Nonyl phenol ethoxylates Biodegradability

These are prepared by the reaction of EO with an appropriate alkyl phenol. The most common surfactants of this type are those based on nonyl phenol they are cheap to produce but suffer from problems of biodegradability and potential toxicity (the byproduct of degradation is nonyl phenol, which is considerably toxic in fish and mammals). Despite these problems, nonyl phenol ethoxylates are still used in many industrial properties, due mainly to their advantageous properties such as... [Pg.19]

Also called nonyl phenoxy ethoxylate, or nonyl phenol. Slow to biodegrade. Nonionic surfactant. Used in dry detergents. [Pg.214]

Important classes of nonionic surfactants are aliphatic poly-ethoxylate alcohols (AEO), and octyl or nonyl phenol polyethoxylates (OPEO and NPEO). The alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO) attracted special attention due to their supposedly endocrine disrupting properties (Ch. 8.3). LC-MS analysis may also involve nonylphenolethoxycarboxylates (NPEC), biodegradation products of NPEO, and halogenated analogues, generated in chlorine disinfection treatments in drinking water production plants. [Pg.222]
