Fatty Acid soil detergency performance of poly(sodium α-hydroxyacrylate)

Effects and properties of poly(sodium α-hydroxyacrylate) (PHA) on removal of stearic and oleic acids from cellulosic filter paper under various wash conditions were evaluated and compared with those of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) by using differential scanning calorimetry. PHA had a much greater effect on the removal of stearic and oleic acids than SDS under the same washing conditions. PHA produces complexes with fatty acids on filter paper during the washing process, and in DSC these complexes have endothermic peaks at temperatures higher than the melting point of the fatty acids. The complexes are formed at temperatures both below and above the melting point of the fatty acid and are removed completely from filter paper by rinsing. The conditions of temperature, time, and PHA concentration during washing all affected the formation of the complex and the removal of fatty acid. Whether the fatty acid chain was saturated or not did not affect the formation of a complex.     

Characterization of Phosphate-Free Detergent Powders Incorporated with Palm C16 Methyl Ester Sulfonate (C16MES) and Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid (LABSA)

Laboratory and pilot scale investigations were carried out on phosphate-free detergent (PFD) formulations comprising binary anionic surfactants of C16 palm methyl ester sulfonates (C16MES) and linear alkyl benzene sulfonic acid (LABSA) with the aim of maximizing the incorporation of C16MES into low density detergent powders without compromising the detergency and other significant properties. Initial laboratory experiments revealed that the detergent powder resulting from C16MES/LABSA with a 50:50 ratio and pH 7–8 has acceptable detergency stability over 1 week of accelerated ageing test at 50 °C and 85 % relative humidity. Subsequent experiments were carried out in a 5-kg/h-capacity pilot spray dryer using PFD formulations of C16MES/LABSA over the whole range of weight ratios under the same pH of 7–8. The concentration of the detergent slurry and cleaning performance (detergency, foaming ability and wetting power) of the resulting spray dried detergent powder (SDDP) were evaluated. C16MES/LABSA in a 40:60 ratio was selected as the ideal formulation based on its optimum detergent slurry concentration and comparable cleaning performance against the control formulation. Further environmental tests have confirmed that SDDP obtained from the ideal formulation is readily biodegradable (60 % in 13 days) and exhibits low eco-toxicity properties (LC₅₀ of 11.3 mg/L).     

Properties of Didecyldimethylammonium Formate and Sodium Fatty Alcohol Ether Carboxylate Mixed Systems

The surface activities and application properties of didecyldimethylammonium formate (DDAF) and sodium fatty alcohol ether carboxylate (AEC-9Na) mixed systems were measured. The results showed that the critical micelle concentration and surface tension of mixed systems have lower values than that of a single surfactant solution, which is attributed to the synergism of DDAF and AEC-9Na. It was found that the emulsifying properties for kerosene and wetting properties of the mixed systems were also better than single component surfactants. In addition, the mixed systems of AEC-9Na (16 wt%) with DDAF showed both better detergency and excellent antibacterial properties.     

油酸甲酯影响柴油机油清净性模拟研究

在柴油机油中加入不同比例的油酸甲酯,采用变温成漆板模拟实验,研究油酸甲酯对柴油机油清净性的影响,结果表明,油酸甲酯明显加速了柴油机油氧化变质。随着油酸甲酯加入比例提高、铝板板温增加,柴油机油清净性随之变差。不同比例的油酸甲酯对不同质量等级的柴油机油清净性影响有所不同,其由大到小的顺序为10%油酸甲酯+CD 15W/40,5%油酸甲酯+CD 15W/40,CD 15W/40,10%油酸甲酯+CF-4 15W/40,5%油酸甲酯+CF-4 15W/40,CF-4 15W/40。     

Microemulsion Formation and Detergency with Oily Soil: V. Effects of Water Hardness and Builder

In this study, the impact of water hardness and builder on the phase diagrams of motor oil microemulsions and the detergency of oil removal from a polyester/cotton blend was investigated. Water hardness and builder were found to have insignificant effects on the microemulsion phase diagram with motor oil. A mixed surfactant system of two parts C_14–15(PO)₃SO₄Na, and 98 parts C_12–14H_25–29O(EO)₅H of the total actives at 4% salinity was used to study the effect of water hardness and builders sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on detergency at 30 °C at a total active concentration of 0.3%. This formulation is in the Winsor Type III microemulsion regime. The microemulsion-based formulation resulted in better detergency than a leading commercial liquid laundry detergent at all concentrations up to 0.5% actives. The microemulsion-based formulation showed a plateau in detergency at >80% oil removal above 0.1% actives. The total oil removal decreased with increasing water hardness while the interfacial tension increased. When hard water was used in laundering, the total oil removal improved with increasing concentrations of STPP or EDTA up to stoichiometric levels, with STPP being slightly more effective than EDTA on a molar basis. Even high builder concentration could not improve hard water detergency to that of soft water. A significant fraction of oil removal occurred in the rinse steps vs. the wash step. Increasing water hardness reduced this fractional oil removal in the rinse steps, but it was still over half of total oil removal at 1,000 ppm water hardness.

Decolorization of Sapindus Pericarp Extract by Hydrogen Peroxide and a Comparison of Basic Characteristics Before and After Decolorization

The saponins from the pericarps of Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn. (Sapindaceae) are attracting more and more attention because of their antimicrobial activity and their ability to act as a natural surfactant. However, the color of Sapindus pericarp extract is dark brown, which limits its application in some products. The present study aims to improve the color by adding hydrogen peroxide. An orthogonal L₉ (3)⁴ test design was applied to optimize the decolorization parameters, including the amount of added hydrogen peroxide, time, temperature and pH. The extent of decolorization was up to 89.5 % below 80 °C within 80 min, using 2.5 % hydrogen peroxide at pH 6. The characteristics of Sapindus pericarp extract before and after bleaching were compared, including the antimicrobial and foaming performance, surface activities and detergency properties. There was no significant difference in either the diameters of the inhibition zone or the minimum inhibitory concentration against Candida albicans, Trichophyton rubrum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P < 0.05), while these parameters for C. albicans, T. rubrum and P. aeruginosa for the sample after decolorization were 22.33, 25.00, 15.33 mm and 0.91, 0.91, 13.03 mg/mL, respectively. The foamability of the Sapindus pericarp extract after decolorization was somewhat enhanced and the foam stability reduced (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in values of the critical micelle concentration of the pericarp extract before and after decolorization. The detergency also remained at the same level. Our results show that the properties of the decolorized Sapindus pericarp extract were largely unchanged. This suggests that further development is worthwhile.
