MANUFACTURING AND PROCESSING OF NONIONIC SURFACTANTS DERIVED FROM NATIVE RESOURCES
Keywords:
Nonionic surfactants, Indigenous resources, Sustainable synthesis, Ethoxylation, Glycosylation, Renewable raw materials,Abstract
It discusses various synthesis methods including ethoxylation and glycosylation, as well as processing techniques from raw material extraction to product formulation. Emphasizing sustainability, biodegradability, and economic benefits, the article highlights the potential of locally sourced renewable materials to replace petrochemical-based surfactants. Challenges and future prospects in optimizing production processes and scaling up are also addressed, underlining the role of green chemistry and biotechnology in advancing eco-friendly surfactant manufacturing.
