In the detergent industry, zeolite molecular sieves have emerged as an ideal environmentally friendly detergent builder due to their unique ion exchange properties. While sodium tripolyphosphate (STP), commonly used in traditional detergents, can soften water, its phosphorus content easily leads to eutrophication of water bodies, causing severe environmental harm. As a high-quality substitute for STP, zeolite molecular sieves not only efficiently remove calcium and magnesium ions from water but also reduce the loss of surfactants. Simultaneously, they enable a green, phosphorus-free approach, contributing to sustainable development.
Zeolite molecular sieves possess a regular pore structure that allows them to selectively adsorb calcium and magnesium ions from water. Through ion exchange reactions, they soften hard water, thereby enhancing washing performance. Among them, Shanghai JOOZEO‘s 4A-type zeolite molecular sieve has become a mainstream choice for detergent builders due to its excellent calcium ion exchange capacity. Compared to traditional phosphorus-containing builders, zeolite molecular sieves are insoluble in water and do not pollute water bodies after use, making them safe and environmentally friendly.
With the global acceleration of the detergent phosphorus-free process, the application of zeolite molecular sieves is becoming increasingly widespread. They not only address the interference of hard water with washing efficiency but also reduce the waste of surfactants, providing a green solution for effective cleaning. In the future, zeolite molecular sieves will continue to drive the detergent industry toward a more environmentally friendly and efficient direction, offering consumers a healthier living experience.
