• the following combinations may be mentioned here by way of example:
• the washing liquor is mixed with PQAV components in the sense of the invention; after the washed goods have been separated off, the washing liquor used is fed to an additional cleaning step by means of PQAV.
• a partial stream of the wash liquor is withdrawn from the washing process batchwise or continuously during the washing process and passed through a process stage in which the dirt discharge takes place by means of heterogeneous PQAV components within the meaning of the invention, whereupon this partial stream is returned to the washing process in whole or in part can be.
• the principle of concomitant use of heterogeneous PQAV components can be used in the main washing process, but this principle can also only be implemented in the partial lye stream withdrawn.
• the washing and cleaning process for example in the context of a textile wash, can be divided into two areas.

They are used, for example, as builders or cobuilders for the surfactants. They have a wide range of tasks, the binding of calcium and / or magnesium ions from the present water hardness being mentioned as an example. The embodiment of the invention concerned here goes beyond this prior art:

• examples include insoluble components containing carboxyl groups, sulfonic acid residues, phosphonic acid groups and the like. It is known that components of this type are attributed to a strong increase in washing power in the primary washing process. The use of compounds of this type as water-soluble components in laundry detergents is widespread today, although there are certain reservations about their use. In the embodiment discussed here, the teaching of the invention provides for the use of such components in a heterogeneous solid phase and at the same time in such a way that it is possible to separate these solids with functional groups from the washing solution, so that the uncontrolled release of corresponding compounds into the waste water from the outset is excluded.
• the dirt collector used according to the invention can be used in any physical configuration that allows loading with dirt particles and nevertheless allows the possibility of manual and / or mechanical separation of the undissolved material from the washed goods and from the cleaning liquor.
• two physical forms of state come into consideration, namely use the PQAV or the correspondingly insoluble solid materials impregnated with PQAV in the form of larger, space-filling shaped bodies, for example as sheet-like structures, in particular as sheets, foils or as a cloth or in the form of filter bodies and, on the other hand, as finely divided solid, which is found, for example, in the wash liquor during the washing process can be dispersed, but after the washing process is removed with the wash liquor and thus separated from the washed goods and ultimately also from the cleaned wash liquor.
• the separate treatment of the dirt-laden washing liquor in a cleaning step in the sense of the invention provides, for example, the single or multiple passage of the liquid phase to be cleaned through a solid filter which contains the insoluble or immobilized PQAV on insoluble solids. Simultaneously with this or in separate cleaning steps, the aforementioned further insoluble auxiliary substances based on strongly oleophilic materials or based on polyanionic solids can be used.
• any insoluble materials of an inorganic and / or organic type are suitable as insoluble carrier materials for fixing PQAV and thus for the immobilization of these dirt-collecting active components.
• Suitable organic mate rialien are, for example, those of plant origin that can be more or less finely divided. Sawdust may be mentioned as an example of a particularly finely divided material; an example of suitable carrier materials of vegetable origin of a coarser nature are plant remains such as straw, wood shavings and the like. These carriers may have been subjected to a pretreatment to remove those portions which could give rise to problems in the subsequent treatment in detergent solutions.
• Suitable inorganic carriers are in particular insoluble and in particular finely divided salts, oxides, silicates and the like. These can be substances of natural and / or synthetic origin. Particularly suitable are, for example, aluminosilicates of the type of zeolites or zeolite-like compounds, in particular sodium zeolite A, which is widely used in detergents today. In its place, however, zeolite A can also be used in an exchanged form, for. B. find use as calcium salt.
• a particularly suitable mineral carrier class is swellable, finely divided substances of the type of clays and / or swellable layered silicates, in particular from the smectite class.
• Swellable inorganic minerals of this type are characterized by a particularly large surface when swollen. This leads to a considerable activation of the cleaning effect of the PQAV used.
• the outer surface of detergent-quality crystalline zeolite A is usually in the range of 3-4 m2 / g.

