What else can I help you with?
Is Lauric acid put in detergents?
Yes, Lauric acid is sometimes included in detergents as a surfactant or foaming agent. It helps to promote the removal of dirt and grease from surfaces when the detergent is used for cleaning.
What acid is used in the production of petrol nylon and detergents?
The acid commonly used in the production of petrol, nylon, and detergents is sulfuric acid. In the petroleum industry, it acts as a catalyst in refining processes. For nylon production, it is involved in the synthesis of intermediates like adipic acid. In the manufacture of detergents, sulfuric acid is used to produce surfactants by reacting with fatty alcohols.
House hold acid?
ethanoic acid- vinegar citric acid in citrus fruits some powerful detergents also contain acids
Is detergent acid base or neutral?
Most detergents are slightly to moderately alkaline.
What acid is used to make ferilizers and detergents and is a flavoring agent in beverages?
Phosphoric acid is commonly used in the production of fertilizers and detergents. It is also used as a flavoring agent in some beverages, giving them a tangy taste.
What are some uses of phosphoric acid?
Phosphoic acid is used in phosphate fertilizers, agricultural feeds, waxes, polishes, soaps, and detergents.
What fatty acid is present in detergent?
Fatty acids such as lauric acid, oleic acid, and stearic acid are commonly used in detergents as surfactants to help break down oils and grease.
Where are there acid and carbonates at home?
A very common household acid is acetic acid, otherwise known as vinegar. Others may include citric acid in citrus fruits, carbonic and phosphoric acids in many soft drinks, and ascorbic acid which is also known as vitamin C. As for carbonates, Sodium Carbonate (also known as Washing Soda) is a common ingredient in detergents, especially laundry detergents.
What r industrial uses of sulphonation?
sulphonic acid is the active material for almost all synthetic detergents.
Are detergents acid or base?
Detergents can be either acidic or basic, depending on their formulation. However, most laundry detergents are slightly alkaline/basic in order to effectively clean garments by helping to break down oils and dirt.
How do you neutralize detergents from domestic grey water?
You get a water purifier or a softener. (A water softener wont "neutralize detergents from domestic grey water." Indeed, a softener will do the exact opposite since hard water neutralizes many types of detergents.) Depends on what you mean by "neutralize". If you mean make the detergent no longer function as a detergent, then depending on the type of detergent there are a couple ways. Most detergents are the conjugate base of an acid. Acidifying the solution neutralizes the base and generally significantly reduces the ability of the detergent to act as a detergent. So, simply adding acid will often "neutralize" detergents. Large amounts of vinegar, or much smaller amounts of a strong concentrated acid, can be used. Another method of neutralizing detergents is by the addition of divalent cations such as calcium++ or magnesium++. Many detergents strongly bind to these salts and, like adding acid, the resulting compound no longer acts as an effective detergent. This is why most detergents work better in "soft" water than they do in "hard" water. Hard water contains enough divalent cations to tie up the detergents molecules making the detergent must less effective.
What is orthophosphoric acid?
Orthophosphoric acid is a mineral acid with the chemical formula H3PO4. It is commonly used in industries such as food production (as a food additive), agriculture (as a fertilizer), and in the production of detergents and rust inhibitors.
