Composite Glass Composition for Surfactant-Free Alkaline Cleaning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional synthetic detergents cause environmental pollution due to insoluble surfactants and have limitations in removing oil-based contaminants, while existing washing and cleaning methods consume large amounts of water.
Innovation Solution
A composite glass composition containing a silicate-based glass composition with an alkali oxide is used to ionize water into alkaline water, replacing surfactants, and is mixed with a bleaching agent to enhance cleaning performance and prevent environmental pollution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional synthetic detergent is used for washing and cleaning, then washing performance is achieved, but environmental pollution occurs due to insoluble surfactants causing eutrophication
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the harmful surfactant component from conventional detergents, replacing it with a silicate-based glass composition that ionizes water to produce alkaline water for cleaning. This extraction eliminates the source of eutrophication while maintaining washing functionality through alternative chemistry.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the chemical parameters of the cleaning system by using silicate-based glass composition that ionizes water to increase alkalinity. This parameter change from surfactant-based cleaning to alkaline water-based cleaning resolves the contradiction by maintaining cleaning effectiveness while eliminating harmful substances.
2Reliability
If conventional synthetic detergent is used to remove oil-based contaminants, then cleaning effect is achieved, but large amount of water is consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical parameters of water by using silicate-based glass composition to ionize water and increase alkalinity. This parameter change enables effective removal of oil-based contaminants with reduced water consumption by enhancing the cleaning power of the water itself rather than relying on large volumes of surfactant solutions.
3Reliability
If surfactant-based detergent is used for washing, then dirt and contaminants are removed, but pH neutralization is not achieved in acidic wastewater
Solution Approach 1:
The silicate-based glass composition serves multiple functions: it ionizes water to produce alkaline water for dirt removal, and simultaneously neutralizes acidic wastewater. This multi-functionality resolves the contradiction by combining cleaning and pH balancing into a single mechanism, eliminating the need for separate surfactant and pH adjustment systems.

AI summary
Disclosed are a composite glass composition for washing and cleaning and a method for producing composite glass powder using the same, in which a silicate-based glass composition containing an alkali oxide for activating water into alkaline water and a bleaching agent having bleaching performance are mixed or coated. Accordingly, since the silicate-based glass composition containing an alkali oxide can ionize water in place of a surfactant contained in existing synthetic detergents, washing and cleaning capacity equivalent to or greater than existing synthetic detergents can be secured with alkaline water ionized from water.