• those materials which are particularly suitable can also be have a much larger surface, as is the case, for example, in the case of smectite clays, in particular montmorillorite, hectorite and / or saponite. Specific surfaces of these materials can range up to or even exceed 700 m2 / g. In this case, particularly effective auxiliary substances for the absorption of the detached dirt are then given.
• the application and at the same time the activation of PQAV compounds can be promoted in particular by the fact that anion-surfactant components are also used here.
• the anionic surfactant can be applied to the carrier to be coated in a mixture with the PQAV, but it is also possible to first load the carrier with PQAV and then to treat the carrier prepared in this way with the anionic surfactant compound. It is also possible first to form an anionic-surfactant coating on the carrier and to deposit PQAV on it. In all cases it can be seen that the effectiveness of dirt traps prepared in this way is substantially increased.
• the anionic surfactant component is used at least in such an amount that a substantial proportion of the quaternary ammonium groups - for example at least about 50 mole percent - can react with the anionic surfactant. It may be preferred to use at least approximately equimolar amounts of anionic surfactant and PQAV, and in one embodiment of the invention it is possible to use the anionic surfactant in a stoichiometric excess in addition to the available quaternary ammonium groups.
• Particularly suitable anionic surfactants for this purpose are, for example, corresponding alcohol sulfates and / or alcohol ether sulfates, e.g. B.
• fatty alcohol sulfates and / or fatty alcohol ether sulfates which are derived from natural and / or synthetic fatty alcohols with in particular 10 - 22 C atoms, in particular 12 - 18 C atoms and have corresponding residues of ethylene glycol or ring-opened ethylene oxide as ether or polyether intermediate group.
• PQAV Polyfunctional quaternary ammonium compounds
• An important area of use for such compounds is in the field of cosmetic preparations, in particular for the treatment or conditioning of hair. It is a known characteristic of the PQAV that they are capable of being coated on solid surfaces, this capability being possible in particular in the presence of customary surfactant components.
• the absorbency and the adhesive strength of the PQAV on the solid base are different.
• the individual constitution of the PQAV plays a crucial role here. For the behavior of the PQAV under the influence of aqueous surfactant baths, however, the interaction with especially anionic surfactant components are of crucial importance.
• anionic surfactant salts With stoichiometric or approximately stoichiometric amounts of the anionic surfactant components, the corresponding anionic surfactant salt generally forms on the quaternary ammonium group.
• PQAV anionic surfactant salts generally show a greatly reduced water solubility. Corresponding precipitates form, see for example the German Offenlegungsschrift 22 42 914.
• anionic surfactant salts from PQAV have been proposed as antistatic agents for application to fibers. In this context, however, it is also known that excesses, in particular considerable excesses of the anionic surfactant, can lead to a redissolution of the primarily precipitated PQAV / anionic surfactant salts, cf.
• these previously known PQAV are oligomers and / or polymers which have a plurality or a plurality of quaternary ammonium groups on their oligomeric or polymeric matrix. Adequate water solubility of the PQAV is generally required for use in the field of cosmetics.
• the use of PQAV according to the invention calls for the insolubility of the PQAV-based auxiliaries used as dirt collectors in the aqueous surfactant washing or cleaning solutions.
• the insolubility of the PQAV components used as dirt collectors in the sense of the invention is in fact an indispensable prerequisite, in particular for the field of textile washing. If this critical precondition according to the invention is not met, the washing result is reversed to the contrary. Soluble PQAV components sliding into the wash bath draw towards this washing textile goods and bind there additional amounts of pigment dirt in an undesirable manner.
• Suitable originally water-soluble or also water-insoluble PQAV in the sense of the invention preferably have an average molecular weight of at least about 200, preferably at least about 300 and in particular at least about 1000.
• the upper limit of the PQAV is basically meaningless and is, for example, 10 million or even at far higher values. This is understandable from the requirement of the insolubility of the PQAV required according to the invention. If this is ensured, there are no upper limits to the molecular weight.
• PQAV immobilized on an insoluble carrier is suitable for all polymers which carry quaternary ammonium groups either in the polymer chain or bound to the polymer chain.
• quaternary ammonium groups can also be derived from cyclically bound nitrogen. Examples of such quaternary ammonium groups are corresponding members of 5- or 6-membered ring systems, for example of morpholine, piperidine, piperazine or indazole rings. Numerous examples of such water-soluble PQAV are described in more detail, for example, in US Pat. No. 4,240,450.
• Homopolymers or copolymers with cyclic units can be particularly suitable.
• Commercial products with this structure include Merquat (R) 100 and Marquart (R) 550 (Quaternium 41).
• PQAV poly(vinyl)-styrene resin

