Definitions
- the present invention relates to a washing machine with a decolorizing device and a method for washing textile substrates in such a washing machine.
- Photoactivator and oxygen are subjected and irradiated during this treatment process with visible light.
- a method is not useful for the treatment of dyed textile substrates, in particular for suppressing the dyeing process, since not only in the wash liquor dissolved dyes are attacked by the treatment, but also the bonded to the textile substrates dyes and the textile substrates characterized in bleach undesirable and lose color.
- Washing machine provided a water tank.
- the water contained in the tank is electrolyzed by an electrolysis unit, whereby it accumulates with oxidative radicals, which are highly reactive and thus have, inter alia, a cleaning and disinfecting effect.
- the thus treated water is then fed to the actual washing process.
- the disadvantage here is that the textile substrates to be washed come into contact with the electrolyzed water during the washing process. As a result, not only impurities in the textile substrates, but also the dyes bonded to the textile substrates are attacked, which can lead to an undesirable fading of the colors.
- WO-A-01/71083 discloses a washing machine having a drum for receiving articles to be washed, the drum having at least two rotatable drum sections and a drive, the drum comprising a plurality of different drum modes including a mode in which the rotatable drum parts are driven to effect relative rotation between them.
- a controller controls the apparatus to execute a plurality of different wash programs, each wash program having an associated drum mode.
- WO 2010/094959 A1 relates to the cleaning of substrates using a
- Solvent-free cleaning system that requires the use of only small amounts of water.
- the book deals with the cleaning of textile fibers with the help of such a system, and provides an apparatus for use in this context.
- WO-A-2007/128962 enables the efficient separation of the substrate from polymer particles upon completion of the cleaning process and describes a design for using two internal drums.
- Object of the present invention is therefore the provision of simple and
- Washing process is minimized in a washing machine while sparing the textile substrates to be washed in the presence of water-insoluble solid particles.
- a washing machine (1) having a washing chamber (2) for receiving a wash liquor and to be cleaned textile substrates, a reservoir for a plurality of water-insoluble solid particles and a decolorizing device (3) via an inlet (4) for introducing washing liquor from the washing chamber (2) into the decolorizing device (3) and via an outlet (5) for discharging washing liquor from the decolorizing device (3) into the washing chamber (2), and the above
- at least one activating agent which is suitable for initiating a process for forming free radicals in the washing liquor within the decolorizing device (3).
- washing machine for example, a rectangular washing machine with a capacity of about 1 to 20 kg, in particular 4 to 9 kg, laundry, but also to act as an industrially applicable washing machine with any capacity. So fall also washing machine types with different construction and significantly greater capacity under the invention.
- the washing chamber In the washing chamber is that space which is traversed by wash liquor during a wash cycle. In a household washing machine, this is generally a washing drum and the immediately surrounding space.
- the dyes which have been transferred to the wash liquor during a washing process can be decomposed by free radicals.
- Free radicals have at least one unpaired electron and are therefore extremely reactive and therefore mostly short-lived (usually ⁇ 1s). They are able to react with the dyes dissolved in the wash liquor and thus to decompose them.
- the decomposition of the dye Acid Orange 7 is called, which by the interaction with free radicals in colorless aromatic By-products are decomposed, which in turn are converted by oxidation in aliphatic acids.
- Decolorization in which the enriched with dissolved dyes wash liquor from the wash chamber can be introduced.
- the activating agent is arranged, which is suitable for initiating a process for the formation of free radicals in the washing liquor within the decolorizing device.
- the formed free radicals attack the dyes in the wash liquor and decompose them.
- the wash liquor treated in this way is then removed again from the decolorizing device and introduced into the washing chamber and fed to the further washing process in the washing machine.
- the proportion of dissolved dyes in the total washing liquor located in the wash chamber is thus significantly reduced and thereby minimizes the risk of textile discoloration.
- Destaining can be done exclusively the treatment of the wash liquor and / or the water-soluble solid particles; an undesirable influence of the reactive free radicals on the textile substrates in the washing chamber, generally in a washing drum, and the dyes bound in these are not possible or largely excluded.
- washing chamber are for this purpose such that textile substrates can not get into the decolorization.
- the inlet and / or the outlet of the decolorizing device can be equipped, for example, with suitable filters or grids, which are passable not for textile substrates, but for the washing liquor and optionally for the water-insoluble solid particles.
- the dimensions, in particular the cross-sectional area of the inlet and / or the outlet can be dimensioned so that an entry of textile substrates into the decolorizing device is not possible.
- a control of the inlet and outlet devices may also be provided to control these in time and thus to transport only the desired components in or out.
- the length of the inlet and in particular of the outlet of the decolorization unit is dimensioned such that, taking into account the average flow rate of the wash liquor through the decolorizing device and the average life of the free radicals, it can be assumed that virtually no in the treated wash liquor upon exiting the decolorizing device free radicals are more present.
- the wash liquor is generally a wash liquor in which a
- Detergent is dissolved in water. Depending on the requirements, other components can be added to this wash liquor. In certain applications, pure water or other suitable liquids may be used. Ingredients commercially available
- the activating agent comprises a UV radiation source, i. the process of forming free radicals in the decolorizer is initiated by UV irradiation.
- the wash liquor used in this embodiment is a wash liquor which contains additional chemical components such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or titanium dioxide (T1O2).
