Description

COMPOSITIONS FOR THE DETACKIFICATION OF
PAINT SPRAY BOOTH WATER AND WASTE WATER
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Industrial waste water, as well as water-borne waste and paints derived from industrial process such as electrophoretic and spray-booth painting can cause serious pollution problems. Water-borne paints, and waste water when discharged as aqueous carrier with paint or lacquer residues, increase substantially the chemical oxygen demand (COD). Such paint and lacquer deteriorate by ageing or chemical modification, become sticky or hard, resulting in pipe and equipment blockage which are extremely difficult to clear.
In addition to the prior art disclosed in Canadian Patent No.
1,279,418, the following prior art patents are related to the subject matter of this application:
Patent No. 4,067,806 of Frank A. Mauceri, discloses a process of detackification of paint and spray booth lacquer by using amphoteric salts (like zinc chloride etc.) and a terpolymer-"graft"-on diallyldimethylammonium halide, N-vinylpyrrolidoneand acrylamide. The compositions have tremendous disadvantage by using amphoteric salts like ZnCl2, which from zinc hydroxide only at high pH of 10 to 10.5. Below and ak~ove this pH range, the zinc hydroxide is soluble again, so the floc forms. On the other hand, the zinc hydroxide is very fluffy and unstable, and absorbs much water which makes the product very unsecured in this kind of applicatian. The waste water and the sludge are alkaline and cannot be discharged without further treatment, JJ: - 1 r i 341392 which makes such process uneconomical. Further, under the conditions described in the patent, the amphoteric salt (ZnCl2) can easily be transformed into inactive anion like (ZnCl3)- by the reaction:
H ~+
ZnCl2 + 1/2C12 ---~ ZnCl3 aq.
which decreases the efficiency to treat or deactivate the anodic or cathodic paints, lacquer, etc.
Patent No. 3,990,986 of Gabel, et al, like Mauceri, teaches detackification of the paint and lacquer by using amphoteric salts (like ZnCl2) or a blend with alkanolamines or aliphatic amino alcohols. This patent presents same negative aspects as Mauceri. Note also that the test conditions of detackification use an insufficieri~: amount of paint 10.5cc/500 mls of water) for a fair test. The product: selected, such as polyalkylene oxide with molecular weight (Mw) of 200 has iow Tg (glass transition temperature) which makes the reaction hydrophillic, resulting in very unsecured floc, and the paint may be only partially "killed" (or deactivated).
Patent No. 4,401,574 of Farrington, et al, uses polyaluminum chloride (PAC) in paint waste water, such as polyvinylacetate latex based paint or vinyl-acrylic paint. The (PAC) alone or mixed with regular aluminum or iron salts (chloride,sulfate) are totally ineffective on air-borne paint and lacquer waste water treatment. Even in regular paint waste water, the water clarity (35 NTU) is still hazy.
Electrophoretic paints consist of an organic substrate on which ionic charges have been introduced. Today's market can offer anodic electropaints or a cathodic formulation. For more than tvventy years, the method of JJ: -2-,;Y .

~ 341392 treatment has been to add a chemical coagulant (either ferric or aluminum salts) in a controlled pH environment to form a hydrous oxide floc onto which that paint can be adsorbed. The anodic paints become sticky if they encounter acid conditions and cathodic paints become sticky in alkaline conditions. Application of solvent-based paints by spraying, followed by hardening stage is extensively practiced for motor car body finishes over the electropaint primer. The spraying is carried out in a booth with exhaust system to extract surplus air-borne paints. Any removed material passes through a cortin Qf recirculating water, which will absorb paint and solvent, and which has to be removed before the waste water is recirculated.
The most common paints used are classified into two groups:
a. Spray-booth paints such as thermosetting acrylic clear-coat, thermosetting acrylic enamel, thermoplastic acrylic lacquer and stoving alkyd.
b. Electrophoretic paints such as acrylic based anodic, epoxy-based cathodic and polybutadiene based anodic.
Other paint-varnish system which may be used are:
1. Epoxy, such as pre-polymerized epoxy resin, amide-epoxy (crosslinked copolymers).
2. Styrenated alkyd 3. Drying oils 4. Phenolic resin 5. Urea alkyd 6. Urea melamine 7. Silicone JJ: - 3 The treatment system commonly used is controlled additions of coagulants with simultaneous pH control which are removed by air flotation, electroflotation or sedimentation, slurry holding and filter press. In the case of air flotation, full chemical coagulant with good performance is still to be achieved. The regular ferric or aluminum sulfate, though largely unsuccessful for coagulation process, are used as paint "killer". The industrial waste water and water-borne paints treated with the inorganic-organic or organic alloy polymer adduct have a high impact on coagulation processes. These act as primary coagulants which under neutralization processes (preferably hydrophobic cor~npositions) will floc and kill the paint. Good performance was produced with an operating pH of 6.0 to 9.0 for anodic and cathodic paint which gives high supernatant clarity and high settling or dewatering rates. In many cases, it is preferable to use hydrophobic alkaline agents. For the preparation of hydrophobic. alkaline material, the following can be used:
a. Any inorganic or organic alkaline matter or mixed such as NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH1Z, sodium or potassium aluminate, sodium zincate, sodium silicate or metasilicate, sodium borate, alkyl amine, alkanol amine, or mixture of these in combination with "hydrophobe" materials.
b. (Co)polymers, surfactants (preferably nonionics, anionic or mixture of these from 0.5% b.w. - 95.5% b.w.). The most preferable hydrophobe products are the (co)polymers such as acrylate, vinyl latex type such as styrene latex, styrene-divinylbenzene latex, styrene-butadiene (modified) latex, styrene-acrylate, or acrylic latex, cationic polyamines, or non-ionic polymers.

