Detergent Preparation Process
- Sodium alkyl sulphate detergents can be prepared through a neutralisation reaction between an alkyl sulphonic acid with a sodium hydroxide solution
- The sodium dodecyl sulphate detergent is prepared through a neutralisation reaction between the dodecyl sulphonic acid and a sodium hydroxide solution

The Cleansing Action of Detergent
- The cleansing action of detergent and soap is fundamentally the same
- When a detergent dissolves in water, its molecule will dissociate to form sodium (or potassium) ion and detergent ion ( detergent anion )
- The detergent ion (detergent anion ) such as R - O - SO3- can be represented in a simplified form such as structure below :