- H2O2 hydrogen peroxide
- T1O2 titanium dioxide
- the UV radiation emitted by the radiation source in the decolorizing device activates the hydrogen peroxide or titanium dioxide contained in the wash liquor, and as the short-lived products of this reaction, highly reactive hydroxyl radicals (OH radicals) which are capable of forming the dyes in to decompose the wash liquor.
- the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the liquid fraction of the wash liquor is preferably 0.1 to 50 mmol / L, more preferably 1 to 20 mmol / L.
- the liquid content of the wash liquor is understood as the proportion of the entire wash liquor including the
- water-insoluble solid particles obtained by centrifuging 8 kg of the washing water containing the solid water-insoluble particles for 5 minutes in a centrifuge having a horizontally mounted cylindrical rotating body of 515 mm inner diameter and 370 mm inner depth at 1400 revolutions per minute, the water-insoluble solid particles Minute separates from the liquid portion.
- UV radiation source a quartz lamp or a UV light emitting diode can be used.
- other UV radiation sources such as sunlight, gas discharge lamps,
- UV radiation sources (6) are a quartz lamp, sunlight, LEDs or a UV light emitting diode.
- a UV radiation source is present as the activating agent
- that source is placed in the decolorizing device and / or that the decolorizing device is designed such that the washing chamber is not exposed to direct UV radiation, more preferably no UV radiation is used. Radiation is exposed so that dyes in the textile substrates, which may be present in the wash chamber, not damaged. This can e.g. take place by an aperture or curve is present at the entrance and exit in the direction of wash chamber, and the wash liquor must flow around the aperture or around the curve.
- the inlets and outlets of the decolorizing device may also be arranged in one direction so that they do not face the direction of the washing chamber.
- the preferred wavelength range of the emitted UV radiation is between 100 and 400 nm, more preferably between 250 and 400 nm.
- At least one additional pump is provided in addition to the pump usually present in a washing machine which pumps the washing liquor out of the washing chamber into the decolorizing device and / or out of it. This makes the decolorization process even more efficient.
- the onset, intensity and duration of the process of forming free radicals in the decolorizer are preferably controllable.
- the onset of the process can be coupled to the achievement of certain operating parameters, for example to a certain temperature of the wash liquor or to a certain phase of the wash cycle.
- a temperature-dependent control for example, a temperature sensor can be provided, by which the temperature of the wash liquor can be detected.
- a purely temporal control can be provided, in which the process starts at a pre-settable time.
- the duration of the process can be adjusted so that it stops as soon as a certain level of dyes within the wash liquor is exceeded. For particularly low temperature washes where there is no fear of washing out dyes in the wash liquor, the onset of the process can be completely eliminated.
- the intensity and duration of the process can be correspondingly increased.
- the temperature of the wash liquor at which the washing machine according to the invention can be operated may be between 10 and 100.degree. C., preferably between 20 and 60.degree.
- the decolorizing device can be permanently installed in a housing of the washing machine according to one embodiment of the invention.
- the decolorizing device may, for example, be mounted below the drum or on the inside of the door of the washing machine. To feed the wash liquor into the decolorization and again out of this can in the
- washing machine corresponding lines may be provided, which are connectable to the inlet or the outlet of the decolorizing device.
- the washing chamber can have a washing liquor outlet, which can be connected to the inlet of the decolorizing device. Accordingly, the outlet of the decolorizing device with a
- wash liquor inlet of the wash chamber be connectable, so that the treated wash liquor from the decolorizer can be guided back into the wash chamber.
- the decolorizing device can also be integrated into the usually present circulating circuit.
- the decolorizing device can also be designed as a separate, preferably battery-operated module. This can be attached for example by means of a corresponding holder on the inside of the door of the washing machine.
- a separately insertable module is that it can be used only when needed and thus subject to less wear.
- a separate module can also be installed later in an existing washing machine or from a defective
- Washing machine to be installed and in a new washing machine.
- UV radiation also has a germicidal effect in a wavelength range of 200 and 300 nm.
- microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and protozoa can be deactivated.
- This capability makes UV radiation an environmentally friendly, chemical-free and highly effective method Disinfection of water widely used. It is also used to protect the water from harmful microorganisms.
- UV irradiation relies on a physical process that quickly and effectively deactivates microorganisms. When bacteria, viruses and protozoa are exposed to the germicidal wavelengths of UV radiation, they lose their ability to reproduce and infect.
- UV radiation has been shown to be highly effective against pathogenic organisms, including the causative agents of cholera, polio, typhoid fever, hepatitis and other bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases. Therefore, according to the invention, the UV radiation (alone or in combination with hydrogen peroxide) is used for the UV oxidation, a process in which the number of
- Microorganisms on the textile substrates and / or the water-insoluble solid particles and / or in the liquid phase of the wash liquor is significantly reduced.
- the photocatalytic water splitting is also possible according to the invention by using short-wave UV radiation in the range from 250 to 300 nm when using suitable photocatalysts. These are either added to the detergent or the water-insoluble solid particles, or may be partially or wholly made thereof. It is also possible to introduce these stationary in the decolorization. Thus, in principle can be dispensed with the use of amounts of hydrogen peroxide by the detergent or hydrogen peroxide generating components.
- the invention thus also discloses a module which can be used in a washing machine and which has a decolorizing device with an inlet for introducing washing liquor into the washing machine
