Which surfactants can be used to control foam during cleaning？
Low-foam surfactants include several nonionic and amphoteric compounds with broad performance capabilities and application possibilities. It is important to note that these surfactants are not zero-foaming agents. Rather, in addition to other properties, they provide a means of controlling the am...Read more -
Why should you choose a low-foam surfactant?
When selecting surfactants for your cleaning formulations or processing applications, foam is an important attribute. For example, in manual hard-surface cleaning applications—such as vehicle care products or hand-washed dishwashing—high foam levels are often a desirable characteristic. This is b...Read more -
What are the applications of biosurfactants in environmental engineering?
Many chemically synthesized surfactants damage the ecological environment due to their poor biodegradability, toxicity, and tendency to accumulate in ecosystems. In contrast, biological surfactants—characterized by easy biodegradability and non-toxicity to ecological systems—are better suited for...Read more -
What are biosurfactants?
Biosurfactants are metabolites secreted by microorganisms during their metabolic processes under specific cultivation conditions. Compared with chemically synthesized surfactants, biosurfactants possess many unique attributes, such as structural diversity, biodegradability, broad biological activ...Read more -
What specific roles do surfactants play in various cleaning applications?
1. Application in Chelating Cleaning Chelating agents, also known as complexing agents or ligands, utilize the complexation (coordination) or chelation of various chelating agents (including complexing agents) with scaling ions to generate soluble complexes (coordination compounds) for cleaning p...Read more -
What role do surfactants play in Alkaline cleaning applications
1. General Equipment Cleaning Alkaline cleaning is a method that uses strongly alkaline chemicals as cleaning agents to loosen, emulsify, and disperse fouling inside metal equipment. It is often used as a pretreatment for acid cleaning to remove oil from the system and equipment or to convert dif...Read more -
What specific roles do surfactants play in pickling cleaning applications?
1 As Acid Mist Inhibitors During pickling, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, or nitric acid inevitably react with the metal substrate while reacting with rust and scale, generating heat and producing large amounts of acid mist. Adding surfactants to the pickling solution, due to the action of the...Read more -
What are the applications of surfactants in chemical cleaning?
During industrial production processes, various types of fouling, such as coking, oil residues, scale, sediments, and corrosive deposits, accumulate in the equipment and pipelines of production systems. These deposits often lead to equipment and pipeline failures, reduced efficiency of production...Read more -
In which areas can flotation applied?
Ore dressing is a production operation that prepares raw materials for metal smelting and the chemical industry. Froth flotation has become one of the most important methods of mineral processing. Almost all mineral resources can be separated using flotation. Flotation is currently widely applied...Read more -
What is flotation beneficiation?
Flotation, also known as froth flotation, is a mineral processing technique that separates valuable minerals from gangue minerals at the gas-liquid-solid interface by leveraging differences in the surface properties of different minerals. It is also referred to as “interfacial separation.&#...Read more -
How does the oil demulsifier work？
The mechanism of crude oil demulsifiers is based on phase inversion-reverse deformation theory. After adding the demulsifier, a phase inversion occurs, generating surfactants that produce the opposite emulsion type to that formed by the emulsifier (reverse demulsifier). ...Read more -
How should we clean oil stains from metal parts?
Prolonged use of mechanical parts and equipment will inevitably lead to oil stains and contaminants adhering to the components. Oil stains on metal parts are typically a mixture of grease, dust, rust, and other residues, which are usually difficult to dilute or dissolve ...Read more
