Abstract In the beet sugar industry, in the extraction and purification stages there are a large amount of foams are present which causes many problems during the process , that can be removed by using an antifoaming agents. These are very expensive and they are imported from Europe . So the present work deals with the preparation of new antifoaming agents based on fatty acid esters to be used in beet sugar industries . Chapter I. of this thesis comprises the aim of the present work , a literature survey on : foams formation in beet sugar industry, classification of surfactants, classification of non- ionic surfactants , uses of non- ionic surfactants and specification of anti- foaming agents used in food sectors . Chapter II includes experimental methods used to synthesis some series of defoamers as following : 1- synthesis of defoamers using polyethylene glycol with oleic acid in presence of Conc. H2SO4 98% or phosphoric acid 85% or phosphomolybdic acid . 2- synthesis of effective defoamer; polyethylene glycol -10-hydroxy stearate. 3- laboratory tests . Chapter III comprises the results and discussion, which includes the followings :- 1. The synthesizes of defoamers using polyethylene glycol 600 and oleic acid in presence of Conc.H2SO4 98% as catalyst . 2. The synthesizes of defoamers using polyethylene glycol 600 and oleic acid in presence of H3PO4 85% as catalyst . 3. The synthesizes of defoamers using polyethylene glycol 600 and oleic acid in presence of phosphomolybdic acid as catalyst . The defoamers result from the reaction of 0.1 mole of polyethylene glycol (M.Wt =600) and 0.1 mole of oleic acid in presence of 0.1 mole Conc. H2SO4. as catalyst is the most effective synthesized anti-foaming agents . It have the same efficiency as the imported anti-foaming agent with 36 % of the cost of the imported anti-foaming agent. 4. Results of the elemental analysis , IR spectroscopy , and Mass spectroscopy proved that the chemical structure of the effective anti-foaming agent is 5-H.L.B measurement . Economic study : The cost of one ton of the imported antifoam 2,500 EURO based on prices 2003 17,500 LE . The approximately cost of one ton of the prepared antifoam 6,300 LE based on prices 2006 It is 6,300/17,500 х 100 = 36 % of the imported antifoam. This study demonstrate the possibility to synthesis a local defoamers with the same efficiency as the imported materials with 36% of its cost.
