Definitions

  • This invention relates to the cleaning of aluminum surfaces, particularly drawn and ironed aluminum cans containing lubricant contaminants, using an alkaline composition.
  • Containers of aluminum and aluminum alloys are manufactured by a drawing and forming operation, commonly referred to as drawing and ironing. This operation results in the deposition of lubricant and forming oil contaminants on the surfaces of the container. In addition, residual aluminum fine contaminants are deposited on the surfaces, with relatively larger quantities present on the inside surface of the container.
  • the surfaces of the containers Prior to processing the containers, e.g. conversion coating and sanitary lacquer deposition, the surfaces of the containers must be clean and free of waterbreaks, so that no contaminants remain on the surfaces which will interfere with further processing of the containers.
  • compositions currently used commercially for cleaning such aluminum containers are aqueous sulfuric acid solutions containing hydrofluoric acid and one or more surfactants. Such cleaning solutions are quite effective and have many advantages. However, there are also some disadvantages associated with such acid cleaning compositions. For example, such compositions are capable of dissolving stainless steel and other iron alloy equipment commonly utilized in the container cleaning lines. Also, hydrofluoric acid and fluorides present in spent cleaning baths and rinse water present an environmental problem in their disposition.
  • Alkaline cleaning solutions have been formulated in the past to try to overcome the above problems, but such alkaline solutions have instead raised new serious problems of their own which have mitigated against their commercial use. For example, when cleaning solutions employing alkali metal hydroxides were tried, extensive and irregular etching of the aliminum containers occurred, rendering the containers commercially unacceptable.
  • GB 2 102 838 A discloses an alkaline cleaner comprising: 0.5 to 3 grams/liter (g/l) of an alkali metal hydroxide (such as NaOH); 1 to 5 g/l of an alkali metal salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (such as sodium EDTA); 0.1 to 10 g/l of at least one anionic, cationic, or nonionic surfactant (such as an anionic surfactant believed to be composed of two parts of a modified polyethoxylated straight chain alcohol and one part of a linear alkyl succinate, optionally combined with an alkali metal salt of 2-butoxyethoxyacetate); and optionally further containing 0.6 to 1.3 g/l of an aluminum sequestering agent (such as sodium glucoheptonate). It may be noted that the EDTA in this composition does not function as an aluminum sequestering agent, because of the alkaline pH of the composition.
  • an alkali metal hydroxide such as NaOH
  • compositions of the above applications were excellent aluminum can cleaners, resulting in cans with virtually no waterbreaks, problems arose when a production line was interrupted for any length of time beyond a few minutes. It was found that cans that stood without after-rising for any length of time developed severe staining, particularly at those points where the cans were in contact with each other. Even the slightest such stain would make the cans unusable, since they appeared blemished, even after subsequent coating. While most can cleaning operations are by spraying with a cleaner for a short time such as 10 to 60 seconds, it was also found that times of 60 to 120 seconds, which are occasionally employed, might also result in staining. Additionally, it was found that where there was an usually large amount of lubricant contaminant, such as more than about 1.5 g/l, the cleaner was less effective.
  • alkaline or neutral cleaning compositions for metal surfaces including the following: U.S. 3,975,215, U.S. 3,888,783, U.S. 4,093,566, Japanese 53/149,130, Japanese 51/149,830, Japanese 50/067,726, Japanese 48/103,033.
  • U.S. 4,477,290 describes an alkaline aluminum cleaner having a minimum amount of 6 g/l of NaOH or KOH, which is far in excess of a desirable amount and will cause smutting.
  • the solutions are stated as having a pH of about 13.
  • Chelating (sequestrant) agents including sorbitol, gluconic acid, and glucoheptoic acid are disclosed.
  • a composition of .6 to 2 g/l of tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, 0.5 to 1.8 g/l of sodium gluconate, and 0.5 to 1.8 g/l of KOH is also disclosed, although no EDTA or surfactant is present.
  • GB-A-2 133 044 discloses a process for alkaline cleaning and etching aluminum surfaces. From this document the use of inorganic phosphat alongside with alkali hydroxide and aluminum sequestring agent as pre-cleaning composition at temperatures up to 70 °C is known. A following step comprises a cleaning composition comprising sodium hydroxide and sodium gluconate at somewhat lower temperature. No EDTA is present, but incorporation of a surfactant is suggested. US-A-4 048 121 refers to low temperature metal cleaning compositions. No phosphate is present since the aim was to depart from using phosphates.
