Abstract
Description
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine schwerentflammbare, biologisch abbaubare funktionellen Flüssigkeit, namentlich eine Hydraulikflüssigkeit, die als wesentlichen Be-standteil ein Brombenzolderivat enthält.The invention is a flame-retardant biodegradable functional fluid, especially a hydraulic fluid, the e-stand part contains as an essential B a bromobenzene derivative.
Chlorierte Aromaten, insbesondere chlorierte Biphenyle, haben in den letzten Jahrzehnten einen bedeutenden Platz in weiten Bereichen der Technik eingenommen. Besonders die polychlorierten Biphenyle wurden in großem Umfang als Hydraulikflüssigkeiten, als Isolationsflüssigkeiten für elektrische Anlagen und als flammhemmende Zusätze für Kunststoffe und dergleichen eingesetzt. Indessen sind in den letzten Jahren diese Verbindungen in erheblichen Verruf geraten. Es wurde schwere gesundheits- und umweltschädigende Wirkungen dieser Produkte festgestellt, wobei katastrophenartige Gefahren möglich sind, wenn es zu Bränden kommt, da hierbei hochgiftige Dioxine und Dibenzofurane gebildet werden können. Dies hat dazu geführt, daß die Herstellung oder zumindest die Verwendung solcher Verbindungen von den staatlichen Aufsichtsorganen zum Teil schon völlig verboten wurde und zum Teil gravierende Vorschriften erlassen wurden, die die Verwendung dieser Stoffe einschränken sollen.Chlorinated aromatics, especially chlorinated biphenyls, have played an important role in a wide range of technology in recent decades. The polychlorinated biphenyls in particular have been widely used as hydraulic fluids, as insulation fluids for electrical systems and as flame-retardant additives for plastics and the like. In the meantime, however, these connections have been badly discredited. Serious health and environmental effects of these products have been identified, and catastrophic hazards are possible if there is a fire, since this can form highly toxic dioxins and dibenzofurans. This has resulted in the fact that the production or at least the use of such compounds has already been completely banned by the state supervisory bodies and that severe regulations have been enacted to restrict the use of these substances.
Zur Überwindung dieser Nachteile wird in der europäischen Patentanmeldung Nr. 88 650 vorgeschlagen, als Schmiermittel, die auch als Hydraulikflüssigkeiten eingesetzt werden können, chlorierte Benzyltoluole und chlorierte Benzylxylole einzusetzen, da diese Verbindungen schwer entflammbar und oxidationsbeständig und daneben biologisch abbaubar sein und im Hinblick auf ihr toxisches Verhalten Vorteile aufweisen sollen.To overcome these disadvantages, it is proposed in European Patent Application No. 88 650 to use chlorinated benzyltoluenes and chlorinated benzylxylenes as lubricants, which can also be used as hydraulic fluids, since these compounds are flame-retardant and resistant to oxidation and, besides, are biodegradable and with regard to them toxic behavior should have advantages.
Die GB-PS 1 504 655 beschreibt elektrische Vorrichtungen, die biologisch leicht abbaubare dielektrische Flüssigkeiten enthalten, nämlich halogenierte Diphenylmethane, die dadurch gekennzeichnet sind, daß die Halogensubstituenten und etwaige Alkylsubstituenten nur in einem der beiden Phenylringe vorliegen, während der andere Phenylring unsubstituiert sein muß, wobei angegeben ist, daß nur solche halogenierten Diphenylmethane, die eine unsbustituierte Phenylgruppe aufweisen, leicht biologisch abgebaut werden können, während die an beiden Phenylresten substituierten Diphenylmethane dem mikrobiologischen Abbau widerstehen sollen.GB-PS 1 504 655 describes electrical devices which contain readily biodegradable dielectric liquids, namely halogenated diphenylmethanes, which are characterized in that the halogen substituents and any alkyl substituents are only present in one of the two phenyl rings, while the other phenyl ring must be unsubstituted, where it is stated that only those halogenated diphenylmethanes which have an unsubstituted phenyl group can readily be biodegraded, while the diphenylmethanes substituted on both phenyl radicals are intended to resist microbiological degradation.
