Detergents sustainable applications

The book explores various examples of these important materials, including perovskites, zeolites, mesoporous molecular sieves, silica, alumina, active carbons, carbon nanotubes, titanium dioxide, magnesium oxide, clays, pillared clays, hydrotalcites, alkali metal titanates, titanium silicates, polymers, and coordination polymers. It shows how the materials are used in adsorption, ion conduction, ion exchange, gas separation, membrane reactors, catalysts, catalysts supports, sensors, pollution abatement, detergency, animal nourishment, agriculture, and sustainable energy applications. 

All of the above, particularly those parameters or factors that affect surfactant properties, which make up 10-30% of detergent formulations, as well as sustainability and environment-related properties of the formulation components [7,8], are expected to play a key role in their application. Consequently, the challenge ahead is not only to formulate concentrated cleaners and surfactant-based detergents but also to ensure the providing of environmentally friendly technologies that deliver the benefits customers have come to expect at a cost they are willing to pay while in compliance with sustainability.
