Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that microemulsions exhibiting stability in a very narrow temperature range tend to become unstable under low temperature and high temperature conditions often encountered when shipping product or storing product in a warehouse.SOLUTION: The invention relates to microemulsion compositions containing water, a mixture of nonionic surfactants, and oil. The microemulsion provides for the removal of hydrophobic particularly oily soils from a variety of surfaces. The compositions can be used for cleaning hard surfaces and the laundry, hand washing, and car washing. Typical hydrophobic soils are oily soils derived from petroleum oils or natural fats and oils also containing a significant proportion of particulate soils such as carbon, common dirt and other non-water-soluble typically hydrophobic soil particulate. The microemulsion composition can include a separating medium such as an amphoteric surfactant for controlling the conditions under which the microemulsion is separated.

Abstract:
Improved separation of emulsified hydrophobic organic soils can be obtained from aqueous effluents using an amphoteric carboxylate surfactant material in combination with cationic destabilizer or flocculent materials. Such a treatment in combination with an acidic pH adjustment causes the rapid separation of hydrophobic organic soils from the aqueous stream. The treated aqueous stream is environmentally compatible. Improved laundry detergents comprising an organic amphoteric carboxylate surfactant and selected nonionic surfactants provide both cleaning for fiber and fabric containing items soiled with substantial quantities of hydrophobic soil. The pH of an effluent generated in such cleaning processes can be adjusted to an acid pH and treated with a cationic material causing a break that permits rapid and substantially complete separation of the hydrophobic organic soils from the effluent. Residual concentrations of organic soil in effluent water can be less than 250 ppm and can be as low as 10 ppm.
