NEW YORK i.VEAl - Can it
be that we stand a chance against
the ravages of scientific prog
ress? A distant victory appears to be
in the making against the billow of
dirty detergent suds which rises
like an iceberg over an increas
ingly serious U.S. water crisis.
Thai victory, still in the labora
tory test stage, is a molecule no
larger than a grain of talcum pow
der but. hopefully, capable of
undoing some of the scientific
jeopardy thrown at us in the name
o! cleanliness.
Now. as far as public health
people have been able to discov.
er, used detergent suds even at
the 250,000-ton quantity we use
annually are not yet injurious
io health. But what the future
li ESS' Z-
"Something she picked up from television. Every" tima
I l: - .1 - I i,i,',nr
about mv earlv childhood!"
holds is still open la serious question.
The problem is that detergents
behave after use the same way
Ihey satisfy household needs: by
remaining fluid and suds, even in
the hardest water'areas, and seep
ing out of cesspools and through
(he ground water system and into
the public water supply.
In laboratory terms, detergents
are nard not ,!Ke ola-tasn-ioned
"soft" soap which can be
attacked, broken down and re
turned to nature by sewage-disposing
bacteria.
Two parts of detergent in one
million parts of water will foam.
Sixteen parts of detergent can be
tasted. And with the U.S. having
abandoned more than 80 per cent
of its soap in favor of detergents
in the past !0 years, it is Jittle
wonder we are in rich, luxurious
lather up to our necks.
In areas where houses have
been built too close together, used
detergent suds come foaming out
of water spigot and cesspool. !n
over-concentrated populated cen
ters, sewage disposal systems are
afroth with dirty suos. In jerry-
built apartment houses, it is Ttot
too unusual of billows to back up
manv stories from the sewer and
pour out into apartment sinks and
bathtubs.
In a nation already water-have-
not in many areas and hazardous
ly polluted m others, the synthetic
detergent suds have become one
more big headache.
But soap makers, many of
whom are in the detergent busi
ness now, see no possibility of re
turning to the old days of "soft"
animal-fat detergents.
The solution, more than likely.
depends on what chemistry can
do about rebuilding the "hard"
synthetic detergent to make it de-
gradable in sewage disposal sys
tems.
One laboratory breakthrough
has come from Un on Carbide's
Linde Division in the form of a
sieve made of aluminum, oxygen
and silicon atoms.
This aiumino - silicate sieve,
mixed with the basic detergent,
pulls out the "soft" detergent mol
ecules which can tlien be pro
cessed into a cleanser capable of
being broken dawn by bacteria
on,ce the suds have been drained
out of the house.
New developments in rebuilding
the deiergent are also being re
ported by the Johns Manvilie Co.
Meanwhile, the California Chem
ical Co., industry observers say,
has come up with a method for
dealing with the hard detergents
in sewage disposal pianis by agi
tating the water, forcing the de
tergent to froth, and then skim
ming off the dirty suds.
Industry critics, however, are
quick to point out problems in
both the sieve and the disposal
methods.
What do you do. they ask, with;
the skimmed-olf, hard suds? Re-'
circulating them in the disposal
system may get rid of some, but;
basically brings you back to where!
you started from.
And the molecular sieve meth
od, they say. may make soft!
detergent, but it aiso makes an ex
pensive one. any outsiders pa
trolling the industry say that a
new, soft, economical detergent as
good as the old is stiii quite a few
vears of hard work away.
