Abstract

The effects of water hardness on textile detergency in aqueous linear dodecylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) solutions were examined under various washing conditions. Plain-woven and towel cotton fabrics and plain-woven polyester fabric were soiled with a mixture of carbon black/oleic acid. The soiled fabrics were shake-washed in the LAS solution together with the original unsoiled fabrics. Surface reflectance measurements revealed that the soil removal and redeposition decreased and increased, respectively, with increasing water hardness. The identity of the mineral species (calcium or magnesium ions) in the hard water had no notable effect on the detergency. The addition of significant amounts of extra LAS did not fully compensate the reduction in detergency in hard water. Addition of softening agents and an alkali builder to the hard water limited the reduction in detergency, but the detergency was still lower than that in the absence of hardness salts. Moreover, a high wash temperature and repeated rinse procedure did not prevent the reduction in detergency in hard water. Finally, a washing test was carried out in hard water under the conditions considered to be effective for improving the detergent quality in hard water, based on the experimental results. The LAS detergency toward the cotton fabrics under these conditions was still poorer than that in the absence of hardness salts. We concluded that using soft wash water is the best choice for maximizing the cleaning power of detergents.

Kurzfassung

Der Einfluss der Wasserhärte auf die Reinigung von Textilien in wässrigen Lösungen mit linearen Dodecylbenzensulfonat (LAS) wurden unter verschiedenen Waschbedingungen untersucht. Baumwollgewebe, Baumwollhandtücher und Polyestergewebe wurden mit einer Mischung aus Ruß und Ölsäure angeschmutzt. Die angeschmutzten Gewebe wurden in der LAS-Lösung zusammen mit den ursprünglichen, nicht angeschmutzten Geweben in einem Schüttelverfahren gewaschen. Messungen der Oberflächenreflexion zeigten, dass die Schmutzentfernung und die Schmutzredeposition mit zunehmender Wasserhärte ab bzw. zunahm. Die Art der mineralischen Spezies (Kalzium- oder Magnesiumionen) im harten Wasser hatte keine bemerkenswerte Wirkung auf die Waschkraft. Die zusätzliche Zugabe von signifikanten Mengen an LAS kompensierte die Verringerung der Waschkraft in hartem Wasser nicht vollständig. Die Zugabe von Weichmachern und einem Alkali-Builder zum harten Wasser begrenzte die Verringerung der Waschkraft, aber diese war noch niedriger als die in Abwesenheit der Härtesalze. Darüber hinaus verhinderte eine hohe Waschtemperatur und wiederholtes Spülen nicht die Verringerung der Waschkraft in hartem Wasser. Auf Basis der experimentellen Ergebnisse wurde schließlich ein Waschversuch in hartem Wasser unter den Bedingungen durchgeführt, die zur Verbesserung der Waschmittelqualität in hartem Wasser als effektiv angesehen wurden. Die Waschwirkung von LAS gegenüber den Baumwollgeweben war unter diesen Bedingungen immer noch schlechter als die in Abwesenheit von Härtesalzen. Wir haben festgestellt, dass weiches Waschwasser für die Maximierung der Waschleistung von Waschmitteln die beste Wahl ist.