No. 4,157,388 and, for example, under the trade name Mirapol (R) A15 available quaternary polymeric urea derivatives.
• Suitable copolymers with a polycationic character are also the polyacrylamide copolymers described in the published European patent application 0 153 146, which, in addition to at least 50 mol% of acrylamide units, contain up to 50 mol% of a quaternized amino alkyl ester of acrylic acid or meth contain acrylic acid. These copolymers are water soluble. There they are applied to cloths based on cellulose fibers and are drawn up there due to their natural drawing power. Cloths of this type can be washed out and should then be used together with anionic surfactant-free surfactant systems for cleaning hard surfaces, in particular for cleaning glass. Under these conditions, they are characterized by an increased dirt absorption capacity.
• the cleaning wipes described in the publication are unsuitable for the use according to the invention in customary surfactant washing and cleaning liquors, which can also be exposed to temperature loads of up to about 95 ° C.
• Not inconsiderable proportions of the numerous PQAV copolymers described in the publication slip into the wash bath, pull onto the items to be cleaned and lead to increased pigment contamination. Only the conversion of such PQAVs to the physical state required according to the invention, as described below, makes them tools in the sense of the invention.
• Preferred PQAV as starting material are those compounds which, in solid form, cause difficulties in dissolving in water.
• Such cationic polymers are especially the cationic polygalactomannan derivatives known for example from GB-PS 1 136 842.
• Galactomannans are polysaccharides that occur in the endosperm cells of many legume seeds, but which are obtained on an industrial scale only from locust bean gum, guar gum and tara gum. They are made up of a linear Mannan main chain, consisting of beta- (1.4) -glycosidically linked mannopyranose building blocks, to which individual galactopyranose residues are fixed as branches in an alpha- (1.6) -glycosidic bond. The individual polygalactomannans differ mainly in the mannose-lactose ratio. The cationic derivatives of the polygalactomannans are produced by reacting hydroxyl groups of the polysaccharide with reactive quaternary ammonium compounds.
• Suitable reactive quaternary ammonium compounds are, for. B. those of the general formula in the R1, R2 and R3 z.

• the degree of substitution (DS) of Cosmedia Guar C 261 is about 0.07.
• the PQAV used are insoluble in the wash liquor under the conditions of use, so that the surface of the arbitrarily shaped agent can be loaded with dirt particles and hold it until the process is complete.
• insoluble PQAV There are several ways to obtain such insoluble PQAV. It is known, for example, to crosslink water-soluble PQAV by reaction with at least bifunctional crosslinking agents in such a way that water-insolubility which is sufficient for the purposes of the invention is achieved.
• the selection of the appropriate crosslinking agent is determined by the structure of the compounds to be crosslinked in the individual case, taking general chemical expertise into account.
• the surface of insoluble or insolubilized, shaped natural products and / or corresponding synthesis products can be removed by processes known per se chemical reaction with quaternary ammonium groups. Process steps are used for this, as are known in principle for the production of water-soluble and / or water-swellable PQAV from the literature cited at the beginning. This is exemplified as follows: A flat structure, for example a random fiber fleece or a woven or knitted cloth based on natural fibers and / or synthetic fibers, can be reacted with a coupling component e.g.
• B epichlorohydrin and subsequent reaction with a basic nitrogen compound with subsequent quaternization to the desired dirt-collecting liquor cleaner.
• a basic nitrogen compound with subsequent quaternization to the desired dirt-collecting liquor cleaner.
• Other suitable reactive quaternizing agents are the quaternary ammonium compounds with a reactive epoxy group described in connection with the aforementioned British Pat. No. 1 136 842, or their reaction products with hydrogen halide to form the associated halohydrin group.

• very low average degrees of substitution in the surface of the natural product or natural product derivative lead to effective results in the sense of the trade according to the invention.
• the embodiments which provide a water-insoluble carrier in flat or granular form, on the surface of which PQAV are applied by sufficient fixation in a preferably thin layer in such a way that they do not slide off into the wash bath during the washing process can also be of particular practical importance.
• the solidification of a polymeric PQAV coating on a shaped base body can be promoted by forming or having anionic groups in or on the surface of the base body.
• anionic groups are carboxyl groups, which can be introduced into the surface of the base body, for example by carboxymethylation, or other acid groups, such as sulfonic acid residues. Further information can be found, for example, in US Pat. No. 3,694,364.

