Principle5.1 Clay and zeolite contain silicon and aluminum at differ-ent relative levels.4The silicon/aluminum ratio is then ameasure of the relative level of clay and zeoli

7、te in detergentpowders. That is, detergent powders with a Si/Al ratio match-ing clay or zeolite contain only clay or zeolite, respectively.Detergent powders with Si/Al ratio falling between the Si/Alratio of clay and zeolite contain both clay and zeolite.5.2 This test method is based on the linear r

8、elationshipbetween the relative composition (or ratio) of clay/zeolite indetergent powders and the Si/Al ratio of such detergents.5.3 A calibration equation is derivable, therefore, from justtwo experimental points: the Si/Al ratio of the zeolite standard(100 zeolite, 0 % clay) and the Si/Al ratio o

9、f the clay standard(0 % zeolite, 100 % clay).6.