Die ältere deutsche Patentanmeldung 34 02 863 beschreibt bromhaltige Benzyltoluol-Derivate, die als funktionelle Flüssigkeiten, beispielsweise Hydraulikflüssigkeiten oder Isolationsflüssigkeiten für elektrische Vorrichtungen eingesetzt werden können und die sich dadurch auszeichnen, daß sie eine günstige Umweltverträglichkeit besitzen, indem das Benzyltoluolgerüst im Vergleich zu dem Biphenylgerüst der üblicherweise für diese Zwecke eingesetzten halogenierten Biphenyle biologisch leichter abbaubar ist.The older German patent application 34 02 863 describes bromine-containing benzyltoluene derivatives which can be used as functional fluids, for example hydraulic fluids or insulating fluids for electrical devices, and which are distinguished by the fact that they have a favorable environmental compatibility in that the benzyltoluene skeleton in comparison with the biphenyl skeleton Halogenated biphenyls commonly used for these purposes are more readily biodegradable.
Die DE-OS 15 94 505 beschreibt funktionelle Flüssigkeitszubereitungen, die eine größere Menge eines dihalogenierten Diphenylethers und eine kleinere Menge weiterer Mischungsbestandteile enthält, die aus halogenierten nie-drigalkyl-substituierten Benzolen, monohalogenierten Diphenylethern und chlorierten Biphenylen und Mischungen davon ausgewählt sind. Als halogenierte Niedrigalkylbenzole sind solche mit 1 bis 5 Halogenatomen und 1 bis 4 Kohlenstoffatomen in der Alkylgruppe angegeben, wobei von diesen als kleinerer Mischungsbestandteil einzusetzenden Verbindungen Dibromethylbenzol bevorzugt scheint. Über die alleinige Verwendung solcher Verbindungen oder über ihre biologische Abbaubarkeit ist in dieser Druckschrift nichts gesagt.DE-OS 15 94 505 describes functional liquid preparations which contain a larger amount of a dihalogenated diphenyl ether and a smaller amount of further mixture constituents which are selected from halogenated nie-drigalkyl-substituted benzenes, monohalogenated diphenyl ethers and chlorinated biphenyls and mixtures thereof. As the halogenated Niedrigalkylbenzole such are indicated by 1 to 5 halogen atoms and 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, and of these smaller than M ischungsbestandteil compounds to be employed dibromoethylbenzene preferably appears. About the sole use of such compounds or nothing is said in this document about their biodegradability.
Schließlich offenbart die US-PS 2 257 903 nichtbrennbare flüssige Zubereitungen, die als Wärmeübertragungsflüssigkeiten, Dielektrika, feuerlöschende Mittel und flammfest machende Mittel eingesetzt werden können. Diese flüssigen Zubereitungen bestehen im wesentlichen aus Mischungen von am Kern bromierten Monoethylbenzolen mit einem Bromgehalt zwischen etwa 2,0 und etwa 3,0 Atomen Brom pro Mol Ethylbenzol. Über die biologische Abbaubarkeit dieser Materialien finden sich keine Angaben.Finally, U.S. Patent No. 2,257,903 discloses non-flammable liquid preparations which can be used as heat transfer liquids, dielectrics, fire extinguishing agents and flame retardants. These liquid preparations consist essentially of mixtures of brominated monoethylbenzenes with a bromine content of between about 2.0 and about 3.0 atoms of bromine per mole of ethylbenzene. No information is available on the biodegradability of these materials.