• such fibers or carrier materials produced therefrom are coated with an insoluble PQAV layer and are therefore inextricably bonded for the intended use.
• a particularly simple, insoluble connection between the inert carrier and the insoluble PQAV layer applied can be achieved by implementing the so-called coating principle. If, for example, a fine-grained shape-shaped inert insoluble carrier with a PQAV layer - ideally covering the entire area - and then converting this PQAV layer to the required state of insolubility, the inseparable union between the inert support core and the enveloping PQAV layer is also realized here, even if there are no special binding forces between these two materials.
• the conversion of the PQAV layer to the insoluble material can, for example, take place again chemically by crosslinking this enveloping material layer.

• the respective working conditions are given in connection with the examples.
• Unfinished white cotton flaps (11 x 13 cm, approx. 2 g in weight) are drizzled with 2 g of the following active ingredient solution and then air-dried for several days: 0.5% by weight PQAV (Cosmedia Guar C 261) 53.6% by weight synthetic surfactant based on fatty alcohol ether (FAES) + (15% WAS, "Texapon N 25") 0.2% by weight preservative based on bromine-5-nitro-1,3-dioxane "Bronidox L”) 45.7 weight percent water
• PQAV contain cleaning enhancers and are used in laundering trials for repeated use of a wash liquor under standard washing conditions with standardized dirt tissue.
• Detergent dosage 5 g of a standard commercial detergent / l Launderometer conditions: 60 ° C, 16 ° ie, 10 steel balls, 30 minutes washing, 4 times 30 seconds rinsing Fleet ratio: 1: 30
• Loading In a first test series, two standardized dirt rags (H-SH-PBV) are washed together with two pieces of non-equipped filler fabric. In a parallel test, two corresponding standardized dirt rags (H-SH-PBV) are washed together with two filler fabrics that are equipped with the PQAV recipe specified above.
• Working and comparison conditions After the first wash cycle, the washed items are separated from the wash liquor, but the wash liquor is not discarded but saved for subsequent washing. The washing or lightening results set for the first wash are determined by determining the reflectance values.
• the two wash liquors separated from the first wash cycle are washed with the addition of new standardized dirty fabrics and the number of non-soiled filler fabrics comparable to the first wash cycle. Then the wash liquor is again separated from the washed goods and the lightening of the washed goods is measured by determining the reflectance values.
• the three washing liquors according to a), b) and c) are compared with regard to their washing action in multiple washing, ie in five successive washing tests, each with the same washing liquor, tested.
• the H-SH-PBV dirty fabrics to be cleaned are freshly used in these five successive washes.
• the PQAV used is fine-grain cellulose with an average degree of substitution (MS) of 0.05.
• a fatty alcohol ether sulfate (“Texapon N 50”) is again used as an additional anionic surfactant component.
• test series a) to g) and h) to n) are subdivided as follows:
• the blank values are determined with the pure detergent fleet a) or h).
• the additives (b to d or i to k) added during the first wash and then no longer renewed in the subsequent washes.
• washing liquors based on the powdered heavy-duty textile detergent "WMP” are used in a first series (1 to 3) and corresponding washing tests based on the liquid heavy-duty detergent "WMF” in a second series. used.
• the washing performance of the pure detergent liquor is compared with a corresponding liquor to which a predetermined amount of surfactant has been added and a second comparative liquor to which PQAV plus surfactant has been added.
• fine-grain cellulose (average particle diameter not larger than 50 ⁇ ) with an average degree of substitution (MS) of about 0.1 is used as PQAV.
• the co-surfactant used in this test series - test series 2/3 or 5/6 - is a fatty alcohol ethoxylate ("Dehydol LT 7").
• the working parameters used in all washing tests are as follows: Launderometer, 30 ° C, 16 ° dH, liquor 1:30, 10 steel balls, H-SH-PBV fabric, 30 minutes washing, 4 times 30 seconds rinsing 6 washes with the used washing liquor, but new test fabrics (on 2 H-SH-PBV / 2 filling fabrics).
• the composition of the washing liquors 1 to 6 is shown in Table 5 below.
• surfactant and PQAV are used together, present: PQAV, drizzle with surfactant (as a 10% solution), shake gently and let stand for approx. 10 minutes, then add the detergent solution.
• washing-active chemicals are inevitably removed from the fleet, so that the depletion of washing-active components that has finally occurred must lead to a breakdown of the washing power.
• Cellulose powder with an average particle size below 50 ⁇ is quaternized to an average degree of substitution (MS) of 0.05 with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride.
• the dosage of the commercial textile detergent is 3 g / l in both cases.
• the PQAV is added to the wash liquor without prior activation by means of surfactant treatment.
