please help me for neutralizing (sodium lauryl sulfate) in a product. I can not detect contamination in a product, because of presence of SLS in in. how can I neutralize SLS an detect contamination?
Remove sodium lauryl sulfate from an aqueous solution can using s-alkilizotiurony chlorides. You can take the s-benzilizotiurony chloride. Sodium lauryl sulfate with these substances forms in acidic or neutral environment white crystals. Their you are separated from the solution by filtration.
same should work with cationic surfactants like CTAB, however, I would be afraid of killing the microbes. Adsorption to ion exchange resin maybe more gentle. But same as filtration part of microbes maybe removed. ???
