abstract = {In the present work, we propose a simplified spectrophotometric method for determining anionic surfactants, based on the
formation of the ionic pair anionic surfactant-methylene blue (AS–MB). This method, in relation to the conventional analytic procedure,
considerably reduces not only the quantity of chloroform used in extracting the ionic pair formed, but also the time and the
quantity of sample necessary to perform the assay, eliminating the filtration stage. The method has been simplified by displacing
the transfer equilibrium of the ionic pair AS–MB towards the organic phase, augmenting the volumetric relationship of chloroform/
sample. The method proposed has been applied in the study of primary biodegradation kinetics of linear alkylbenzenesulfonate
(LAS).},
