SummaryAn identification scheme for surface‐active agents is given which enables these agents or their mixtures to be detected in commercial products. Use is made of the acid resistance of the various types, which make it possible to separate the different compounds step by step from the mixture.An important feature of the method is that it can be used also for quantitative analyses by weighing the extraction residues obtained and determining their physical and chemical constants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
