Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the preparation of readily thickenable surfactants from the group of the alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium or alkyl ammonium salts of alkyl polyethoxy ether sulfates and the alkyl polyethoxy ether sulfates which can be prepared therewith and their use.
  • Alkyl polyethoxy ether sulfates which are generally referred to as ether sulfates for short, especially those made from (2 - to (44 - alcohols with degrees of ethoxylation from 1 to 4) show good foaming power with good dermatological compatibility and are therefore used, for example, in manual Dishwashing detergents and a large number of cosmetic products, among which foam baths and hair shampoos should be mentioned first, are accessible by sulfating ethoxylated alcohols and subsequent neutralization of the sulfuric acid half-esters formed with suitable bases, for example aqueous sodium hydroxide solution
  • Starting ethoxylates which are formed by the addition of ethylene oxide to alcohols, are usually mixtures with a more or less broad distribution of products of different degrees of ethoxylation, which are commonly referred to as homologous ethoxylates, which can be obtained using suitable sulfating agents ln, for which, for example, sulfuric acid, oleum, amidosulfonic acid
  • ether sulfates After neutralization of the sulfuric acid half-esters resulting from the sulfation reaction, the ether sulfates are generally obtained in the form of concentrated aqueous solutions.
  • aqueous solutions of these surfactants are often required in relatively low concentrations, but should be viscous because of the easier dosage. This is normally achieved by adding electrolytes, it being understood that it is of interest to keep the amount of these auxiliaries which have no surface activity as low as possible.
  • the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of alkyl polyethoxy ether sulfates of the general formula (I),
  • R represents an alkyl or alkenyl radical with 8 to 22 C atoms
  • n for numbers from 1 to 20
  • X for an alkali or alkaline earth metal ion, an ammonium or substituted ammonium radical, from alkyl ethers of the general formula (II ),
  • the invention furthermore relates to the alkyl polyethoxy ether sulfates of the general formula (I) obtainable by this process.
  • the ether sulfates according to the invention prepared by the process according to the invention can be thickened much more effectively by adding a conventional thickener, for example sodium chloride, than according to the findings of the literature (Res. Discl. 351 (1981), 202) , according to which ether sulfates with a narrow homolog distribution show a lower viscosity than those with a broad homolog Distribution that was expected.
  • the ether sulfates produced by the process according to the invention show a pronounced maximum thickening when thickeners are added, the maximum value of the viscosity being clearly above the maximum values of the ether sulfates produced by other processes.
  • the ether sulfates according to the invention are notable for the fact that they contain only very small amounts of dermatologically unacceptable alkyl sulfates and, for toxicological reasons, 1,4-dioxane which is undesirable.
  • the polyethers to be used in the process according to the invention for the preparation of ether sulfates are ethoxylated by the corresponding alcohols according to the process described in the unpublished European patent application EP 339 426 in the presence of preferably 0.1 to 2% by weight of a calcined product Hydrotalcite catalyst produced.
  • this disclosure is therefore expressly made the subject of the present application.
  • Addition of the required amount of ethylene oxide gives alkyl polyethoxy ethers from alcohols of the general formula (III) which follow the general formula (II). They have a narrow homolog distribution, that is to say the distribution of the homologous products which differ in their degree of ethoxylation has a sharply pronounced maximum around which the homologues are grouped in close proximity.
  • hydrotalcite catalysts used for the preparation of the polyethoxylates to be used in the process according to the invention are compounds of the general formula (IV)
  • the hydrotalcite catalysts are activated by calcination in accordance with the unpublished European patent application EP 339426 at about 300%. 600 ° C over a period of 4 to 8 hours.
  • the ethoxylation of alkanols using the hydrotalcite catalysts is carried out according to EP 339 426, preferably at pressures of about 4 to 5 bar and temperatures of about 140-200 ° C.
  • the alcohols of the formula (III) required for the preparation of the polyethoxylates to be used in the process according to the invention are preferably straight-chain primary alcohols or mixtures thereof, as can be obtained, for example, by reduction of naturally occurring fatty acids or their derivatives, or branched-chain alcohols, especially those Oxo alcohols which can be prepared by hydroformylation.
  • suitable saturated alcohols are octyl, decyl, lauryl, myristyl, cetyl, stearyl and behenyl alcohol;
  • Suitable unsaturated alcohols include palmitoleyl, oleyl, elaidyl and erucalcohol.
  • suitable representatives of suitable branched chain alcohols are 2-ethylhexanol, isononyl alcohol, 2-hexyldecanol, 2-methyldodecanol and 2-0ctyldodecanol.
  • the process according to the invention for the preparation of ether sulfates of the general formula (I) consists of the two successive steps of the actual sulfation, which results in products consisting entirely or predominantly of sulfuric acid half-esters, and the subsequent neutralization of these sulfuric acid semiesters.
  • customary sulfating reagents for example sulfuric acid, oleum, idosulfonic acid, chlorosulfonic acid and in particular gaseous sulfur trioxide in a mixture with an inert gas
