In paper industry about 8-10 tonnes of black liquor effluent is generated per tonne of finished paper produced. Here an attempt was made to develop a floor cleanser composition based on HCL treated black liquor, SLS, SLES and polymeric surfactants.
In paper industry about 8-10 tonnes of black liquor effluent is generated per tonne of finished paper produced. Here an attempt was made to develop a floor cleanser composition based on HCL treated black liquor, SLS, SLES and polymeric surfactants. Polymeric surfactants are prepared using a novel alkyd resin with short oil length (20%) using chain stopper. None of the ingredient used in formulations are petroleum based and hence environmentally friendly. The physicochemical properties of cleanser have been studied and compared with commercial sample. The cost of the present product is less than the conventional product.
Key words: Alkyd resin, black liquor, floor cleanser, polymeric surfactant.
