Description
[001] A presente invenção enquadra-se no setor têxtil, particularmente em processos de tratamento de fibras naturais para diferentes aplicações.[001] The present invention fits into the textile sector, particularly in natural fiber treatment processes for different applications.
[002] Na atualidade, as folhas da família das Aspargaceae são consideradas uma variedade de materiais vegetais fibrosos com um alto potencial de exploração na indústria têxtil. Geralmente, esses materiais vegetais têm um alto teor de celulose que podem ser aproveitados na fabricação de bases têxteis para vestuário. Sem embargo, seu emprego como matéria-prima na construção de bases têxteis se encontra limitado devido à sua baixa finura e rugosidade das fibras, pela presença de componentes não celulósicos, o que não a torna apta para obter fios que possam ser fiados com uma maquinaria tradicional para a construção de bases têxteis.[002] Currently, the leaves of the Aspargaceae family are considered a variety of fibrous plant materials with a high potential for exploitation in the textile industry. Generally, these plant materials have a high cellulose content that can be used in the manufacture of textile bases for clothing. However, its use as a raw material in the construction of textile bases is limited due to its low fiber fineness and roughness, due to the presence of non-cellulosic components, which does not make it suitable for obtaining yarns that can be spun with machinery. traditional for the construction of textile bases.
[003] Com o auge do estudo de novas aplicações das fibras naturais liberianas, os avanços mais recentes se concentraram em desenvolver processos de cotonização, os quais se referem ao processamento de fibras liberianas ou duras para torná-las similares às fibras de algodão quanto às suas propriedades (por exemplo, comprimento, suavidade, diâmetro ou finura). Essa cotonização é obtida removendo- se total ou parcialmente as pectinas, a lignina e a hemicelulose sem danificar a celulose da fibra e separando- se as fibras elementares que estão unidas umas às outras por esses compostos.[003] With the height of the study of new applications of natural bast fibers, the most recent advances have focused on developing cottonization processes, which refer to the processing of bast or hard fibers to make them similar to cotton fibers in terms of its properties (for example, length, smoothness, diameter or fineness). This cottonization is obtained by completely or partially removing the pectins, lignin and hemicellulose without damaging the cellulose of the fiber and by separating the elementary fibers that are joined to each other by these compounds.
[004] No estado da técnica são descritos processos de tratamento de fibras naturais das famílias Poaceae, Urticaceae, Malvaceae, Linaceae, Gramineae, Fabaceae, Cannabaceae, com os quais se obtêm fibras com diferentes propriedades e características. Os processos que se encontram divulgados geralmente incluem etapas de tratamento alcalino, branqueamento e secagem.[004] The state of the art describes processes for treating natural fibers from the families Poaceae, Urticaceae, Malvaceae, Linaceae, Gramineae, Fabaceae, Cannabaceae, with which fibers with different properties and characteristics are obtained.

Document CN101041916 (A); describes a process for obtaining a thread from a mixture of bamboo fiber (Poaceae family) and ramie (Urticaceae family).
[010] Na extração e preparação de fibras da família Aspargaceae, um processamento inadequado pode danificar fibras em grande medida, gerando um baixo rendimento de fibras e perdas econômicas. Portanto, há a necessidade de projetar procedimentos para a extração e preparação de fibras da família Aspargaceae, que permitam obter fibras aptas para a construção de têxteis de alta qualidade para vestuário.[010] In the extraction and preparation of fibers of the Aspargaceae family, improper processing can damage fibers to a great extent, generating a low yield of fibers and economic losses. Therefore, there is a need to design procedures for the extraction and preparation of fibers from the Aspargaceae family, which allow obtaining fibers suitable for the construction of high quality textiles for clothing.
[011] O processo da invenção permite obter fibras naturais para novas bases têxteis para a diversificação de suas aplicações no vestuário, ampliando o portfólio de oportunidades para essas fibras dentro do mundo têxtil.[011] The process of the invention allows obtaining natural fibers for new textile bases for the diversification of their applications in clothing, expanding the portfolio of opportunities for these fibers within the textile world.
[012] O processo da presente invenção permite obter fibras naturais modificadas a partir das folhas de plantas da família Aspargaceae, mediante a adição de um agente suavizante às fibras naturais depois de terem sido submetidas a um tratamento alcalino e de branqueamento. As fibras obtidas exibem excelentes propriedades táteis devido à remoção de componentes não celulósicos, favorecendo a diminuição do diâmetro das fibras e o aumento de sua flexibilidade.[012] The process of the present invention makes it possible to obtain modified natural fibers from the leaves of plants of the Aspargaceae family, by adding a softening agent to the natural fibers after they have been subjected to an alkaline and bleaching treatment. The fibers obtained exhibit excellent tactile properties due to the removal of non-cellulosic components, favoring a decrease in fiber diameter and an increase in flexibility.

