| 单词 | a surfactant |
| 释义 | surfactantDefinition Surface active agent. Natural or synthetic substance that allows or promotes 'wetting' of a soiled surface, and dispersion or suspension (emulsification) of greasy soils in a solution. Surfactants achieve this by reducing the surface tension of the solvent (such as water) or the interfacial tension between two non-miscible liquids such as water and oil. Depending on the application, surfactants are mixed with builders or pH boosters (such as carbonates, phosphates, silicates), foam boosters, and suitable solvents (such as alcohols or hydrocarbons) to formulate household, industrial and personal care detergents. Use 'surfactant' in a SentenceThere are many ways to remove spilled milk from the floor and I suggested my friend use a surfactant as it is an optimal choice. I have some cleaner under the sink that may work, but I don't know if the label would indicate if it contains a surfactant. The cleanup crew knew the only way to deal with the enormous amount of spilled oil and grease would be to have a strong surfactant to break down the viscosity. |
