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 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 suflicient, and that if the temperature is about 40 C. 8 minutes to minutes are required. It is also stated that if the temperature of the second bath is about 70 C. the time required for treatment is usually about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • the coagulated filaments are first passed through a saturated sodium chloride bath at approximately C. in which they remain until their longitudinal contractility has been greatly reduced. It is filato give a saturated solution thereof; that the sodium sulphate may be omitted or that the sodium sulphate content may be low; and that the temperature may be as high as 80 C. and preferably between 25 and 80 C. It has also been found that the second bath 1. e. the aqueous formaldehyde bath strongly acidified with sulphuric acid and saturated with sodium sulphate, should preferably contain sodium chloride and that temperatures higher than 90 C. can be used though preferably the temperature is between and 98 C.
  • the changes which can thus be effected in the composition of the said first bath permit baths to be made which are of less specific gravity than the specific gravity of the protein fibres. This is extremely useful as it is very desirable that where the insolubilisation is carried out by immersion in successive treating liquids for as many as possible-of these to have a specific gravity lower than that of the protein filamentary products. Particularly is this so if the insolubilisation is to be carried out under non-tensioning conditions on a continuous travelling tow of protein filaments.
  • the method of insolubilising artificial filamentary products obtained by the spinning of solutions of vegetable seed globulins, for instance peanut proteins, or phospho-proteins, for instance, casein, in aqueous alkaline or other aqueous solvent media into suitable acidified saline coagulating baths comprises subsequently to the treatment of the filamentary products formed on coagulation in a relaxing solution, treating the thus relaxed filamentary products in an aqueous formaldehyde solution containing not less than 240 grams sodium chloride per litre of solution, having a pH value between 4 and 7, and at a temperature not exceeding C. and preferably at a temperature of 25 to 80 C.
  • a strongly acidified aqueous formaldehyde solution containing per litre 3 of solution between 250 and 325 grams sulphuric acid, between 370 and 480 grams of sodium sulphate and preferably between 30 and 130 grams sodium chloride, the said strongly acidified formaldehyde solution being at a raised temperature, preferably at a temperature of 70 to 98 C.
  • the relaxing solution according to the present invention is also one containing not less than 240 grams sodium chloride per litre of solution, and having a pH value of between 4 and '7.
  • the said relaxing solution however is free from formaldehyde and is at a temperature of to 40 C., and preferably at a temperature of to 25 C.
  • a solution of ground nut globulin containing 20% globulin, 1.1% sodium hydroxide and 78.9% water is extruded through a spinneret I into a coagulating bath 2 containing 300 gm./l. sodium sulphate and 50 gm./l. sulphuric acid.
  • the coagulated tow 3 is stretched between godets I, 5 and then treated for 3 minutes with a solution containing 290 gm./l. sodium chloride, 30 gm./l. sodium sulphate, 0.5 gm./l. sulphuric acid at 20 C. contained in the trough of a ring trough 1 according to the method claimed in copending application Serial No.
  • the tow is now treated for 3 minutes in a solution containing 300 gm./l. sodium chloride, 24 gm./l. sodium sulphate, 1 gm./l. sulphuric acid and 15 gm./l. formaldehyde at 55 C. contained in the trough of a ring trough l6 similar to ring trough 1 and again according to the method claimed in co-pending application Serial No. 2,246, filed January 14, 1948, now U. S. Patent 2,555,065.
  • This operation is effected by passing the tow 3 from a godet i4 situated vertically above the centre line of the trough of said ring trough l6 through a reciprocating spacing device l5.
  • the tow 3 after leaving the trough of the ring trough I6 is mangled between squeeze rolls IT and passed from a godet l8 placed vertically above the centre line of the entry i9 of a vertically positioned helical coil 20 of length 150 feet and diameter 4 feet through which flows a treating liquor consisting of 75 g1n./l. sodium chloride, 420 gm./l. sodium sulphate, 300 gm./l. sulphuric acid and 12 gm./l. formaldehyde at C.
  • the time Of passage of the tow through this coil 20 is 70 seconds.
  • the tow 3 On leaving the outlet of the coil 20 the tow 3 is taken up from a godet 2
  • a method of insolubilizing artificial filamentary products obtained by spinning aqueous alkaline solutions of proteins selected from the group consisting of vegetable seed globulins and phopho-proteins into acidified saline coagulating baths which comprises first relaxing the filamentary products by impregnating the same with an aqueous solution containing not less than 240 grams of sodium chloride per litre of solution and having a pH of between 4 and 7, and being substantially free of formaldehyde, thereafter impregnating the thus treated filamentary products at,a temperature not exceeding 80 C.
  • aqueous formaldehyde solution containing not less than 240 grams of sodium chloride per litre and having a pH of between 4 and 7 and thereafter impregnating the filamentary products at a temperature between 70 and 98 C. in a strongly acidified, aqueous formaldehyde solution containing, per litre of solution, between 250 and 325 grams of sulphuric acid and between 370 and 480 grams of sodium sulphate.
  • a method of insolubilizing artificial filamentary products obtained by spinning aqueous. alkaline solutions of proteins selected from the group consisting of vegetable seed globulins and phospho-proteinsinto acidified saline coagulating baths which comprises impregnating the coagulated filamentary products at a temperature of 10 C. to 40 C. in a relaxing solution containm per liter of solution, between 240 and 320 grams of sodium sulphate and less than 3 grams of sulphuric acid, said relaxing solution being substantially free or formaldehyde, thereafter impregnating the thus relaxed filamentary products at a temperature not exceeding 80' C.
  • aqueous formaldehyde solution containing, per liter of solution, between 240 and 320 grams of sodium chloride, less than 60 grams of sodium sulphate, less than 3 grams of sulphuric acid and between 10 and 20 grams of formaldehyde, the pH of said aqueous formaldehyde solution being between 4 and 7, and subsequently impregnating the filamentary products at a temperature beformaldehyde.