[017] As fibras duras provenientes das folhas das plantas da família das Aspargaceae são compostas basicamente por celulose (entre 40% e 70%), hemicelulose, pectinas e lignina, encarregadas de aglutinar e manter a integridade das fibras celulósicas. Esses outros componentes não celulósicos são responsáveis por essas fibras serem toscas, pouco flexíveis e com baixa higroscopicidade. Esses componentes devem ser retirados com tratamentos de cotonizado químicos, mecânicos, enzimáticos e/ou físicos para obter fibras mais suaves e individualizadas com aplicações no setor têxtil.[017] The hard fibers from the leaves of plants of the Aspargaceae family are basically composed of cellulose (between 40% and 70%), hemicellulose, pectins and lignin, responsible for agglutinating and maintaining the integrity of cellulosic fibers. These other non-cellulosic components are responsible for these fibers being coarse, inflexible and with low hygroscopicity. These components must be removed with chemical, mechanical, enzymatic and/or physical cottonizing treatments to obtain softer and more individualized fibers for applications in the textile sector.
[018] Dessa forma, a presente invenção refere-se a um processo para o tratamento de fibras naturais provenientes da família Aspargaceae, entre elas, pita, henequém e sisal, cujas folhas e talos são inicialmente desfibrados e as fibras cortadas longitudinalmente em tamanhos entre 10 mm e 1500 mm.[018] Thus, the present invention relates to a process for the treatment of natural fibers from the Aspargaceae family, including pitta, henequem and sisal, whose leaves and stalks are initially shredded and the fibers cut lengthwise into sizes between 10 mm and 1500 mm.
[019] Uma vez desfibradas e cortadas as fibras, são submetidas a um tratamento alcalino que consiste em submergi-las em uma solução alcalina de KOH ou NaOH (1% a a20% p/p), com uma relação fibra/solução alcalina entre 1:5 e 1:50, a uma temperatura entre 20 e 90 °C, durante 1 a 24 horas. Em uma modalidade do processo da invenção, as fibras são submersas em uma solução alcalina de NaOH entre 10% e 15% (p/v), a uma relação fibra/solução entre 1:20 e 1:40, a uma temperatura entre 60 °C e 80 °C, durante 1 a 5 horas. Em outra modalidade do processo da invenção, as fibras são submersas em uma solução a 15% (p/v) de KOH a uma temperatura de 80 °C, durante 2 horas.[019] Once the fibers are defibrated and cut, they are subjected to an alkaline treatment that consists of submerging them in an alkaline solution of KOH or NaOH (1% to 20% w/w), with a fiber/alkaline solution ratio between 1:5 and 1:50 at a temperature between 20 and 90 °C for 1 to 24 hours. In one embodiment of the process of the invention, the fibers are submerged in an alkaline solution of NaOH between 10% and 15% (w/v), at a fiber/solution ratio between 1:20 and 1:40, at a temperature between 60 °C and 80 °C, for 1 to 5 hours. In another embodiment of the process of the invention, the fibers are submerged in a 15% (w/v) KOH solution at a temperature of 80 °C for 2 hours.
[020] As fibras obtidas são enxaguadas uma ou mais vezes com água e submetidas a uma fase de branqueamento, a qual pode ser realizada por tratamento químico ou tratamento enzimático a uma temperatura entre 20 °C e 90 °C, durante 0,1 a 168 horas, após o quê, as fibras são novamente enxaguadas com água. Em uma modalidade do processo da invenção, a fase de branqueamento é realizada mediante tratamento químico a uma temperatura entre 60 °C e 90 °C, durante 0,5 a 3 horas, preferencialmente a uma temperatura de 80 °C, durante 2 horas.[020] The fibers obtained are rinsed one or more times with water and subjected to a bleaching phase, which can be carried out by chemical treatment or enzymatic treatment at a temperature between 20 °C and 90 °C, for 0.1 to 168 hours, after which the fibers are again rinsed with water. In one embodiment of the process of the invention, the bleaching step is carried out by chemical treatment at a temperature between 60°C and 90°C, for 0.5 to 3 hours, preferably at a temperature of 80°C, for 2 hours.
[021] Para efeitos da presente invenção, o tratamento químico da fase de branqueamento consiste em adicionar às fibras um agente branqueador, uma base forte, um catalizador e um antiespumante. O agente branqueador é selecionado a partir de compostos químicos como cloro em qualquer estado, compostos e/ou sais derivados do cloro (por exemplo, hipoclorito de sódio), sulfetos ou compostos sulfúricos, oxigênio ou ozônio ou compostos que liberem oxigênio como peróxidos, perboratos, persulfatos ou percloratos, metais alcalinos, metais alcalinoterrosos, compostos por amônio, e suas misturas, em concentrações que podem ir desde 1% até 30% (p/v).

