Definitions

  • the present invention is related to an improved method for making aliphatic diperoxyacids having from 8 to 16 carbon atoms.
  • Peroxygen bleaching agents in general and peroxyacid compounds in particular have long been recognized as effective bleaching agents for use when the adverse color and fabric damage effects of harsh halogen active bleaching agents cannot be tolerated. See, for example, Canadian Patent 635,620, January 30, 1962, to McCune. This attractive nature of peroxyacid compounds makes it desirable to be able to make them in the most economical manner.
  • diperoxyacids have also been disclosed. See, for example, U.S. Patent 3,235,584, February 15, 1966, to Blumbergs wherein it is disclosed to react an organic acid halide with an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal peroxide to form a salt of a peroxy- carboxylic acid. Also U.S. Patent 3,284,491, November 8, 1966, to Korach et al. wherein a peroxyacid is formed in a single liquid phase.
  • the present invention relates to a process for making aliphatic diperoxyacids comprising continuously adding a dibasic acid having from 8 to 16 carbon atoms, concentrated sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide and water to a stirred reactor.
  • the diperoxyacid formed is continuously withdrawn from the reactor to maintain a constant residence time for the reactants in the reactor.
  • the process of the present invention involves continuously adding an aliphatic, dibasic acid having from 8 to 16 carbon atoms, sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide and water to a stirred reactor.
  • the dibasic acid is peroxidized to the diperoxyacid in the reactor which peroxyacid then precipitates in crystalline form.
  • the crystalline product is continuously withdrawn from the reactor to maintain a constant average residence time for the reactants.
  • the actual average residence time can be established by controlling the reactant feed rates and product withdrawal rate. It is therefore possible to vary the average residence time from several minutes to several hours depending on the actual design of the reactor. For reasons of efficiency the residence time preferably should be sufficient to allow for at least 80% conversion of the dibasic acid to the diperoxyacid.
  • the composition of the liquid, excluding diacids and diperoxyacids, in the reactor is important in the formation of the diperoxyacid.
  • flow rates to the reactor of sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide and water are sufficient to maintain a liquid concentration of 60% to 80% sulfuric acid, 0.5% to 15% hydrogen peroxide and 5% to 39.5% water.
  • the flow rates of hydrogen peroxide and water are sufficient to maintain a liquid concentration of from 2% to 15% hydrogen peroxide and from 5% to 38% water.
  • Hydrogen peroxide can be of any concentration, but is preferably from about 35% to about 70%, while sulfuric acid is preferably used in a concentration of from about 92% to about 98%.
  • the percentages of these materials in the reaction mixture described above are based on pure materials.
  • the acids suitable for use herein are those aliphatic dibasic carboxylic acids having from 8 to 16 carbon atoms.
  • the diperoxyacid formation reaction is as follows: It is seen that for each mole of dibasic acid used two moles of hydrogen peroxide are required to form the diperoxyacid. It is preferred, however, that an excess of hydrogen peroxide be used in amounts ranging up to 5 times the stoichiometric required amount.
  • the addition of the dibasic acid to the reactor can be done in either of two different ways. In the first way the dibasic acid is added separately from the other reactants. In the second, preferred way, the dibasic acid is dissolved in the sulfuric acid with the solution being added via one inlet stream while aqueous hydrogen peroxide is added as a second inlet stream.
  • the size of the equipment required for the present process is easily determined by the skilled artisan when it has been determined that a particular production rate is desired.
  • the material of construction is not critical but is preferably selected from glass, polytetrafluoroethylene, stainless steel, tantalum, aluminium and porcelain.
  • the present process can take the form of any continuous stirred reactor.
  • Two common forms_of such reactors involve the use of a stirred tank or a high speed recycle reactor wherein the mixing is the result of the action of a pump.
  • the reactant streams are fed into a pump rather than, into a mixing tank, the diperoxyacid product is withdrawn from the pump and run into a heat exchanger and part of the cooled product is recycled to the pump.
  • Each system has certain advantages and may in fact be used together to obtain the benefits of both.
  • the temperature maintained in the reactor is a critical element in determining the rate and characteristics of the peroxidation reaction.
  • the reactor is operated at a temperature in the range of 15 to 45°C.
  • Another element which plays an important role in the reaction process is the mixing which takes place in the reactor. It is desirable in a stirred tank reactor, for maximum crystal size, to use low-shear mixing such as that provided by a slowly moving paddle type agitator. High shear, such as that supplied by a high speed radial turbine, results in the crystals being reduced in size. The selection of a pumping system in the high speed recycle process should also be made so that crystal break up is minimized.
  • the cooling necessary to achieve the desired temperature in either the stirred tank reactor or the recycle process can be obtained in any convenient way.
