Abstract

A novel ecofriendly polymer synthesised using starch glycerol and maleic anhydride was found to be biodegradable having BOD to COD Ratio 0.6075 . After ensuring its biodegradability and HLB Ratio we have decided to use it for the detergent formulation. The powder detergents formulated using various other components shows good performance keeping LABS percentage 50% to30%.The functional parameters of detergents performance are comparable and sometimes better than commercial sample ex. Surf excel .The pollution causing chemicals like LABS ,EDTA,STPP are being reduced small level. This is step towards minimizing our dependence on petroleum products with green ecofriendly renewable products.

Abstract

The synthesis of polymer from starch, glycerol, sorbitol, and maleic anhydride using HCl as catalyst is carried out. The polymer obtained has an average molar mass of 1863 g/mol. This and other physico-chemical properties of this polymer are presented. The ester group in the polymer is confirmed by IR and NMR spectral studies. The COD and BOD study of polymer is also presented. The BOD shows first the increase and then decrease during the course of 10 days of analysis.

Keywords
