Description/Abstract:
22 AGENTS WERE TESTED SINGLY OR IN COMBINATION. COMPLEXING AGENTS ARE MOST EFFECTIVE IN REMOVING METALLIC IONS. LARGE AMOUNTS OF H20 PROVIDE GREATER POSSIBILITIES FOR FLOATING AWAY LOOSE PARTICLES AND COMPLEXED OR INACTIVATED IONS. SOAPS, CLAYS, SILICATES AD OTHER COMMERCIAL LAUNDRY MATERIALS HAVE LITTLE VALUE FOR THIS PURPOSE. COMPOUNDED AGENTS CONTAINING GLASSY PO4 SALTS, CO3 AND NH4 IONS PROVED MOST EFFECTIVE. TURCO 4182-A HAS BEEN ADOPTED IN THE PROCESS LAUNDRY.
