Description

A METHOD TO PREPARE BIODEGRADABLE CLEANING COMPOSITION
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to a method of preparing a cleaning composition, and more particularly to a method of preparing biodegradable cleaning solution.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Detergents are used as cleaning agents worldwide. Their usage in such large quantities lead to a lot of waste further leading to the environmental pollution.
In this regard, many studies have been conducted over the last three decades encompassing treatment, alternatives to non-biodegradable detergents, and their environmental impact. It has been found that although certain detergents may not be directly toxic, when their concentrations are high in soil, they can act as agents to release toxic pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Further, detergents can pass into wastewater treatment plants and hamper their performance. Detergents are an essential part of human life and are used for different hygienic purposes. Laundry detergent may smell like morning dew but comprises of some very strong chemicals to get rid of the stains and dirt. People experience adverse skin reactions to the ingredients present in standard detergents on a regular basis. Laundry detergents can trigger a condition called contact dermatitis, which results in a red, itchy rash that may be widespread or confined to specific areas like the armpits and groin. Allergies or sensitivities to laundry detergent can develop the first time a person is exposed or after repeated exposures. In a report by NationalEczema.org, 1 in 10 individuals will develop eczema during their lifetime and prevalence peaking in childhood. Furthermore, SLS/SLES is a known skin irritant that is commonly used as a main surfactant in home detergents.
The detergents available in the prior arts does not support the absence of SLES/SLS, formaldehyde, phosphates, EDTA, parabens, phthalates, and CDE/betaine in the formulation.

In another embodiment, the dispersant agent in the method (200) to obtain a biodegradable cleaning mixture is selected from a group comprising acrylic acid derivatives.
In another embodiment, the pH adjuster in the method (200) to obtain a biodegradable cleaning mixture is selected from a group comprising citric acid, potassium citrate, sodium citrate or a combination thereof.
In another embodiment, oxidizing agents in the method (200) are selected from a group comprising sodium percarbonate, hydrogen peroxide, enzymes, or a combination thereof.
In another embodiment, bleach activator in the method (200) are selected from a group comprising decanoyloxybenzoic acid, TAED, or a combination thereof.
In another embodiment, surfactant in the method (200) to obtain a biodegradable cleaning mixture is selected from a group comprising non-ionic alkyl polyglucosides, anionic sulphonated methyl esters or a combination thereof.
In another embodiment, all the components comprising the biodegradable cleaning mixture obtained from the method (200) are biodegradable, food grade, and /or cosmetic grade. In yet another embodiment, the biodegradable cleaning mixture obtained from the method (200) excludes parabens, phthalates, phosphates, and sodium laureth sulphate.
In yet another embodiment, the present invention provides a biodegradable cleaning composition selected from the group consisting of solution, a powder mixture, a gel composition, a solid block composition, a tablet composition, an aerosol composition, a liquid detergent, a dishwashing liquid, a surface cleaner, a multipurpose cleaning liquid, a household cleaning liquid, a detergent pod. In another embodiment, said biodegradable cleaning composition of the present invention is for use as spray, for use as a surface sterilizer, or for use in wet wipes for non-living objects.
EXAMPLES Example 1 : The biodegradable detergent was prepared using the components as below:
Figure imgf000008_0001
The detergent was prepared by admixing a 0.3 % of thickener, 3 % of a humectant, 3.5 % dispersant polymer, and 12 % of surfactant and 0.3% of preservative in 1000 ml volume to obtain a solution. The same was followed by adding a pH adjuster to adjust the pH in the range of 4 to 6 to obtain the biodegradable cleaning solution.
Example 2: The biodegradability test OECD 301 D (closed bottle) carried out for the biodegradable cleaning solution and the results thereof, according to an exemplary embodiment herein:
Formula for calculating Ready Biodegradability (%) = (BOD of sample I COD of sample) x 100
{standard parameters- Sample is considered to be biodegradable if it achieves < 60 % in 28 days} Table 2:
Figure imgf000009_0001
Results- The prepared detergent was 95.5% biodegradable in 28 days, hence eco-friendly in nature.
Example 3: In an example provided, a spectral analysis was conducted to compare a standard sodium lauryl sulphate with the biodegradable cleaning solution. The result of said spectral analysis conducted is shown in FIG.2 of the drawings wherein it has been observed that the prepared detergent achieved only 31 .69% similarity with Sodium Laureth Sulfate standard, thereby confirming that the prepared sample detergent of the present invention does not contain SLES.
Figure imgf000009_0002
This testing was done using MS1079:1987 method; using Hyamine solution to titrate and determine SLES content. Example 4: High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and OF063 method and results thereof to test for the absence of parabens, phosphates, and phthalates from the biological cleaning solution, according to an exemplary embodiment herein.
Figure imgf000010_0001
Results: Presence of parabens and phthalates were found to be lower than Limit of Reporting (LOR) thus was considered as Not Detected (ND), therefore concluded to be absent from the prepared detergent. Only traces of phosphate were detected, signifying that no additional phosphates were present in the prepared detergent sample.
While the disclosure has been presented with respect to certain specific embodiments, it will be appreciated that many modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. It is intended, therefore, by the appended claims to cover all such modifications and changes as fall within the true spirit and scope of the disclosure.