Die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten funktionellen Flüssigkeiten können nicht in vollem Umfang befriedigen, weil sie nicht alle kriterien einer schwerentflammbaren funktionellen Flüssigkeit, namentlich Hydraulikflüssigkeit, erfüllen können, nämlich wirtschaftliche Herstellung, biologische Abbaubarkeit, geringe Toxizität der Flüssigkeit oder ihrer Zersetzungsprodukte und dergleichen.The functional fluids known from the prior art cannot fully satisfy because they cannot meet all the criteria of a flame-resistant functional fluid, namely hydraulic fluid, namely economical production, biodegradability, low toxicity of the fluid or its decomposition products and the like.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht nun darin, funktionelle Flüssigkeiten anzugeben, die neben den für das angestrebte Einsatzgebiet technologischen Kriterien auch die toxikologischen und wirtschaftlichen Anforderun- gen erfüllen.The object of the present invention is now to provide functional fluids that meet only the technological for the intended application criteria, the toxicological and economic A nforderun- gen.
Es hat sich nun überraschenderweise gezeigt, daß eine bestimmte kleine Gruppe von Brombenzolderivaten nicht nur auf der einen Seite wertvolle technische Eigenschaften besitzt, sondern andererseits auch nicht die Gefahren und umweltschädigenden Wirkungen mit sich bringt, die den für funtkionelle Flüssigkeiten eingesetzten vorbekannten Verbindungen eigen sind, so daß sie sich besonders gut als oder für funktionelle Flüssigkeiten eignet. Gegenstand der Erfindung ist daher die schwerentflammbare, biologisch abbaubare funktionelle Flüssigkeit gemäß Hauptanspruch. Die Unteransprüche betreffen besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsformen dieses Erfindungsgegenstandes.Surprisingly, it has now been shown that a certain small group of bromobenzene derivatives not only has valuable technical properties on the one hand, but on the other hand does not have the dangers and environmentally damaging effects inherent in the known compounds used for functional liquids, so that it is particularly suitable as or for functional liquids. The invention therefore relates to the flame-retardant, biodegradable functional liquid according to the main claim. The subclaims relate to particularly preferred embodiments of this subject matter of the invention.
Die Erfindung betrifft somit eine schwerentflammbare, biologisch abbaubare funktionelle Flüssigkeit, bestehend aus oder enthaltend mindestens ein Brombenzolderivat der allgemeinen Formel (I)
Vorzugsweise enthält die funktionelle Flüssigkeit als Brombenzolderivat ein Brombenzolderivat der allgemeinen Formel (II)
Die erfindungsgemäß als oder in funktionellen Flüssigkeiten eingesetzten Bromtoluolderivate können in Form von reinen Verbindungen, in Form von Isomerengemischen oder auch in Form von Gemischen mit Verbindungen unterschiedlichen Bromierungsgrads eingesetzt werden, wobei mit Vorteil die Auswahl so erfolgt, daß die eingesetzten Bromtoluolderivate einen Bromgehalt von etwa 60 Gew.-% aufweisen, um besonders schwer entflammbare funktionelle Flüssigkeiten zu ergeben, und andererseits innerhalb eines relativ großen Temperaturbereichs von vorzugsweise -25°C bis 220°C flüssig sind. Die letztere Bedingung läßt sich ohne weiteres durch die Anwendung von Isomerengemischen erfüllen.The bromotoluene derivatives used as or in functional liquids according to the invention can be used in the form of pure compounds, in the form of isomer mixtures or also in the form of mixtures with compounds of different degrees of bromination, the selection advantageously being made so that the bromotoluenes used have a bromine content of about 60 % By weight have, in order to give particularly flame-resistant functional liquids, and on the other hand are liquid within a relatively wide temperature range of preferably -25 ° C to 220 ° C. The latter condition can easily be met by using mixtures of isomers.
Mit Vorteil verwendet man erfindungsgemäß als Brombenzolderivat ein bei der Bromierung von Benzol anfallendes Gemisch von Brombenzolderivaten. Besonders bevorzugt setzt man solche Gemische von einem oder mehreren Brombenzolderivaten ein, die 1 bis 3 Bromatome als Kernsubstituenten aufweisen.Advantageously, according to the invention, a bromobenzene derivative used in the bromination of benzene is a mixture of bromobenzene derivatives. Mixtures of one or more bromobenzene derivatives which have 1 to 3 bromine atoms as core substituents are particularly preferably used.
