Detergents ingredients

Mono ethanol amine (MEA). A solvent used to dissolve other laundry detergent ingredients. It also lowers the freezing point of liquid laundry products to allow them to be transported in cold weather. 

Mannheim (1) A process for making hydrochloric acid by roasting sulfuric acid and sodium chloride together in a closed cast iron furnace equipped with a plough. The byproduct sodium sulfate, known as salt cake, may be reciystallized after neutralization and filtration, and used as a detergent ingredient. A potassium variant is used in those locations where native potassium chloride can be found.

Like all other detergent ingredients, fabric softener actives are discharged into sewers and possibly end up in the environment. Their effect on aquatic or terrestrial organisms depends on their concentration and toxicity [6],... 

Soluble silicates have been widely used in laundry detergents for many years. A comprehensive review of their properties and their utility as detergent ingredients up to 1952 can be found in the last ACS Monograph on soluble silicates ( 1). 

In a similar vein, Warren ( ) illustrates the often complex interactions between detergent ingredients, temperature, soil, etc., which must be considered for satisfactory cleaning. He specifically examines the effect of various detergent formulations (and silicates) on soil removal and the prevention of soil redepositon in the presence of carboxymethylcellulose ( 5), a widely used anti-redeposition agent.

Inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry allows the determination of anionic surfactants (LAS and AS) and inorganic compounds (phosphate, silicate, zeolite, sulfate). Other techniques, such as X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction, have been used for the qualitative analysis of inorganic detergents. For surface analysis, optical light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy characterize particles, deposition of surfactant, or other detergent ingredients on fabric.
