From the research I have done, I have discovered that most dishwasher detergents have between 10-25% phosphate. This would mean adding between 1/2 and 1 Tablespoon of trisodium phosphate (TSP) to 1/4 cup of dishwasher detergent. If you are hand-washing your dishes, I would use the lower amount AND wear gloves so as not to damage your skin. TSP is caustic (but not as bad as something like lye). You can also add TSP to laundry detergent at the lower levels, 1/2 tbsp per 1/4 cup of detergent. Search the web for trisodium phosphate, there's about a million other uses!

Can you add fruit to melt and pour soap?

Making Soap Bars from Melt & Pour Base you can add almost anything to it. You would have to remember that if you were to add fresh fruit, it may turn rancid in the soap unless you add a preservative. My suggestion would be to try to use dried fruit since they would inevitably have a preservative on them (unless you have dried it yourself). Soft fruit like banana may not be ideal unless you pulp it add preservative and blend that into your melted soap base. You must also bear in mind that if you wish to sell the soap with fruit bits in it that it would also look appealing and smell great. Nobody wants to wash their hands or bodies with soap that looks or feels yucky!


How much trisodium phosphate should you mix with laundry detergent?

I've researched it. American brands have .5% mix of phosphate, while brands in Mexico have 5-7% mix. For a mix of 1%, half a teaspoon to a cup of detergent would work. If your locality bans the sale of detergents with phospates, you can add that much to laundry detergent. A small amount should be added to dishwasher detergent.


What happens when you add NaCl salt in it's solid state to a phosphate buffer system?

When you add NaCl salt in its solid state to a phosphate buffer system, it will dissolve in the buffer solution and dissociate into Na+ and Cl- ions. The presence of NaCl may slightly affect the ionic strength of the solution, but it should not significantly alter the buffering capacity or pH of the phosphate buffer system.

How much diswasher salt should you put in your hoover dishwasher?

What on earth is dishwasher salt?!?If you mean soap, usually about a tablespoon per cup will work. That's less than the manual will suggest but it should be enough to get your dishes clean. If not, add another tablespoon.Some dishwashers have a salt dispenser down in the bottom of the machine. This is really nice if you live in cities with hard water. It helps keep glasses from getting cloudy. To answer the question. You can't over fill your machine. The trick for me seems to be finding the dishwasher salt.

How do you remove phosphate by chemical dosing from effluent?

One possibility would be to add potassium to the effluent. Potassium and phosphate would combine to form 'flocks' of potassium phosphate, which can be filtered out.