"'1 ~ 349392 c. Hydroxy alkyl (poly)carboxylate salts or acids such as sodium gluconate, sodium heptonate, modified natural (co)polymer salts, sodium rosinates, sodium glucosides, combinations of clays, bentonite or modified organic bentonite.
d. Other products used can be any forms as inorganic or organic alkaline stripper agents including halogenated types or in cambination with products (a), (b1, or (c1.
For air or electroflotation, NaOH in the most commonly used, producing as well as hydrophobe agents in some cases, less dense and easily floated flocks.
For anodic paint treatment, alkali dosage can be used before the coagulant addition, therefore the final pH is approached from the high pH end.
Polyelectrolyte selection is very important too. These must have very high molecular weight (Mw). In the case of water-borne paint waste water, a dosage of less than 1 .0 ppm (parts per million) often improved supernatant clarity and fast settlement. Higher concentrations may tend to produce bulky, open-textured flocks.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The treatment with inorganic-organic alloy adduct polymers or organic alloy-adduct polymers involves denaturatian of the surface or dispersed matter and of semidispersed paint globules in combination with alkaline or hydrophobic alkaline matter. This treatment is sufficient to render the paint globules relatively "non-sticky" and it allowed them to be skimmed from the surface of the treatment solution into filter bags. The sludge _.5 _ produced by the selected products have low water content, and dewater much faster than any combination used in the prior art. The clarified effluent can then be re-cycled to the spray-booth.
The polyelectrolyte is added (if required) in a uniform manner and at one or several distribution points by gentle mixing. Because the water has high electrolyte content, most of the time, the flocculation process does not occur completely, therefore several feeding paints should be selected. In many cases, it may be noticed that partial flocculation may occur followed by converting into thickening material which may produce very gummy and sticky floc.
On the other hand, when calcium, magnesium hydroxide are used, resulting floc is more compact, and sludge is faster-setting. NaOH is the choice for producing less dense and more easily floated flocks. It was found that by using A13+ or Fe3+ (either as chloride or sulfate), or both, a regular coagulant cannot produce satisfactory results at: all. The floc formed is tacky, "unkilled" (or active), bulky, and produces turbid water. Most of the systems proposed today use very high pH, such as pH 10 to 14. U.S. Patent No.
3,990,986 even suggests a dosage up to 100,000 ppm. Any system with such high pH treatment and amphoteric salts produces other problems which require additional treatment for sludge and waste water. The alkaline sludge cannot be disposed or incinerated and the alkaline water and high suspended matter cannot be discharged. In contrast with existing technologies, the inorganic-organic or organic alloy polymers compositions selected require much lower treatment dosage 15 to 700 ppm), depending on the paint nature.
If a mixture of paint characters are treated, the normal pH of 7 to 9 is suitable JJ: . 8 1 34~ 39 2 for effective treatment. The products are not corrosive, and the killed paint flocks can be easily handled by other plant operations.
For these products, the most useful are quaternary ammonium polymers which can be prepared by:
1. Quaternization of a monomeric compound, e.g. a vinyl monomer or epoxide, and subsequent polymerization;
2. Quaternization of tertiary amine with halogenated polymer;
3. One-step spontaneous polymerization of unsaturated tertiary amine (e.g. vinyl pyridine) with alkylating agents;
4. Quaternization of polyamine with alkyl halide;
5. Polymerization of di (tertiary amine) and alkylene dichloride to form (poly)ionenes or polymerization of chloroalkyl tertiary amine to form (poly) ionenes;
6. Post reactian of polymer containing suitable reactive functional groups with quaternary ammonium compounds.
In the case of an inorganic-organic adduct,it can display the monoactivity charges of (CI~) or (1 /2SO42-1 by multivalent metal anion system generating more active flocculants or coagulants or with both properties. For instance, if an inorganic adduct such as aluminurr~ hydroxy sulfate is reacted with polydiallyldimethyl ammoniumchloride ar poly(dadmac), the chlorine '...

The synthesis can be carried out from room temperature (RT) to 110°C and from normal pressure to 0.2 to 25 Kg/crn2.
Some details of these preparations are described in Canadian Patent No. 1, 279,418.
