Contents • Soap • Raw materials • Manufacture • Detergents • Raw materials • Manufacture • Biological degradation of detergents • Glycerin
1. Soap • Sodium/potassium salts of variety of fatty acid • Oleic • Stearic • Palmitic • Lauric • Myristic • Sponification Sponification
Soap 1. Carboxylate end of molecule • Hydrophilic (water-loving) 2. Hydrocarbon chain • Hydrophobic (water-hating) • Soap differs from detergents in its action in hard water Micelle 2RCOONa (aq) + Ca2+[RCOO] Ca(s) + 2Na+(aq) soaphard waterInsoluble compound
Micelle # Liquid droplet covered soap or detergent molecules
Cleaning Action of Soap Without soap With soap
Raw Materials • Fatty acid: triglycerides • Builder and additive: NaOH Hydrolysis of triglyceride at 260-265 ºC
Soap Manufacture Sponfication Amalgamator -Fragrance -Color -Vitamin -Etc. Vacuum spraying Glyceride 1 2 Neat soap 3 Dry soap pellets Rolling mills 4 Soap noodle Soap 5 Extrude Cut Stamp
Soap Manufacture • Step1: Sponification • Oil and fat are heated • Liquid sodium/ potassium salt (neat soap) • By- product (glycerine) • Step2: Vacuum spray drying • Drying soap to pellet • Step3: Soap finishing line • Drying soap pellet to bar • Added fragrance, vitamin and color
Soap Manufacture • Step4: Homogenized and refined • Step5: Stamp in bar Soap properties -Fat and oils -Alkali employed Hard soap (bar soap): sodium hydroxide Liquid soap: potassium hydroxide
NaOH solution Oil mix Glycerine Half spent lye Saponification vessel Spent lye Glycerine recovery Static separator Crud soap Fresh lye Soap washing Fresh lye Washed soap Fresh lye Centrifuge
Wet soap Coconut oil or some other weak acids Soap neutralisation Preservatives Soap drying Soap chips Plodder worms Soap noodles
2. Detergents • Cleansing materials • Surface active in aqueous solution • Surfactant • Surfactant with carboxyl, sulfate, sulfonate groups are used as sodium or potassium salts Oil- soluble part organic group (Usually the equivalent of an 8 to 18 carbon hydrocarbon) Water soluble part -COO-Na+ -SO4-Na+ -SO3-Na+ -OH Hydrophile Hydroprobe Surfactant molecule
Surfactant Molecule in Water As same as Soap
Groups of Surfactant Anionic Cationic • Anionic Alkylbenzenesulfonate Hexadecyltrimethylammonium Bromide (HDPBr)
Raw Materials #1.Fatty acid: triglycerides Triglyceride+H2 Glycerol +Fatty alcohol #2. Alkyl Benzene Pressure Catalyst CH2=CH2 Benzene Linear alkyl benzene
Raw Materials #3. Builder boost detergent power :70-80% of detergents Sodium tripolyphosphate Sodium metaphosphate Phosphate Builder • Reduce water hardness • Reduce re-deposition of soil from wash water on fabric
Detergent Manufacture #1 Sulfation and/or sulfonation Alkyl benzene Alkyl benzene sulfonate Oleum
Detergent Manufacture #2 Neutralization Sulfonation Sulfation Neutralization
Detergent Manufacture Liquid Ingredients Dry Ingredients 3 4 Heat Sensing Ingredients Crutcher Detergent Spray Drying 1 2
Biological Degradation of Detergents Degradation by microbial = biodegradability Non linear alkyl benzene sulfonate • Lower biodegradability • Lower cost Linear alkyl benzene sulfonate • Higher biodegradability • More expensive
3. Glycerin • Glycerine or Glycerol • Clear, sweet, odorless • Occur in triglyceride • Using • Cosmetics • Pharmaceutical • Food • 2 types • Natural glycerin: oil, fat • By product of soup production • Synthetic glycerin: petroleum
Crude Glycerin Settling Tank Fat skimming Condensers Fresh Tank Crude Glycerin (78% glycerol) Glycerin Still Still Feed Tank Evaporators Heat Exchanger Product Tanks Filter Refined glycerin (95-99% glycerol) Natural glycerin Bleaching Tank 27 HG= high gravity; YD = yellow distilled
+H2O2 Synthetic glycerin Acetone Isopropyl alcohol Glyceroldehyde H2 O2 H2O NaOH HOCl Glycerol NaOH Allyl chloride Propylene Cl2 H2O H2O HOCl NaOH NaOH Glycerol dichlorohydrin Glycidol NaOH Epichlorohydrin
Soap vs. Detergents Hard water contains minerals w/ions like Ca2+, Mg2+, and Fe3+ that replace Na1+ at polar end of soap molecule. Soap is changed into an insoluble precipitate (i.e., soap scum).
