Definitions

  • the invention relates to methods for the wet treatment of laundry according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • treating liquid containing washing-active substances.
  • the treatment liquid which is not bound in the laundry, the so-called free liquor, separated from the laundry.
  • the treatment liquid then contains spent washing-active substances which have absorbed the dirt from the laundry items, but also unused washing-active substances.
  • a process for the treatment of wastewater from, for example, a textile laundry is known.
  • used treatment liquid is filtered to separate spent washing-active substances from unused washing-active substances.
  • the unused washing-active substances having Treatment liquid is returned to the washing process after previously adding fresh detergent.
  • a targeted dosing of detergents is not provided, so that it can lead to an uneconomical overdose.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a method for wet treatment of laundry, which has a greater economy compared to known methods.
  • a method for achieving this object comprises the measures of claim 1. Accordingly, spent washing-active substances are removed from the treatment liquid separated from the laundry. The spent washing-active substances bind the dirt that the treatment liquid has taken from the previous washing process. By removing the used washing-active substances, the dirt is thus at least for the most part removed from the treatment liquid. The treatment liquid with the remaining unused washing-active substances can then be reused for a subsequent washing process. As a result, unused washing-active substances are not lost and they also need not be neutralized for draining the treatment liquid into the sewage network. Above all, due to the method according to the invention, the fresh water consumption can be reduced, because the treatment liquid with the unused washing-active substances can be used again for washing the laundry items.
  • the treatment liquids that are at least largely freed of spent detergent substances will be supplied to the laundry items as needed before the pre-wash and / or before the final wash.
  • the higher-temperature treatment liquid from the previous clear-wash may be recycled after separating spent wash-active substances, while the treatment liquid from the pre-wash is returned to the pre-wash.
  • the respective treatment liquids no significant energy needs to be supplied in order to use them again.
  • the colder treatment liquid from the pre-wash need not be heated to be supplied to the clear wash.
  • At least one return line of treatment liquid from the drum which is returned to the beginning of the drum, is assigned a filter for removing spent washing-active substances from the treatment liquid. It can thus be the entire treatment liquid, which is obtained during the washing of the laundry items, freed of washed laundry substances before rinsing the laundry items.
  • treatment liquid is applied after prewashing and clear washing. The spent washing-active substances are then removed from these separately obtained treatment liquids before the treatment liquid is used again for washing.
  • laundry-active substances are consumed from the treatment liquid separated from the laundry after washing and also from the dehydrator before rinsing in the dehydrator Remove separated treatment liquid.
  • This two-stage removal of the spent wash-active substances from the treatment liquid optimally provides spent washing-active substances with essentially only existing unused washing-active substances therein for a subsequent washing operation, in particular for a washing operation with a separate pre-wash and clear wash , The fresh water requirement is thereby only a fraction of the treatment liquid required for the subsequent washing process, wherein, if necessary, only the actually used washing-active substances are to be replaced.
  • the spent wash-active substances are separated from the treatment liquid by filtration, preferably precision filtration. Since spent washing-active substances have a particle size that exceeds the particle size of unused washing-active substances due to the dirt pick-up, a separation between the unused and used washing-active substances can be carried out by filtration. Because the particle sizes differ only slightly, above all only in the micrometer range, precision filtration is particularly suitable for effectively removing at least a majority of the spent washing-active substances from the treatment liquid.
  • An advantageous development of the method provides for a prefiltration to be carried out before filtering out used washing-active substances from the treatment liquid.
  • This prefiltration eliminates large particles of dirt which, when subsequently filtering out used washing-active substances, in particular by means of precision filtration, can no longer have a disturbing effect by loading or even adding to the sensitive filters for precision filtration.
  • a particularly effective and reliable filtration of at least a majority of the smaller spent washing-active substances is possible.
  • the removal of spent washing-active substances from the treatment liquid is expediently carried out by micro- and / or ultrafiltration.
  • specifically used wash-active substances can be removed from the treatment liquid.
  • These are preferably particles with a size between 10 .mu.m and 0.005 .mu.m, preferably 1 .mu.m to 0.5 .mu.m. This is the typical particle size of spent washing-active substances, so that in this way at least a large part of the used washing-active substances is removed, but not the smaller unused washing-active substances.
  • the measurement of unused washing-active substances can be carried out by a so-called bubble tensiometer, for example a H 2 O 2 sensor or a CI_ sensor.
  • a so-called bubble tensiometer for example a H 2 O 2 sensor or a CI_ sensor.
  • Other measuring methods or sensors suitable for the particle size of unused washing-active substances are also possible.
  • the replenishment of fresh washing-active substances is done to such an extent that the treatment liquid again has a content of unused washing-active substances, which corresponds to the nominal content of unused washing-active substances in the treatment liquid or slightly above, preferably in a deliberately selected excess spectrum.