Als überraschend und besonders vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, als Brombenzolderivat Dibromtoluolderivate einzusetzen, die in Form der reinen Isomeren oder auch in Form von Isomerengemischen eingesetzt werden können. Die Dibromtoluole haben sich als besonders gut für funktionelle Flüssigkeiten geeignet erwiesen, da sie einerseits hervorragende technologische Eigenschaften aufweisen, die für die Anwendung in oder als funktionelle Flüssigkeiten erforderlich sind, und andererseits ein unerwartet gutes Umweltverhalten zeigen, d. h. als solche ein sehr geringe Toxizität besitzen, beim Erhitzen keine giftigen Zersetzungsprodukte, wie hochgiftige Dioxinderivate ergeben und darüber hinaus leicht biologisch abgebaut werden können. Weiterhin zeigen sie im Hinblick auf ihr Brandverhalten, ihr Viskositäts-Temperatur-Verhalten, ihre Verträglichkeit mit üblicherweise eingesetzten Dichtelementmaterialien und im Hinblick auf ihr korrosives Verhalten vorteilhafte Eigenschaften, die sie für die angestrebte Verwendung besonders gut geeignet erscheinen lassen. Da gerade bezüglich des überraschenden Umweltverhaltens der erfindungsgemäß ausgewählten Brombenzolderivate und namentlich der Dibromtoluolderivate dem Stand der Technik, der eine große Vielzahl von möglichen halogenierten und bromierten Verbindungen zum Einsatz in oder als funktionelle Flüssigkeiten offenbart, keinerlei Angaben entnommen werden können, stellt die hier vorgenommene Auswahl eine erhebliche Bereicherung der Technik dar.It has proven to be surprising and particularly advantageous to use dibromotoluene derivatives as bromobenzene derivative, which can be used in the form of the pure isomers or in the form of isomer mixtures. The dibromotoluenes have proven to be particularly well suited for functional liquids, since on the one hand they have excellent technological properties which are necessary for use in or as functional liquids and on the other they show unexpectedly good environmental behavior, ie as such they have very low toxicity, no toxic decomposition products when heated, such as highly toxic dioxin derivatives, and moreover can be easily biodegraded. With regard to their fire behavior, their viscosity-temperature behavior, their compatibility with commonly used sealing element materials and their corrosive behavior, they also show advantageous properties which make them particularly suitable for the intended use. Because of the surprising environmental behavior of the bromobenzene derivatives selected in accordance with the invention and in particular of the dibromotoluene derivatives, this is the state of the art, which a large variety of possible halogenated and brominated compounds for use in or as functional liquids, no information can be obtained, the selection made here represents a significant enrichment of the technology.
Mit Vorteil kann man erfindungsgemäß die Brombenzolderivate und insbesondere die Dibromtoluole in Form des bei der Bromierung von Toluol anfallenden Gemisches einsetzen, wobei man diese Verbindungen oder auch diese Gemische mit Vorteil auch mit anderen bromierten Verbindungen kombinieren kann, wie insbesondere Dibromethylbenzol und/oder Dibromcumol. In dieser Weise wird es namentlich durch die Anwendung von Gemischen der erfindungsgemäß ausgewählten Verbindungen und den genannten anderen Verbindungen möglich, die Viskositäts-Temperatur-Eigenschaften der funktionellen Flüssigkeit auf das Einsatzgebiet anzupassen.According to the invention, the bromobenzene derivatives and in particular the dibromotoluenes can advantageously be used in the form of the mixture obtained in the bromination of toluene, it being possible for these compounds or also these mixtures to be advantageously combined with other brominated compounds, such as, in particular, dibromethylbenzene and / or dibromocumol. In this way, the use of mixtures of the compounds selected according to the invention and the other compounds mentioned makes it possible to adapt the viscosity-temperature properties of the functional liquid to the area of use.