The bleaching agent is selected from chemical compounds such as chlorine in any state, compounds and/or salts derived from chlorine (e.g. sodium hypochlorite), sulphides or sulfuric compounds, oxygen or ozone or compounds that release oxygen such as peroxides, perborates , persulfates or perchlorates, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, ammonium compounds, and mixtures thereof, in concentrations ranging from 1% to 30% (w/v). In one embodiment of the invention, the bleaching agent is hydrogen peroxide.
[022] A base forte que se adiciona na fase de branqueamento pode ser NaOH ou KOH, a concentrações entre 0,1 e 5% (p/p); o catalizador é selecionado a partir de sais inorgânicos, hidrocarbonetos, álcoois, ácidos orgânicos e seus derivados, em concentrações entre 0,01% e 1,0%; e o agente antiespumante é selecionado a partir de emulsões siliconadas, não siliconadas ou derivados esteáricos de álcoois ou de siloxanos, em concentrações de 1,0% a 10,0%. Em uma modalidade do processo da invenção, a base forte é NaOH, o catalizador é sulfato de magnésio, o agente branqueador é peróxido de hidrogeno e o antiespumante é um álcool esteárico.[022] The strong base that is added in the bleaching phase can be NaOH or KOH, at concentrations between 0.1 and 5% (w/w); the catalyst is selected from inorganic salts, hydrocarbons, alcohols, organic acids and their derivatives, in concentrations between 0.01% and 1.0%; and the antifoaming agent is selected from silicone or non-silicone emulsions or stearic alcohol or siloxane derivatives, in concentrations from 1.0% to 10.0%. In one embodiment of the process of the invention, the strong base is NaOH, the catalyst is magnesium sulfate, the bleaching agent is hydrogen peroxide, and the defoamer is stearyl alcohol.
[023] O tratamento enzimático de branqueamento consiste em adicionar às fibras naturais uma ou mais enzimas como: peroxidases, lacases, oxidases catalases, pectinases, celulases, a concentrações entre 1 e 100 g/L, a temperatura entre 20 e 60 °C, durante um tempo entre 1 e 168 horas. Em uma modalidade da invenção, o tratamento enzimático é levado a cabo mediante a adição de peroxidases e celulases a uma concentração entre 0,01% e 5% (v/v) a uma temperatura entre 20 °C e 40 °C, durante 1 a 168 horas. Em outra modalidade da invenção, o tratamento enzimático é levado a cabo mediante a adição de peroxidase a uma concentração de 0,3 (v/v), temperatura de 25 °C, durante 168 horas.[023] Enzymatic bleaching treatment consists of adding one or more enzymes to natural fibers such as: peroxidases, laccases, catalase oxidases, pectinases, cellulases, at concentrations between 1 and 100 g/L, at a temperature between 20 and 60 °C, for a time between 1 and 168 hours. In one embodiment of the invention, the enzymatic treatment is carried out by adding peroxidases and cellulases at a concentration between 0.01% and 5% (v/v) at a temperature between 20 °C and 40 °C, for 1 to 168 hours. In another embodiment of the invention, the enzymatic treatment is carried out by adding peroxidase at a concentration of 0.3 (v/v), temperature of 25°C, for 168 hours.
[024] Uma vez culminada a fase de branqueamento, um agente suavizante é adicionado às fibras, o qual é selecionado a partir de emulsões catiônicas, aniônicas, não-iônicas, reativas, anfóteras, siliconadas ou enzimáticas, a fim de dar suavidade à fibra e de evitar hornificação da celulose, o que dificultaria o processo de cardação, no qual a fibra é aberta, separada e depurada de sujeira e de fibras curtas, a fim de serem individualizadas e paralelizadas para formar um véu que será convertido em uma cinta de carda ao final do processo.[024] Once the bleaching phase is completed, a softening agent is added to the fibers, which is selected from cationic, anionic, nonionic, reactive, amphoteric, siliconized or enzymatic emulsions, in order to make the fiber soft and to avoid hornification of the cellulose, which would make the carding process difficult, in which the fiber is opened, separated and purified of dirt and short fibers, in order to be individualized and parallelized to form a veil that will be converted into a belt of card at the end of the process.
[025] O agente suavizante em uma concentração entre 0,1% e 10%, preferencialmente entre 0,5% e 2,0%, e é adicionado às fibras a uma temperatura entre 30 °C e 80 °C, com uma relação fibra/solução entre 1:5 e 1:50 e por um período de tempo entre 0,5 e 2 horas.
