3RD LONG QUIZ Flashcards
It evolved from crude mixtures of alkaline and fatty material. It is natural or synthetic substance that has been used for centuries as a cleansing agent.
Soap
Synthetic cleaning agents that are designed to remove dirt
and stains from various surfaces, including clothing, dishes, and household surfaces.
DETERGENTS
Spherical clusters that are formed when detergent molecules
gather
Micelles
Dyes are dissolved inside the micelle when reacted with
detergent.
Solubilization
6 Raw Materials of Detergents
- SURFACTANTS
- STRAIGHT-CHAIN ALKYLBENZENE
- FATTY ACIDS AND ALCOHOLS
- SUDS REGULATORS
- BUILDERS
- ADDITIVES
Carry out the primary cleansing and lathering while
lowering surface tension.
SURFACTANTS
Cleaning Procedures of Surfactants:
● Initially, the cleaning procedure starts with wetting the dirt
and the surface of the clothes.
● Then it is followed by the removal of dirt from the surface.
● Lastly, the dirt is maintained in suspension. Surfactant
molecules form micelles, and when paired with the
mechanical agitation of the washing machine, it allows a
soap or detergent to remove solids, suspend them, and
prevent them from re-depositing on clothing.
phenyl-substituted n-alkanes of 11 to 14 carbon
atoms
STRAIGHT-CHAIN ALKYLBENZENES
mainly consumed as free acids and salts in
detergents and soaps
FATTY ACIDS AND ALCOHOLS
ALFOL PROCESS
● First step- production of the compound aluminum triethyl by the reaction of hydrogen, ethylene, and hydrogen metal under high pressure.
● This compound is then polymerized with ethylene to form
aluminum alkyl.
● The resulting product is then oxidized with air to form
aluminum alkoxides.
● Purification follows and the alkoxides are hydrolyzed using
23–26% sulfuric acid to yield primary, crude, straight-chain
alcohols.
● Lastly, they are fractionated, neutralized with caustic, and rinsed with water
perform an effective cleaning task in a washing
machine
SUDS REGULATORS
- can increase detergent power
- go beyond simple water softeners that trap calcium and magnesium ions that cause water to harden
BUILDERS
- Dishes, utensils, and washer parts made of metal are shielded from corrosion with corrosion inhibitors such sodium silicate.
- Fluorescent dyes are used as fabric brighteners because they can convert ultraviolet light to visible light, giving the appearance of brighter materials.
ADDITIVES
2 Manufacturing Process of Detergents
a.Sulfonation-sulfation
b.Neutralization
Sulfonation-sulfation Manufacturing Process of Detergents
- The alkylbenzene is continually introduced into the
sulfonator with the necessary amount of oleum. - Then, fatty tallow alcohol and more oleum are also
introduced into the sulfonated mixture. - All of these are pumped into the sulfater at a temperature
between 50 and 55 °C, producing a mixture of surfactants.
Neutralization Manufacturing Process of Detergents
- To keep the surfactant slurry fluid, the sulfonated-sulfated
product is neutralized with NaOH solution at a regulated
temperature. - This mixture is then pumped to an upper story, where it is
blasted against the hot air from the furnace in the
24-meter-high spray tower at high pressure. - By using an air lift to move the dried granules to an upper
story once more, they are cooled from 115°C and stabilized. - The grains are screened, scented, and packaged after being
separated in a cyclone.
Comprises the sodium or potassium salts of various fatty
acids, but chiefly of oleic, stearic, palmitic, lauric, and
myristic acid.
SOAPS
the basic chemical reaction in the soap
making process
SAPONIFICATION
2 Parts of the Structure of Soaps
● Long hydrocarbon tail -hydrophobic that binds with grease
and oil
● Smaller carboxylate head- hydrophilic which binds with water
TRUE OR FALSE:
Soaps form insoluble compounds when reacted with hard water ions. These compounds precipitate out and result in reduced foam and ineffective cleaning action of soaps.
TRUE
TRUE OR FALSE:
Soaps can be used in acidic solutions as the higher
concentration of hydrogen ions can convert the hydrophilic
carboxylate head into a fatty acid which decreases the
effectiveness of soap in acidic solutions.
FALSE
Soaps can’t be used in acidic solutions as the higher
concentration of hydrogen ions can convert the hydrophilic
carboxylate head into a fatty acid which decreases the
effectiveness of soap in acidic solutions.
TRUE OR FALSE:
Soaps can’t be used in hard water because calcium
and magnesium ions will react with soap molecules to form
a precipitate called scum. These are insoluble pieces of solid
that are easily formed and seen when a person uses soap
with hard water
TRUE
