Determination of Zeolite in Detergent

A builder for detergents, zeolites are special additives such as surfactants, water softeners, bleaches and enzymes, which are essential components of most detergents today. Surfactants remove dirt from the fiber, but their effectiveness is impaired to some extent by hard water. The important task of builders is to soften the water and thereby increase the effectiveness of surfactants. One way to soften water is by ion exchange with zeolites.

Natural zeolites are a group of more than forty minerals. Zeolites, which are a raw material that has been used in detergent production in recent years, are chemically known as aqueous alumino silicates. Zeolite minerals are increasingly used in pollution control with their ion exchange and adsorption properties.

Some countries restrict the use of phosphate in detergents on the grounds that it causes environmental pollution. Therefore, synthetic zeolites have been used as detergent additives instead of phosphates recently.

A method has been developed for the determination of zeolite in advanced laboratories, detergent products and raw materials by wavelength dispersion X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. Other techniques such as titration, gravimetry, and flame atomic absorption spectrometry are also used to determine zeolite. No health risks associated with zeolite have been identified in clinical studies.

In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. Among the numerous tests carried out in this context, zeol in detergentdog determination services are also available.
