Are bar soaps phosphorus free?

It is important to realize that few soaps available today are actually soap. Some are detergents rather than soaps. Soaps generally are phosphate free while detergents contain phosphorous as a phosphate. The phosphate is present to improve cleaning ability and prevent the problems associated with "soap scum" Phosphates were determined to be a cause of eutrophication (enrichment) of water with associated algae growth. As a result most countries banned or reduced the acceptable phosphate levels in detergent based soaps. The algae can make the wear taste bad. In North America the major source of phosphate waste water from domestic sources is dishwasher detergent.

How are detergent soaps prepared in industries?

There are two distinct types. Soaps are made by reacting long chain fatty acids, often from natural products like animal fats or plant oils, with a strong alkali, usually sodium hydroxide. The reaction is in a 1:1 molar ratio. A typical process would have a stirred reaction vessel containing sodium hydroxide solution and the fatty acid is added slowly at a controlled temperature until the correct pH is reached. The soap is then isolated from the reaction mixture. The phrase detergent is often used for a product made by reacting a tertiary amine or tertiary phosphine with an alkyl halide. These quaternary ammonium salts (or quaternary phosphonium salts) are isolated as concentrated solutions in water. Both soaps and detergents have similar properties in that they act as emulsifiers, binding grease and oil to water in emulsions. The main difference is in pH, soaps are alkaline whereas "quats" are acidic. In industry and commercially, the term detergent is often used to include both soaps and "Quats".


Similarity between soaps and detergents?

Soaps and detergents may contain the same ingredients, for example fats. Both items can be used for cleaning and laundering purposes. Detergent is simply soap with other things added, like bleach.