  • the invention affords compositions and methods for cleaning aluminum, particularly aluminum cans contaminated with lubricants and other oils, aluminum fines, etc.
  • the compositions are in the nature of both initial cleaners and replenisher cleaners, as well as concentrates used in formulating these cleaners.
  • aqueous alkaline aluminum-cleaning compositions of this invention are employed in aqueous cleaning baths, whose pH must be 11.0 or higher, preferably in the range 11.0 to 12.5, most preferably 11.5 to 12.3.
  • the compositions may be either in powder-form or in the form of an aqueous concentrate solution. Both powder and aqueous solution may be in a single component package, or may have two or three components.
  • compositions comprise the following:
  • compositions of this invention are used primarily for cleaning aluminum cans in a production line, and in the final form of an aqueous cleaning solution into which the unfinished cans are dipped, or with which they are sprayed, quantities of ingredients are stated in terms of grams per liter of the complete aqueous cleaning solution. Because of the nature of the various composition ingredients, they may be added to the aqueous cleaning bath individually, all at once, or in any combinations.
  • ingredients are added in their essentially dry (powder) form, they are generally physically compatible with each other, although where a liquid surfactant is used, it may be advantageous to add it separately.
  • Adding powder-form ingredients has the advantage of lighter weight in transportation, since the water is absent. However, powders usually must be premixed with water for ease of addition.
  • the ingredients are added in the form of aqueous solutions. Advantages of using such solutions are ease of handling, bulk storage capability, and the avoidance of premixing.
  • the at least one surfactant may tend to separate from the other liquid ingredients, in which instance it simply should be added separately.
  • the alkali metal salt of either the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid or nitrilotriacetic acid is preferably a sodium salt, although potassium and lithium salts can also be employed.
  • the salt is preferably the di-, tri-, or, in the case of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid the tetra-alkali metal salt, a mixture of such salts can be used.
  • the mono-alkali metal salt can be used, but tends to be somewhat less soluble in the concentrates of the invention.
  • the alkali metal salts of the ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and the nitrilotriacetic acid can be substituted, one for the other, on a mol per mol basis.
  • the surfactant can be anionic, cationic or nonionic and combinations of two or more surfactants can be employed. Examples of surfactants that can be used in the cleaning solutions of the present invention are disclosed in columns 6 and 7 of U.S. Patent 4,116,853
  • each surfactant is present in 0.1 to 5 g/l, in the cleaning solution.
  • a defoamer may also be present.
  • the above preferred surfactants and surfactant combinations are in fact much preferred for use in the present cleaning solutions based on their ability, particularly when an aluminum sequestering agent is also present, to contribute to preventing discoloration (staining) of those aluminum cans that stand wet with the cleaning solution during periods of line stoppage. It is believed that this is because the surfactants wet the can surfaces sufficient to prevent the formation of a meniscus between the cans or at least to reduce any such meniscus in size.
  • the staining problem appears to be obviated regardless of the surfactant.
  • the second aluminum sequestering agent optionally (but preferably) included in the cleaning solutions of the invention can be any compound known for its ability to sequester aluminum in aqueous alkaline solution.
  • examples of such compounds include sorbitol, an alkali metal (e.g. sodium) gluconate, an alkali metal (e.g. sodium) glucoheptonate, and an alkali metal (e.g. sodium) tartrate, with sorbitol and sodium glucoheptonate being preferred.
  • the useful inorganic alkali metal phosphates are sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, trisodiumphosphate, sodium phosphate monobasic, and sodium phosphate dibasic as well as corresponding potassium and lithium salts.
  • phosphate salts or their combinations which are critical to this invention, may be used.
  • these salts are (a) tripolyphosphates, (b) pyrophosphates, (c) hexametaphosphates or trisodium phosphates, and (d) all of the remaining salts.
  • the sodium salts are always preferred, although the potassium salts and even the lithium salts may also be used.
