Do you know the working principle of sodium tripolyphosphate in industrial oil pollution cleaning?

Cleaning agents can be divided into industrial cleaning agents and civil cleaning agents according to their uses. Industrial cleaning agent can quickly decompose the oil and heavy oil stains on the mechanical surface. Even the oil stains on the ground can be cleaned, and the effect is still obvious. Sodium tripolyphosphate is an excellent additive commonly seen in industrial and civil cleaning agents, but do you know the working principle of sodium tripolyphosphate in industrial oil pollution cleaning?


Anyone who knows about chemical additives knows that sodium tripolyphosphate is an indispensable excellent additive in detergents, and the content of most detergents is 10~50%; It can play a good synergistic effect with sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate and improve the cleaning effect of sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate. It is a large amount of inorganic additives used in industrial cleaning agents.


The main functions of sodium tripolyphosphate as a detergent assistant can be summarized as follows:

1. Chelating effect on metal ions: daily washing water generally contains hardening metal ions (mainly Ca2+, Mg2+). In the washing process, they will form insoluble metal salts with the active substances in soap or detergent, which not only increases the consumption of detergent, but also makes the washed fabric have an unpleasant dark gray. Sodium tripolyphosphate has excellent properties of chelating and hardening metal ions, thus eliminating the adverse effects of these metal ions.

2. Improve the function of gel solubility, emulsification and dispersion: dirt often contains human secretions (mainly protein and fatty substances) or industrial oil, as well as sand and dust from the outside. However, sodium tripolyphosphate has the effect of swelling and solubilization on protein and has the effect of gelation; It can promote emulsification of fatty substances; It can disperse and suspend solid particles.

3. Buffer effect: sodium tripolyphosphate has a large alkaline buffer effect, keeping the PH value of the washing solution around 9.4, which is conducive to the removal of acid dirt.

4. Function of preventing caking: powdered synthetic detergent is hygroscopic. If it is stored in a place with high humidity, caking will occur. Agglomerated detergent is extremely inconvenient to use. However, the hexahydrate formed by sodium tripolyphosphate after absorbing water has a dry characteristic. When there is a large amount of sodium tripolyphosphate in the detergent formula, it can prevent caking caused by moisture absorption and keep the dry and granular shape of synthetic detergent.


Sodium tripolyphosphate is also a surfactant. It can improve the wetting ability and decontamination ability of the cleaning agent by reducing the surface tension of oil and water, and increase the emulsification degree of oil.


Heavy oil pollution cleaning in industrial oil pollution cleaning has always been a difficult problem in industrial cleaning. Some mechanical equipment in the factory need to be used as cleaning agent. The addition of sodium tripolyphosphate can be applied to a variety of surface treatment solutions, which is environmentally friendly and safe.
