Ubuchwepheshe be-surfactant eluhlaza kanye nemikhiqizo kuthuthuke ngokushesha, kanti eminye ifinyelela amazinga ahamba phambili emhlabeni jikelele. Ukukhiqizwa kwe-surfactant entsha eluhlaza kusetshenziswa izinsiza ezivuselelekayo njengamafutha kanye nesitashi sekuyinto ebalulekile ocwaningweni lwakamuva, intuthuko, kanye nemizamo yokuthuthukisa izimboni. Ukuhlukahluka kwezinhlobo ze-surfactant kanye nemikhiqizo evela kuzo kuhlangabezana nezidingo zezimboni ezahlukene.
Nakuba ukuthuthukiswa kwezinhlobo ezincane ezisebenzayo ze-surfactant kuqhubeke ngokushesha, kusenegebe elikhulu kokubili ekuhlukeni nasebuningini uma kuqhathaniswa namazwe athuthukile. Ukusebenza kahle kungenye indlela ebalulekile yokuthuthukiswa kwe-surfactant, esekelwa yisiqondiso senqubomgomo kazwelonke futhi eqashelwa kabanzi yimboni. Izikhungo zocwaningo lwasekhaya, amanyuvesi, kanye nezinkampani zenze imizamo emikhulu kulo mkhakha, zaveza imiphumela ethembisayo.
Ezixazululweni zamanzi, ama-surfactant awagcini nje ngokushintsha umsebenzi wesixazululo (okungukuthi, anciphise ukucindezeleka kobuso) kodwa futhi athinta kakhulu izakhiwo ezihlobene nokuwasha njengokungena, ukumuncwa, ukumanzisa, ukuhlakazeka, ukuhlanganiswa kwe-emuls, ukuncibilika, kanye nokugqwala—ikakhulukazi eduze kwe-critical micelle concentration (CMC).
Ama-surfactant asetshenziswa kuma-detergent okwenziwa awawona amakhemikhali ahlanzekile kodwa avame ukuqukatha amanani ahlukahlukene ama-homologs aseduze. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ama-surfactant ngokuvamile angaphansi kwengxenye eyodwa kwezintathu zesisindo sesitsha, kanti okusele kuqukethe izithasiselo ezahlukahlukene kanye nama-ejenti asizayo akhonza imisebenzi ehlukene. Ngakho-ke, inqubo yokuwasha ama-detergent okwenziwa anezingxenye eziningi ihilela indlela eyinkimbinkimbi nehambisanayo.
Ingxenye eyinhloko yezinsipho zokwenziwa yi-molecule ehlala emanzini, enamaqembu athanda amanzi angathandi i-hydrophobic (athanda uwoyela) kanye namaqembu athanda amanzi angathandi i-hydrophilic (athanda amanzi). Lawa ma-molecule anamathela ezindaweni ezihlanganayo, akha izingqimba ezincishisa ukungezwani kobuso—isici esaziwa ngokuthi umsebenzi wobuso (noma wokuxhumana). Izinto ezibonisa lesi sici zibizwa ngokuthi ama-agent asebenza ebusweni (ama-surfactants).
Uma ugeza izindwangu ezingcoliswe uwoyela ngamanzi kuphela, ukungaxubeki kwamafutha namanzi kwenza kube nzima ukususa amabala. Ukwengeza insipho noma insipho yokwenziwa kushintsha ukungezwani kobuso phakathi kwamafutha, amanzi, indwangu, nomoya, okubangela izinqubo ezifana nokungena, ukumuncwa, ukumanzisa, ukuhlakazeka, ukuxutshwa, ukuncibilika, kanye nokugqwala. Kuhlanganiswe nesenzo somshini (ukuklwebha noma ukushukunyiswa komshini), lokhu kwenza kube lula ukususa amabala kawoyela ngempumelelo.
