Handbook of Detergents, Part F Production

The production of detergents is a classic multididimensional systemic enterprise, operating within complex, interacting technological-economical-sociopolitical realities. An ever-changing, dynamic relationship exists, governed by the sustainability imperative, between demands, needs, cost/benefits, gains/tradeoffs, and social preferences. Part F of the Handbook of Detergents presents the state of the art concerning the industrial production of the main "players" in detergent formulation. These include surfactants, builders, auxiliaries, bleaching ingredients, chelating and redeposition agents, enzymes, and fragrances as well as the production of some key raw materials.

This sixth part of the multi-volume Handbook of Detergents focuses on the production of surfactants, builders and other key components of detergent formulations, including the various multi-dimensional aspects and implications on detergent formulations and applications domestically, institutionally, in industry and agriculture, with all the environmental consequences involved. Thus, Part F constitutes a comprehensive treatise of the multi-dimensional issues relating to this industry production technology, emphasizing the alignment of scientific knowledge and up-to-date technological and technical know-how with the relevant contemporary applied practice. An international effort and industry-academia collaboration, this volume features expert contributions, focusing on the contemporary state-of-the-art concerning the many facets of the production of detergents and surfactants. Thus, the Handbook of Detergents, Part F – Production, deals with the production of anionic, cationic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants, key builders, bleaching and whitening agents, enzymes and other components of detergent formulations in different contexts, gauges and related concerns, and discusses various technological procedures of production processes involving the components of surfactants and detergents.
