Definitions
- the present invention relates to a. new or improved method for insolubilising artificial filaments, threads, fibres and the like filamentary products spun from protein solutions, and more particularly those obtained by the spinning of solutions of vegetable seed globulins, for instance peanut protein, or phospho-proteins, for instance casein, in aqueous alkaline or other suitable aqueous solvent media into suitable acidified saline coagulating baths.
- Sodium sulphate solutions slightly acidified with sulphuric acid are in practice most advantageously used as the coagulating baths.
- the filamentary products emerging from the coagulating bath are still easily soluble in dilute saline solutions. They can be rendered insoluble in dilute saline solutions and in cold water by a hardening treatment with formaldehyde, but in order to render the filamentary products capable of ordinary textile application they must be rendered capable of withstanding also the action of boiling water, so that they can be dried oif without sticking together, and further the action of hot dilute acid solutions such as are used in the application of acid wool dyes and of hot dilute alkaline solutions such as are used in laundering.
- the strongly acidified formaldehyde bath of pH 4 to 6 is preferably saturated with sodium sulphate, while if the formaldehyde bath of pH 4 to 6 is saturated to both sodium chloride and magnesium sulphate then the strongly acidified formaldehyde bath is preferably saturated with magnesium sulphate.
- the temperature of the first bath is 50 C. a period of about five minutes is sufficient and that if the temperature is about 40 C. 8 minutes to 15 minutes are required. It is also stated that if the temperature of the second bath is about C. the time required for treatment is usually about 10 to 15 minutes.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a simple and efiicient method of insolubilising a continuous travelling tow of unhardened protein artificial filamentary material.
- the method of insolubilising artificial filamentary products obtained by the spinning of solution of vegetable seed globulins, for instance, peanut proteins, or phospho-protein, for instance, casein in aqueous alkaline or other aqueous solvent media into acidified saline coagulating baths comprises passing the filamentary products and an aqueous formaldehyde solution saturated to sodium chloride and containing sodium sulphate or magnesium sulphate at a pH of 4 to 6 and at a temperature preferably in the neighbourhood of about 70 C.
- a tubular passage preferably anranged as a coil of helical form and thereafter passing the thus treated filamentary product and an aqueous formaldehyde solution strongly acidified with sulphuric acid and saturated with sodium sulphate or magnesium sulphate at the temperature employed, the said strongly acidified formaldehyde solution being at raised temperature preferably in the neighbourhood of about 95 0., through another tubular passage preferably arranged as a coil of helicalform.
- the tubular passage is preferably likewise of narrow diameterrand if it is straight the treating liquid is passed therethrough preferably under such conditions as to be in turbulent flow.
- the treating liquid is always to flow through the tubular passage at least at such speed as to advance the filamentary products through the said passage.
- the tubular passag .can .be completely immersed in a bath of water of such temperature as to maintain the liquor circulating in the pas-- sage at the stated temperature and so prevent cooling and consequent crystallisation of salts whichmight result in damage to the fibre.
- the tow-of filaments is preferably carried into the tubular passage by having a funnel fitted on tothe entrance to the passage. liquor is directed into this funnel, flowing by gravity through the said tubular passage.
- the flow 'of liquor from the funnel-to the tubular passage provides the necessary impetus to take the tow .of filaments into the tubular passage. It has been found advantageous to fit an overflow pipe from the funnel to the treating liquor-circulating tank in order to maintain steady flow conditions in the tubular passage.
- Example A maturedcaustic soda solution of groundnut globulin prepared from a solution containing 25 parts peanut globulin, 1.25 parts .sodium hydroxide, 1.0 part sodium sulphiteand 172.75 parts water is extruded through a spinneret 'i into a coagulating bathi containing'ZGO gm./l.sodium sulphate and gm./l. sulphuric acid.
- the resulting tow of filaments 3 is taken up on godets 4 having .a peripheral speed of 30 :metres per minute r and stretched 2 by passing 1 on "to. godets .;5
- the treating havin a peripheral speed or metres per minute.
- the tow 3 is then led under tension to a godet 6 situated .vertically above the centre line of the trough of a ,ring trough i in accordance with the method claimed in co-pending U. S. application Serial No. 2,246, filed January 14, 1948, now Patent No. 2,555,065, through a reciprocating spacing device .8 at least 3 feet above the surface of the liquor in the trough and so into the trough in which the fibre is deposited in a zig-zag manner.
- This ring-trough consists of a solid centre section 2 feet in diameter with a trough 0.5 foot wide and 4 inches deep outside but integrally joined to it and is made of mild steel.
- the ring trough contains abase of wire gauze 9 and revolves in a circular trough i0, 3 feet 4 inches external diameter, 1 foot 7 /2 inches internal diameter and 6" deep, also of mild steel, fitted with an adjustable weir so that the height of liquor in the trough maybe varied at will.
- the ring-trough contains a saturated solution of sodium chloride at a temperature of 20 C. and at a pH M50.
- the tow 3 sinks on to the base of the trough i and is carried round with the trough I which revolves one in 4% minutes.
- the time of immersion of the tow 3 in the acidified saturated sodium chloride solution is 4 ,42 minutes.
- the tow 3 is taken up vnot less than 3 from the fibre inlet and then stretched between two .godets ll and I2 whose peripheral speeds are 35 and 52 metres per minute respectively.
- the tow 3 passes over a godet l3 placed vertically above the centre line of the entry id of a vertically positioned helical coil J5 of -120 .feet in length and of 4 feet diameter. Through this coil there passes a solution saturated yvith respect to sodium chloride at 770 and containing 20 grams of sodium sulphate per litre sand 2% of formaldehyde. The temperature of this solution is Caand the pH 5.0. The time of passage of ⁇ the tow 3 through gthis coil is ⁇ /2 to 1 .minute. The tow 3 is .picked up over ars det i6 arranged vertically above the exit of the vertically positioned coil.
- the tow 3 is stretched between two godets H, 18 whose peripheral speeds are '40 and +15 metres/minute.
- the tow ,3 then enters .th oughentry i9 another vertically .positioned coil '20 of length 150 feet and of diameter 4 feet through which flows a treating liquor consisting of saturated sodium sulphate at C., 275 gramsperlitre sulphuric acid and 2% formaldehyde.
- the temperature of this liquor is 95 and the pH is less than 0.
- the time of passage of the tow through thiscoil 20 is 12 minutes.
- On leaving .the outlet-of this second coil 20 the tow 3 .is'taken up over a godet 2! and washed and. dried by .any known method.
- a method for reducing the time of treatmentrequired for insolubilizing artificial filamenta-ry products obtained by spinning aqueous solutions of proteins selected from the group consisting of .vegetableseed globulins and phosphoproteins into acidified saline coagulating baths which comprises passing the -coagulated filamentary products through a confined areaand in direct contact with a stream of an aqueous formaldehyde solutionhaving a temperature of from :aboutfiil" .Cxto 70 C.
- a method for reducing the time 'of treatment required'for insolubilizing a continuous tow of artificial filamentary products obtained by spinning aqueous solutions of proteins selected from the group consisting of vegetable seed globulins and phospho-proteins into acidified saline coagulating baths which comprises passing said tow in an' untensioned condition through a confined area for from about to 1 minute and in direct contact with a stream of an aqueous formaldehyde solution at a temperature of from about 60 C. to 70 C.
