Abstract

Surfactants are organic compounds possessing short- and long-chain fatty acids, which are amphiphilic in nature, i.e. both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. These surfactant molecules orient themselves to show their surface active. The typical structure of a surfactant with polar head and non-polar tail is shown in Fig. 2.1. In the detergent industry, the surfactants are said to produce micelle structure in order to present effective cleaning in detergent industry.
