Waxes

There are animal, vegetable, mineral and synthetic waxes, depending upon the source. Animal waxed are secreted as protective coating by certain insects. Vegetable waxes are found as coatings on leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds. Mineral waxes are paraffin waxes obtained from petroleum, and such waxes are yielded by coal, peat, and lignite. Mineral waxes from petroleum are not true waxes (esters) but are so classified because of their physical characteristics.

Beeswax
This is probably the best known was. It is made from honeycombs by solvent extraction, expression, or boiling in water. Many church candles contain more than 50% of this wax.

Carnauba Wax
This wax is obtained from the carnauba palm, which grows in Brazil. The leaves are cut, dried for 3 days, and sent to the beater house. The drying loosen the wax, which can be easily beaten from the slashed leaf, and it fails to the floor where it is gathered at the end of the day and melted. Less than 1 liter of molten waxes are obtained from 19 liters of powdered wax. This is filtered through cheesecloth, allowed to harden and sold. A palm tree produce about 90 g of wax per year. This product is used as constituent of floor, automobile, and furniture polishes, and in carbon paper, candles and certain molded products.

Spermaceti
The oil removed from the head cavity, and partly the blubber of the sperm whale is in reality, a wax because of its chemical composition. Spermaceti is important for lubrication. The head oil, upon chilling and setting, is a solid wax. This constitute about 11% of the original oil and is largely cetyl palmitate. It is melted, treated with a hot, dilute caustic soda solution, washed with water, and run into molds to solidify. It is translucent, odorless, and tasteless and is used chiefly as a base for ointments. By methylating sperm oil, Archer-Daniels-Midland has obtained a low surface tension lubricant.

Ozocerite
This is the name given to certain naturally occurring mineral waxes. The ozocerite known commercially is a particular earth wax mined in eastern Europe, but important similar waxes are mined elsewhere. One variety, mined in Utah, is known as Utahwax or Utahozocerite. It can be substitute to a great extent for the other and is chiefly employed for electrical insulation waterproofing, and impregnating.

Paraffin Wax
This wax is concentrated in certain lubricating oil fractions as a result of distillation and is separated by chilling and filter pressing. Extraction of lube oil fractions with e.g. a mixture of methyl ethyl ketone and benzene, followed by distillations into narrow boiling fractions yields microcrystalline waxes.

Montan Wax
The name montan wax generally applies to the wax obtained from an bituminous wax solvent extracted from bituminous lignite or shale, but a similar wax may be obtained from peat or brown coal. Its important applications include electrical insulation polishes and pastes.

Candelilla Wax
This is the third most important US wax in tonnage and is made by boiling the stem of a plant common in Mexico and southwestern United States with a water sulfuric acid mixture and skimming off the wax which floats on the liquid. Another method of obtaining this wax is by extracting the stems with hexane and recovering the wax by distillation of the solvent.

Synthetic Wax
Various materials are used to make synthetic waxes. Carbowaxes are high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. They are useful as wax emulsifiers, as well as being waxy themselves. Higher aliphatic alcohols are used as emulsified wax substitutes. Other synthetic waxes are produced from fatty acids and amines, and chlorinated paraffin wax.

Aluminum Recycle Product

Aluminum metal often produced not from pure aluminum ore like on the process of aluminum production. Aluminum produce often from aluminum waste, and for certain aluminum alloy product sometime difficult to duplicate because this metal is composed from certain mixing that compossed from secret metal composition.

Some product immitater always produce of similar product with the same material by using of aluminum product waste. They produce the similar kind of product using the same waste of product so they can produce the similar product with adjescent quality with the original product.

Aluminum waste also used for create other kind product that very cheap, like house appliance product and motorcycle spare parts. They can produce with high benefit and they can sell their product with very cheap. For this purpose they can sell their product very fast because the price is very cheap compare with original one, even the quality is not as good as the original but the price is very cheap. This kind of product is very competitive and prefer by their customer.

Sulfur Dioxide Effect

Sulfur dioxide is discharged from cobustion coal and Industrial operation that use of sulfur for their process. Like on the production of carbon dioxide, carbon source such as coke is burned to react with sulfur. Some sulful also will react with oxygen to be sulfur dioxide.

Sulfur dioxide gas that flow out to the atmosphere then poisonous to the animal and plant. Sulfur dioxide on atmosphere can react with oxygen on the air to be a sulfur trioxide that very acid chemicals. This chemical than react with water to be sulfuric acid and will down when it rain. The rain that contaminated with sulfuric acid can say as acid rain. This water can make many plant die and will contaminated the lagoon and river that can make fish die.

Some plant have waste treatment to process this flue gas into a friendly gas before they through away to the atmosphere, but on certain time this waste gas treatment can stop and will flow out dangerous gas to the atmosphere. If this gas then go to the municipal can make them being poisonous.

Soap Making

Soap making is as simple as you learn from book or from article that writen on this internet. Many blogger write and copy the contain from other blog and just write again the contain. Actually many parameter should be intensed on soap making like you can see on this article of soap making.

Soap making need litle high base chemistry knowledge in order can compete with other soap maker. Many ingredients are mixed to the basic formula that have goal to create better or lower price of the chemical used in totally.

Soap making need more modification and need chemicals knowledge rather complicated, either cause of many kind of soap proposed or cause of many kind of chemical can be added to the base soap formula. The chemical composition of every soap industry can different but the base formula is the same.

People may just differ the kind of soap from their fragrance, but basically are the same. Detergent soap usually less to modificate because the price usually low and people don't need vary for this kind of soap, but beauty soap and bath soap can vary and the price also vary. Industry can take more benefit from bath soap or beauty soap and also from healthy soap that sometime contain sulfur.
