oxide surfactants can be prepared containing active levels of greater than about 30%, by weight of amine, and with low nitrite and nitrosamine levels and low levels of residual hydrogen peroxide when oxidized under controlled temperature conditions in the presence of bicarbonate material present at levels less than about 2.5%, by weight of amine, and without the presence of phase-modifying solvents.
