Abstract

Abrasion-resistant, non-dusting, water-soluble dye particles are prepared by spraying dye solution, which optionally contains formulation auxiliaries, onto dye particles in a fluidised bed. The stream of gas required to create the fluidised bed must be able to take up moisture.

Description

(54) PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF NONDUSTING DYESTUFF PARTICLES (71) We, HOECHST AKTIEN GESELLSCHAFT, a body corporate organised according to the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, of 6230 Frankfurt (Main) SO, Postfach 80 03 20, Germany, do hereby declare the invention for which we pray that a paUt may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following Stateneat:- The pxst invention relates to the pre parkin of noadusting dyestuff particles.
It is known that water-soluble dyestuffs, especially reactive dyestuffs, may be obtained in slid form from concentrated solutions thereof using spray chambers. The dyestuff powder obtained by these processes is always very fine, has a correspondingly low bulk den sity and is highly dusting. Although it is desirable to obtain fine grains, which permit a high rate of solution and high working speed, dyestuffs and dyestuff preparations which are dust-free or substantially dust-free are required to prevent troubles and injuries to the service staff and contamination of the production rooms and of the prepared products.
It is known to treat prepared dyestuff powders subsequently by adding antidust agents, for example oils or various other additives, or combinations thereof. This subsequent addition of an antidust agent has the disadvantage that it involves high costs and also that a number of additional inconvenient problems may result depending on the particular antidust agents used. The problem of the low bulk (powder) density does not change in this process.
The present invention provides a process for the preparation of abrasion resistant (as hereinafter defined), nondusting dyestuff partides, which comprises spraying a solvent for tbe dyestuff or a solution of the dyestuff into or orito a bed comprising particles of the dye stuff {fluidized by a gas which is capable of removing solvent from the bed, and subsequently separating the nondusting particles.
According to the process of the invention the dyestuff is preferably a water-soluble dye stuff, especially a reactive dyestuff, and there is sprayed onto or into the fluidized bed water or an aqueous dyestuff solution. The gas used for fluidizing the bed may be any suitable inert gas depending on the dyestuff and especially on the solvent. When water or an aqueous dyestuff solution is to be sprayed the fluidizing gas is generally air.
The term " abrasion-resistant" means that the dyestuff particles are not reduced in size under normal conditions, for example storage, transportation, handling or mixing conditions.
The conditions for fluidization of the bed comprising particles of the dyestuff are according to known principles for fluidized beds. It is preferred that the bed comprises particles of different sizes within the accepted size range for fluidization.
The process according to the invention may be carried out discontinuously or continuously.
In a discontinuous process, dyestuffs particles which may be fluidized and which are, or include, particles which would give dusting may be put into a suitable apparatus to form the fluidized bed. The bed is then treated with solvent or dyestuff solution according to the invention to increase the particle size. The particles are then removed from the apparatus and may be graded for size. Particles which are larger than required may be comminuted and, if necessary, subjected to further treatment, and undersize particles may be returned to the apparatus for further treatment.
A continuously operating process according to the invention is generally carried out by starting with an mitial bed of particles, which may all be of such a size that they are nondusting, or may be as described above. The or further dyestuff particles to be treated are then added to the fluidized bed continuously or at intervals, the bed being treated with solvent or dyestuff solution as above. Treated particles may be removed in usual manner continuously or at intervals from the fluidized bed, and may be graded as described above.
Recycled particles may be returned to the fluidized bed directly or with the basic feed of particles to be treated.
The solvent or dyestuff solution may be sprayed from the top (preferred), from the bottom and/or from the side. The dyestuff solution may contain an extender. The term dyestuff solution " means a solution of solids (i.e. dyestuff, extender, additives (for example tensides or binders) and compositions thereof) dissolved in an amount up to the degree of saturation. Suitable extenders for aqueous solutions are inter alia NaCI or Na2SO4.
It is, moreover, possible to spray solvent vapour onto the fluidized bed. Optionally a binder, for example Manutex (Trade Mark) or Tylose (Trade Mark) may be added to the solvent. The residence time of the dyestuff solution or of the diluted dyestuff solution in the fluidized bed, and a possible temperature stress involved therein, may be reduced and energy saved by submitting the solution to a preliminary concentration process in a suitable apparatus. The number of spray nozzles used in a suitable apparatus depends on the dimension of the fluidized bed and on the quantity passed through. The arrangement of the nozzles, either at the top, at the bottom and/or at the side, has no essential influence on the granulation process. Advantageously the spray nozzles are arranged at the top of the apparatus employed.
In continuous operation of the process of the invention, the feed of the dyestuff powder, granulate or mixture of powder and granulate to be treated may suitably be passed through the spray cone of the solvent or dyestuff solution. The agglomerates are discharged in known manner via suitable devices as indicated above, for example rotary valves. The dyestuff powder entrained by the exhaust air is usually retained by self-cleaning dry filters and recycled to the fluidized bed directly or together with the material to be treated.
An apparatus in which the process of the invention may be carried out will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawing, which shows an elevation of the apparatus, partly in section.
The fluidization apparatus has a fluidization chamber casing 1, through which pass, into the chamber, a screw-feed dosing device 5, by which dyestuff particles to form the fluidized bed and recycled undersize or comminuted oversize particles may be introduced, and a spray nozzle 2 for introduction of the solvent or dyestuff solution. Hot air for fluidization is introduced into the fluidization chamber by the gas inlet 4 via the perforated plate 6, and, charged with solvent, leaves the fluidization apparatus via a port 7. A discharge pipe 8 for the final product opens into the fluidization chamber at a level immediately over the perforated plate. The pipe 8 is equipped with a rotary valve 3.
The present invention is illustrated by the tests shown in the following Table.