Neben den Brombenzolderivaten kann die erfindungsgemäße schwerentflammbare, biologisch abbaubare funktionelle Flüssigkeit noch für solche funktionelle Flüssigkeiten übliche Additive und Zusätze enthalten, wobei die Brombenzolderivate vorzugsweise in einer Menge von mindestens 35 Gew.-% vorhanden sind.In addition to the bromobenzene derivatives, the flame-retardant, biodegradable functional liquid according to the invention may also contain additives and additives customary for such functional liquids, the bromobenzene derivatives preferably being present in an amount of at least 35% by weight.
Als Additive und Zusätze dieser Art kann man beispielsweise Korrosionsschutzmittel, wie Erdalkalisulfonate, Stabilisatoren, wie Aminderivate oder phenolische Produkte, verschleißmindernde Zusätze, beispielsweise Zinkdialkyldithiophosphate, Säureakzeptoren, beispielsweise Epoxidverbindungen, Tetraphenylzinn usw., Entschäumer, wie Seifen, Silicone, Glykole, Phosphatester und dergleichen, Viskositätsindexverbesserer, wie Polymethacrylate oder Polyisobutylen und dergleichen, einsetzen. Weiterhin können die erfindungsgemäßen funktionellen Flüssigkeiten mit vielen geeigneten Produkten, wie beispielsweise Mineralölen, Glykolen etc., modifiziert werden.Additives and additives of this type include, for example, corrosion inhibitors, such as alkaline earth metal sulfonates, stabilizers, such as amine derivatives or phenolic products, wear-reducing additives, for example zinc dialkyldithiophosphates, acid acceptors, for example epoxy compounds, tetraphenyltin, etc., defoamers, such as soaps, silicones, glycols, phosphates and phosphate esters. Use viscosity index improvers such as polymethacrylates or polyisobutylene and the like. Furthermore, the functional liquids according to the invention can be used with many suitable products, such as for example, mineral oils, glycols, etc., are modified.
Die erfindungsgemäß eingesetzten Brombenzolderivate, die zum Teil bekannt sind, erhält man durch an sich bekanntes Bromieren von Benzol bzw. Alkylbenzol mit elementarem Brom in Gegenwart eines bekannten Halogenierungskatalysators, wie beispielsweise Eisen, Eisentrichlorid, Eisentribromid oder dergleichen. Dabei kann die Umsetzung bei Zimmertemperatur durchgeführt werden, wobei jedoch in Abhängigkeit vom jeweiligen Katalysator beispielsweise auch Temperaturen zwischen -5 und +40°C geeignet sind.The bromobenzene derivatives used according to the invention, some of which are known, are obtained by brominating benzene or alkylbenzene with elemental bromine, known per se, in the presence of a known halogenation catalyst, such as iron, iron trichloride, iron tribromide or the like. The reaction can be carried out at room temperature, but depending on the catalyst in question, temperatures between -5 and + 40 ° C are also suitable.
Das folgende Herstellungsbeispiel dient der Erläuterung der Herstellung des erfindungsgemäß bevorzugt eingesetzten Dibromtoluols.The following preparation example serves to explain the preparation of the dibromotoluene which is preferably used according to the invention.
Man erwärmt ein Gemisch aus 174 g Toluol und 4 g Eisenpulver auf 45°C. Dann tropft man unter Rühren langsam 544,6 g (3,4 Mol) elementares Brom zu und arbeitet nach dem Anspringen der Reaktion bei 22°C weiter. Nach Beendigung der Zugabe rührt man während weiterer 30 Minuten bei 45°C, wäscht dann das Reaktionsgemisch mit je 300 ml einer 2,5 %-igen Natriumdisulfitlösung, einer 10 %-igen Natriumhydroxidlösung und Wasser und trocknet anschließend.A mixture of 174 g of toluene and 4 g of iron powder is heated to 45 ° C. Then 544.6 g (3.4 mol) of elemental bromine are slowly added dropwise with stirring and the reaction is continued at 22 ° C. after the reaction has started. After the addition is complete, the mixture is stirred at 45 ° C. for a further 30 minutes, then the reaction mixture is washed with 300 ml portions of a 2.5% sodium disulfite solution, a 10% sodium hydroxide solution and water and then dried.
