Description
2y85agl83 United tas HYDROGEN PEROXIDE BLEACHING OF COTTON FABRIC No Drawing. Application June 28, 1955 Serial No. 518,690
7 Claims. ((11. 8-111) This invention relates to a new and improved process for the continuous bleaching of cotton woven fabrics. More particularly it relates to a process of pro-treating such cotton goods whereby they may be treated with caustic and bleached with hydrogen peroxide in a single continuous storage stage.
In accordance with present commercially operated continuous bleaching processes using hydrogen peroxide bleaching solutions, gray woven cotton goods are first subjected to pre-treatment for removal of fabric sizes and finishes, then subjected to a relatively strong caustic soda solution, steamed and stored in a continuous storage system such as a J-box, saturated with a hydrogen peroxide bleaching solution, steamed and stored in a second .l-box at a temperature of ZOO-212 F. and finally washed and dried.
Although such a process produces satisfactory bleached cotton, the investment in equipment and cost of steam, water and labor are high. Furthermore, physical damage frequently is caused by the necessity for pulling the goods through the two J-box system. Various proposals have been made in the past for overcoming these difiiculties but no satisfactory process has been known for continuously bleaching cotton piece goods in a system employing a single J-box.
It is an object of this invention to provide an improved process for the treatment of such woven goods.
It is another object of this invention to provide a continuous process for the scouring and bleaching of such woven goods whereby one continuous storage stage, such as by use of a J-box, will be eliminated.
Other objects of the invention will appear hereinafter.
The objects of this invention may be accomplished, in general, by pre-treating unbleached woven cotton goods with an aqueous solution of a surface active wetting agent and a phosphate, rinsing the cotton goods, and then bleaching the same with an alkaline peroxide solution.
In general the first step, referred to hereinafter as the wet-out, may be carried out by immersing the woven cotton material in an aqueous solution of a surfactant and a phosphate for a short time so that the cotton is thoroughly wet with the solution. Usually about 1 to 30 minutes immersion is suitable and about 1 to 3 minutes is effective to produce good results. A longer period of immersion may be utilized, if desired, especially if the woven materials being treated are heavy or tightly woven. Less than 1 minute may be satisfactory for light or loosely woven materials.
The temperature of the wet-out should be above room temperature for best results and it is preferred to operate at about 120 to 140 F. Temperatures higher than about 140 F. are satisfactory and excellent results have been obtained at 180 F. However, in most instances temperatures below 180 F. are satisfactory and more economical. At temperatures below about 120 F., difficulty may sometimes be encountered in reproducing results and brightness of the bleached cotton will be lower than obtained with the higher temperature wet-out.
2,358,183 Patented Get. 28, 1958 Generally, concentrations of surfactant or phosphate Within the range of 0.1% to 1.0% are useful. Preferably about 0.3% to 0.5% is used for best results. Concentrations above 1% may be used but show little or no added advantage. Below about 0.3% a somewhat lower brightness will be obtained.
Anionic, cationic or nonionic surfactants may be used in the wet-out with equally good results. Typical examples of suitable surfactants are the alkoxylated aryl polyether alcohols, polyethylene oxide condensates, sodium alkyl sulfates, sodium hydrocarbon sulfonates, the stearamide of diethylene triamine, fatty alkylol amine condensates, substituted oxazoline, amino alkane sulfates of a fatty acid, sulfonated esters of dicarboxylic acid and alkyl aryl sulfonates.
The phosphates having utility in the process of this invention are the molecularly dehydrated salts of phosphoric acid, for example, sodium hexametaphosphate, sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium pyrophosphate.
It is essential in accordance with the present invention that the woven cotton from the wet-out step be rinsed. Preferably, for best results the rinse water is heated to about the same temperature as the wet-out. In any event it is essential, in order to obtain the full advantage of this invention, to rinse the cotton and the best results are obtained when this is done thoroughly with hot water, i. e., F. to 180 F. Surprisingly, it has been discovered that although the surfactant and phosphate func tion to improve the bleaching, it is necessary in order to obtain fully satisfactory results that the cotton be thoroughly rinsed following the wet-out. It has been suggested, heretofore, to add a surfactant to a peroxide bleach solution; however, the results obtained by first wetting out in a solution containing a surfactant and a phosphate and then rinsing are far superior to such previously known processes.
Following the rinse with water the woven cotton is bleached with an alkaline peroxide, preferably in the damp condition. The cotton is treated with sufficient bleach solution to become thoroughly wet and will in most cases contain bleach solution in an amount equal to about 50% to of the weight of cotton. Where a rapid bleach is desired, the cotton containing bleach solution is heated, for example, by steaming to temperatures of about 16 to 212 F. or higher if desired and then maintained at the elevated temperature, while preventing evaporation, until the desired degree of bleaching is obtained. In a typical continuous peroxide bleaching system the cotton may be steamed to raise the temperature of the goods to about 205 to 212 F. and then stored in an insulated i-box for between 30 minutes and 1 /2 hours. At the end of the bleaching period, the goods are rinsed in water until essentially free of bleach solution.
The usual well-known stabilizers and alkalies for peroxide bleaching may be used, for example, sodium silicate, caustic soda, borax and sodium pyrophosphate.
The preferred percompound for the bleaching step is hydrogen peroxide. However, if desired, other known equivalents for hydrogen peroxide may be used, for example, sodium peroxide, sodium perborate and the like.
Generally, when bleaching gray woven cotton the coneentration of hydrogen peroxide employed will be within the range of about 0.5% to 2.0% (100% H 0 basis).
Sodium silicate is the preferred stabilizer in the bleach ing step of this invention and, for optimum results, sodium silicate should be used in amounts greater than those commonly utilized in bleaching woven cotton goods. It is preferred to use about 2% to 3% sodium silicate (the 42 Be. silicate regularly used in the textile bleaching trade). Higher concentrations may be used but show no advantage. Less than about 2% silicate may be used but improved results are obtained with 2% or more.
3 The preferred alkali in the bleach solution is sodium hydroxide and about 0.1% to 0.8% sodium hydroxide may be used. However, it is preferred to use about 0.2 to 0.6% for best results. Bleach solutions containing 4 rinsed at 140 F. following the wet-out; a second sample at 65 F.
