“…Subsequent addition of methyl groups produces dialkyldimethyl quaternary amines [9]. The use of ditallowdimethylammonium chloride in Europe has decreased since 1991 when it was replaced by more easily biodegradable quaternary ammonium esters [10]. The product is still widely used in the United States in various consumer products.…”

Chemical contamination can be one of the more common problems encountered when performing trace-level analysis regardless of the analytical technique. Minimizing or eliminating background interferences can be a difficult task, so knowledge of the chemical composition of these contaminants can prove invaluable when it comes to identifying the source. Once the source is identified, proper steps may be taken to reduce or eliminate it. In this study, we report the identity of some commonly seen contaminants (m/z 550.6, 522.6, and 494.6) in electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS). Through MS, tandem MS, accuratemass, and high-resolution measurements we have identified these background contaminants as being quaternary ammonium species that contain long-chain hydrocarbon groups, where m/z 550.6 is a dimethyldioctadecylammonium ion (C 18 , C 18 ) and m/z 522.6 and 494.6 are similar in nature but have shorter alkyl-chain groups. The lipophilic nature of these compounds and the fact that they have molecular weights similar to lysophospholipids make them a frequent contaminant in lipidomic studies. The likely sources of these compounds are commonly used personal and household products. (J

“…Because amide-containing cationic surfactants are rapidly biodegraded by activated sludge and can solubilize oil-soluble materials in water, they have attracted much attention as hair conditioners 46,47 . Biodegradable diethyl ester-type cationic surfactants have also been used as fabric softeners 48 . Furthermore, carbonate-containing surfactants are synthesized via a halogen-free green process and exhibit good biodegradability and hydrolytic stability 49 .…”

“…Some studies proven salt free dyeing of cellulose material using cationization of the fabric itself in order that the dye will likely be migrated to the fabric and constant with none addition of salt to the dyeing tub [16][17][18]. However, majority of the chemical substances used for introducing cationic sites in cellulose material are themselves now not secure for the environment [19]. As a consequence, this record tried to compensate the alternate-off via utilizing decrease quantity of salt with higher dye fiber fixation and slash environmental have an effect on with the aid of utilizing biodegradable salt.…”

Abstract. Reactive dyes are the perfect choice for dyeing of cellulosic fibers due to produce a wide gamut of bright colors with excellent color fastness, however environmental pollution is increasing in recent days seeing that of making use of inorganic salt and alkali. This paper offers a new avenue for eco-friendly dyeing of linen fiber by incorporating biodegradable alkaline organic salts in presence of three commercial reactive dyes and amongst them organic salt i.e. disodium maleate showed superior result in terms of color strength (K/S), dye exhaustion (%), color fastness, tensile strength and crease recovery angle parameters that were evaluated by traditional technique.