  • the second inorganic salts which optionally may be used include sodium carbonate, sodium nitrate, sodium sulfate, sodium aluminate, and corresponding potassium or lithium salts.
  • the alkali metal hydroxide which is used herein if necessary to adjust the pH of the composition to within the required ranges, may be sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), potassium hydroxide (potash), lithium hydroxide, or their mixture. Sodium hydroxide is preferred. Where potassium hydroxide is used, the amounts of other ingredients may be reduced, although still within the above parameters. It may also be necessary to increase the pH while a production line is running, in order to prevent staining in case of line stoppage. This can be done by titering the hydroxide addition upward, starting from a minimal amount, until acceptably clean cans are obtained. Since the ingredients do not react with each other prior to their cleaning of the aluminum surfaces, they may be added all together, individually, or in any combination.
  • a preferred concentrate is a two-package combination, the first package containing all ingredients except the alkali metal hydroxide and the second package containing the hydroxide with, optionally, some or all of the inorganic salt.
  • water is added to the first package so that the various ingredients therein are in the concentration ranges set forth herein and the second package containing the alkali metal hydroxide is dissolved in the water before, after, or simultaneously with the first package if necessary to adjust the pH to at least 11, preferably 11 to 12.5, more preferably 11.5 to 12.3.
  • it may be stirred or shaken just prior to metering a given amount or it may be supplied in containers small enough so that the entire container content is used at once.
  • the processes of the invention comprise contacting the aluminum or aluminum alloy surfaces to be cleaned with the aqueous cleaning compositions of the invention using any of the contacting techniques known in the art, such as conventional spray or immersion methods, spraying being preferred.
  • the temperature of the cleaning composition should be maintained within the range (80 to 150°F) 27 to 66 °C, preferably (90 to 140°F) 32 to 60°C, most preferably (100 to 130°F) 38 to 55°C.
  • the treatment time may vary, depending upon the nature of the aluminum production line. Such times are generally 10 to 120 seconds, preferably 10 to 60 seconds.
  • the aluminum surfaces are rinsed with water to remove the cleaning solution.
  • the aluminum surface may then be treated with coating solutions or siccative finish coating compositions well known to the art.
  • prerinses of the aluminum surfaces with water prior to the cleaning step is sometimes beneficial in reducing the amount of contaminants that would otherwise enter the cleaning bath.
  • Spent cleaning solutions and rinse waters present few problems in their safe disposition.
  • the alkali metal salts of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid are readily oxidized to environmentally relatively harmless components by treatment of the spent cleaning solutions with small quantities of peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide.
  • water containing hydrochloric acid can be added until a pH of about 7 is obtained.
  • the alkaline hydroxide was NaOH used in a constant ratio of 1 g/l
  • the EDTA was sodium EDTA used in a constant ratio of 2.5 g/l
  • the aluminum sequestering agent was sodium glucoheptonate and was always present in a ratio of 1 g/l.
  • the inorganic and phosphate salts were varied, as were their amounts. Some tests were run without any salts, for comparison purposes. (See Examples C-1 to C-7)
  • the surfactant used in all of these tests was a combination of 3:5 parts of (A) and (C), althouth the amounts used were varied.
  • no surfactant was used and the inorganic salt was sodium tripolyphosphate. While this composition had some utility, the amount of tripolyphosphate had to be increased to the point where it could not be dissolved in the make-up concentrate and therefore had to be added as a separate solution. (see Example 2).
  • Each of the baths were run in a laboratory carrousel washer with a prewash of water at (145°F) 63°C for 30 seconds with a 20 second blow-off and a wash at (135°F) 57°C for 15 seconds followed by a 30 second blow-off.
  • the percentage of waterbreak free surface was determined as follows. After the cans are treated and washed, they are dipped into a saturated sodium sulfate bath kept at (150°F) 66°C. After excess water runs off (10 seconds) they are flash dried in an oven at 300°C. Where waterbreak is evident on a can, the surface will be clear of salt (i.e. silver). Where the surface is waterbreak free, it will be covered with a coating of salt, and will appear white. The percentage of white to silver may be determined visually, with an optical scanner, or by any other means. 100% means that the surface is completely white (i.e. waterbreak free).
  • the stain is usually brown and may be measured visually or by a suitable scanning device.
