Determination of Zeolite in Detergent
Zeolites, which started to be used in industrial areas in the 1940s, act as a kind of filter and remove ions, positively charged atoms and other components from the environment. Zeolites are aqueous minerals containing aluminum, silicon and oxygen. Zeolite, also known as Zeolite A, Zeolite NaA or Zeolite 4A, is used instead of phosphates in the detergent industry.The main purpose of using zeolites in detergents is to eliminate the negative effects of phosphate by using it instead of phosphate. Zeolites are substances that do not have a toxic or irritating effect and have no adverse effects on aquatic life such as phosphates.
The use of zeolites is preferred because they are beneficial for living things and the environment. It has been determined that phosphate-based detergents form sediment in the sewage system. By using zeolite in detergents, it is aimed to prevent the formation of deposits. Zeolites other than detergents; It is also used in different fields such as pollution control, energy, agriculture-livestock, mining-metallurgy.