  • cooling coils or a jacket in contact with the tank surface may be employed.
  • the reactor system may have included in it a portion of a plug flow reactor.
  • Such a combination allows for improved mixing within the reactor, as well as helps to control particle size. See, for example, Becker, G. W. and Larson, M. A., "Mixing Effects in Continuous Crystallization,” Chemical Engineering Progress Symposium Series - Crystallization from Solutions and Melts, Vol. 65.
  • diperoxyacid product Once the diperoxyacid product is removed from the reactor system it must be filtered and washed.
  • the choice of an appropriate filter is dependent on the production rate desired, as well as the crystal characteristics. As with the parts of the reactor system, the skilled artisan, knowing these facts, can easily select an appropriate filter.
  • the peroxyacids made using the process of the present invention can be dried using conventional drying techniques with usual safeguards for handling peroxyacids being observed.
  • the continuous stirred tank reactor as described above, when it is started up, is charged with some of the diperoxyacid reaction product. After the reactor is operational a recycle stream may be used to supply part of the reactant liquids.
  • the continuous process herein can utilize faster reaction conditions with fewer safety problems than is possible with a batch reactor.
  • the peroxyacid compounds made using the process of the present invention can be used in a wide variety of compositions.
  • a preferred use is as a fabric bleaching agent.
  • certain additives are desirably present.
  • peroxyacids are susceptible to a number of different stability problems, as well as being likely to cause some problems. Looking at the latter first, peroxyacids decompose exothermally and when the material is in dry granular form the heat generated must be controlled to make the product safe.
  • the best exotherm control agents are those which are capable of liberating moisture of the peroxyacid employed.
  • magnesium sulfate.7H 2 0 magnesium formate dihydrate, calcium sulfate (CaS0 4 .2H 2 0), calcium lactate hydrate, calcium sodium sulfate (CaSO,.2Na 2 SO 4 .2H 2 0), and hydrated forms of such compounds as sodium aluminum sulfate, potassium aluminum sulfate, ammonium aluminum sulfate and aluminum sulfate.
  • Preferred hydrates are the alkali metal aluminum sulfates, particularly preferred is potassium aluminum sulfate.
  • Other preferred exotherm control agents are those materials which lose water as the result of chemical decomposition such as boric acid, malic acid and maleic acid. The exotherm control agent is preferably used in an amount of from about 100% to about 20096 based on the weight of the peroxyacid compound.
  • Patent 2,838,459, June 10, 1958, to Sprout, Jr. discloses a variety of polyphosphates as stabilizing agents for peroxide baths. These materials are useful herein as stabilizing aids.
  • U.S. Patent 3,192,255, June 29, 1965, to Cann discloses the use of quinaldic acid to stabilize percarboxylic acids. This material, as well as picolinic acid and dipicolinic acid, would also be useful in combination with the diperoxyacids of the present invention.
  • a preferred chelating system is a mixture of 8-hydroxyquinoline and an acid polyphosphate, preferably acid sodium pyrophosphate. The latter can be a mixture of phosphoric acid and sodium pyrophosphate wherein the ratio of the former to the latter is from about 0.5:1 to about 2:1 and the ratio of the mixture to 8-hydroxyquinoline is from about 1:1 to about 5:1.
  • coating materials may also be used to extend the shelf life of dry granular compositions.
  • Such coating materials may be, in general, acids, esters, ethers and hydrocarbons and include such things as wide varieties of fatty acids, derivatives of fatty alcohols, such as esters and ethers, derivatives of polyethyleneglycols such as esters and ethers and hydrocarbon oils and waxes. These materials aid in preventing moisture from reaching the peracid compound.
  • the coating material may be used to segregate the peracid compound from other agents which may be present in the composition and adversely affect the peracid's stability. When used in this manner the coating may be used on both the peracid compound and the other agent or either individually.
  • the amount of the coating material used is generally from about 2.5% to about 15% based on the weight of the peroxyacid compound.
  • Additional agents which may be used to aid in giving good bleaching performance include such things as pH adjustment agents, bleach activators and minors such as coloring agents, dyes and perfumes.
  • Typical pH adjustment agents are used to alter or maintain aqueous solutions of the instant compositions within the 5 to 10 pH range in which peroxyacid bleaching agents are generally most useful.
  • pH adjustment agents can be either of the acid or base type.
  • acidic pH adjustment agents designed to compensate for the presence of other highly alkaline materials include normally solid organic and inorganic acids, acid mixtures and acid salts.
  • Such acidic pH adjustment agents include citric acid, glycolic acid, tartaric acid, gluconic acid, glutamic acid, sulfamic acid, sodium bisulfate, potassium bisulfate, ammonium bisulfate and mixtures of citric acid and lauric acid.
