L. Cohen et al., LINEAR ALKYLBENZENE SULFONATE DETERGENCY BEHAVIOR IN WATER CONTAININGMAGNESIUM-IONS, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, 70(7), 1993, pp. 725-726
Detergency performance of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) in water
containing magnesium ions has been investigated. LAS showed the same
behavior with magnesium as with calcium, on a qualitative basis. Howev
er, the detergency performance with magnesium is significantly higher
than with calcium.