  • a suitable scanning device is a "Stain Scanner" which measures the amount of light reflected off a can dome.
  • Light is transmitted by means of optical fibers to a chamber, where it is reflected off a can to a photovoltaic cell.
  • the intensity of the reflected light is proportional to the brightness of the can surface.
  • a millivolt meter is used to measure the output of the photovoltaic cell.
  • the light is adjusted to a standard with a variable rheostat. The standard in this instance is 300 mv. After the cans are washed and allowed to dry, a reflectance measurement is taken.
  • the bath used to treat the cans is then poured into the (concave) dome of the can. It is then heated in an oven at 200°C for 5 minutes. The cans are then rinsed and dried. A second reflectance measurement is then taken and the result compared with the first.
  • the differential (dSS) determines the amount of stain. The result must not be a negative number, which would indicate staining. The most desireable result for stain prevention is 0 or close to 0, indicating little or no change.
  • Foaming may be a problem with some cleaner compositions.
  • the residue solution is collected in a tank below the suspended cans. This residue solution is then recirculated to the sprayers, in a continuing operation. An excess of foaming (i.e. over the top of the tank) may result in a loss of treating composition as well as undesireable contamination.
  • the control of foaming is therefore very desireable.
  • To test for foaming a single can washer was used. It was filled with 4 l of cleaning bath solution, and the temperature set at (135°F) 57°C. The bath was sprayed for the indicated time and the foam level was recorded in liters of foam. After 10 minutes of spraying, the foam was allowed to decay for 10 minutes and the level was again recorded.
  • Examples 1-29 (including comparative) Sodium tripolyphosphate was used as the nonorganic salt.
  • compositions accordinging to this invention may employ less surfactant, replacing it partially with the lower cost inorganic phosphate salt, which is a great advantage.
  • An interesting observation is that excessive foaming without the inorganic phosphate salt starts at a surfactant level of 6.25 (Ex. C-3) and continues through a level of 8.75 (Ex. C-5).
  • the excessive foaming with the inorganic salt is of a much shorter range, as indicated in Examples 10, 18, 23, and 27, and occurs at much lower surfactant levels.
  • Ex. 29, which used no surfactant at all achieved a satisfactory % WBF and dSS/
  • the surfactant may be eliminated entirely, although then it is preferred that it be used in 1 to 3 g/l quantities.
  • Table 2 demonstrates that only some inorganic salts are useful for this invention. All of the salts in Table 2 were chosen because they were thought likely to be effective. However, as can be seen, those labeled comparative examples (sodium carbonate, sodium nitrate, sodium sulfate, and sodium aluminate) produced severe staining. Marginally acceptable salts include trisodium phosphate (which is acceptable in larger amounts), and sodium hexametaphosphate (which gave mixed results at lower amounts). Clearly, the tetrasodium pyrophosphate produced excellent staining results, and is less preferred than the sodium tripolyphosphate only because the latter is more soluble. It should be noted that the salts in the comparative examples were all satisfactory in the foaming tests, and it may therefore be possible to employ them in admixture with the salts according to this invention, especially where such admixtures are cost effective.
  • the initial make-up cleaner composition has all ingredients in the desired quantities, but that these ingredients are consumed in differing proportions.
  • the cleaner solution is replenished, the ingredients are added in proportions different from the initial solution, so that the initial ingredient proportions are maintained.
  • compositions disclosed in Table 3, below were prepared and used to clean aluminum can blanks.
  • the prewash was at a temperature of (120°F) 49°C for 30 seconds, followed by a wash with the following compositions at (120°F) 49°C for 35 seconds, and then by a rinse with deionized water at ambient temperature. All ingredients below are in g/l.
  • the exterior reflectivity values were acceptable for all three examples.
  • the secondary sequestrant (seq.) used was sorbitol.
  • the surfactant (surf.) used was a combination of A and C in a weight ratio A:C of 3:5.
  • the pH in example C-59 was too low with the use of 8 g/l of EDTA Na salt, this amount may be enough where the ambient water has a sufficiently high pH to result in a cleaning bath pH of at least 11.
  • the EDTA Na salt and NTA Na salt were each present in the equimolar amount of .006 mols. As can be seen, both of these salts gave acceptable results.
