Produção em escala de bancada e piloto de um detergente neutro doméstico biodegradável a partir de óleo de fritura

Abstract

Detergents are essential products for cleaning and sanitizing various places, as they are organic substances and have the property of promoting cleaning through the emulsification process. This work aimed to develop a biodegradable detergent from frying oil as a sustainable alternative to reduce environmental impacts. The frying oil was filtered, characterized and deodorized to develop a biodegradable neutral detergent. After the product was completed, it underwent physical-chemical tests to guarantee its functionality. The results demonstrate a product with good consistency, viscosity, fat removal and foaming, in addition to the cost of the product being cheaper compared to conventional ones. Therefore, it was concluded that developing a biodegradable detergent using used frying oil in its formulation, in order to reduce impacts on the environment, is a desirable alternative, in addition to being cheaper, it brings benefits to the ecosystem.
