Description

United States Patent 3,123,449 AMMONIUM BRGMEDE COMPGSKTKON Elmer L. McMaster and Floyd B. Nagle, both of Midland, Mich, assignors to The Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Mich, a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Filed Nov. 17, 1961, Ser. No. 153,189 6 (Ilaims. (Cl. 23100) This invention relates to ammonium bromide, and more particularly,'to a corrosion inhibiting ammonium bromide product and its method of preparation.
Ammonium bromide is corrosive to metals. This corrosiveness greatly limits the utility of the material. The material is hydroscopic and also sublimes at room temperature so that a metal in contact with the solid ammonium bromide or an atmosphere exposed to ammonium bromide will corrode extensively. Ammonium bromide has desirable properties in that when it is dispersed in plastic material it imparts fire resistant properties to the plastic. However, due to the corrosiveness of the material it is finding limited use for this purpose. It is difficult to store and also corrodes the equipment used in molding or extruding the plastic material containing the ammonium bromide.
In addition to its corrosiveness ammonium bromide has another undesirable property which further limits its use as a fireproofing agent in plastics. Due to the hydroscopic properties of the ammonium bromide and its sublimation, ammonium bromide upon storage tends to cake or agglomerate and is difficult to disperse. To disperse the ammonium bromide evenly in a plastic material, it is essential that the particles of the ammonium bromide be of a small size, preferably less than 40 microns. When larger particles are used or when the ammonium bromide is not adequately dispersed, formation of specks or rough spots on the surface of the fabricated plastic article is obtained. This adversely affects the appearance and saleability of the items. Thus, it is desirable to have an ammonium bromide product which is inhibited to decrease its corrosiveness and also a method for the preparation of this product in a fine particle size.
It is the principal object of this invention to provide an inhibited composition of ammonium bromide to inhibit its corrosion of metals. A further object is to provide a free-flowing ammonium bromide product in small particle size which will not cake or stick together upon storage. A still further object is to provide a method for the preparation of the inhibited ammonium product which is free-flowing and of small particle size.
The above and other objects are attained according to the invention by intimately intermixing from 0.5 to
weight percent, based upon ammonium bromide, of a dialkylamine salt of monoor di-alkylphenyl ester of phosphoric acid. When the above compounds are intermixed with ammonium bromide, the corrosiveness of the ammonium bromide is inhibited. The solid particles of ammonium bromide in contact with the metal will not corcode the metal nor will an aqueous solution of the product be corrosive to the metal.
3,123,440 Patented Mar. 3, 1964 The compounds which are effective may be represented by the following general formulae:
Where, in each of the above formulae, R R R and R represent an alkyl radical having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms and R and R" are alkyl radicals having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms. The diethylamine salts of the octylphenyl esters are preferred.
T he various known methods for intimately intermixing two materials may be used in the formation of the in hibited ammonium bromide product. Generally, the most convenient methods of intermixing the additament with the solid ammonium bromide is to add the additament to the ammonium bromide and then grind the mixture to obtain uniform distribution of the additament throughout the ammonium bromide. Spray drying of ammonium bromide solutions or emulsions containing the additament may be also used as a method to obtain the inhibited product.
Spray drying of ammonium bromide solutions or emulsions to which the additaments have been added has a further advantage in that a fine, free-flowing product of ammonium bromide is obtained. The particles obtained are in the range of a micron size and do not cake or adhere together. Thus, spray drying provides a convenient method of not only dispersing the inhibitor into the ammonium bromide, but the inhibitor serves an additional function of producing a fine free-flowing product. Spray drying of ammonium bromide solutions to obtain fine particles of the ammonium bromide without the addition of the additaments is not satisfactory. The particles obtained by spray drying cake or adhere together as soon as they are formed. Thus, large particles are obtained or the particles adhere together making it diflicult to disperse them in plastic materials without the formation of specks or rough spots on the surface of the material.
In preparing the stabilized ammonium bromide product by spray drying, an aqueous ammonium bromide solution to which the additament has been added is used. Since the diethylamine salts of the octyl phenyl esters of phosphoric acid are insoluble in water, an emulsion with the ammonium bromide solution is prepared and then spray dried. In the preparation of these emulsions, it
may be desirable to use a surfactant or emulsifier, such as the polyalkylene sorbitan esters of long chained acids as polyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, polyoxypropyleneethylene sorbitan monolaurate, polyethylene sorbitan tristearate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan pentaoleate or other well known emulsifiers. With the addition of an emulsisue-asap same amount is also sufiicient to impart the free-flowing non-caking characteristics to the particles when the ammonium bromide product is obtained by spray drying. It is preferred to use from 1 to 3 weight percent of the additament.
The following example further illustrates the invention.
Example I An emulsion was made by intermixing 2 grams of a diethylamine salt of a mixture of the monoand di-octylphenyl esters of phosphoric acid to 90 grams of a Weight percent ammonium bromide solution. A small amount of a polyethylene sorbitan monolaurate as a dispersant was also added. A mild steel coupon of /2" x 1" x A was inserted in the emulsion. A After 7 days the emulsion remained white and no discoloration of the solution was obtained. The steel coupon was slightly dulled. A loss weight of about only 0.001 gram was obtained in the 7 days.
A second. run similar to the above was repeated except that only 0.37 gram of the additament was added to the 90 grams of 20 weight percent ammonium bromide solution. After 3 days the coupon was lustrous and the solution or emulsion remained white and uncolored. A loss of 0.005 gram was obtained.
A blank run was made where a similar mild steel coupon was placed in the 20 weight percent solution. A loss of 0.04 gram was obtained and the solution turned from white to an orange color in the three day test.
When an emulsion similar to that above is spray dried, the product obtained is white in color and free-flowing.
Similar results are obtained with dimethylarnine and dipropylamine salts of the alkylphenyl esters having alkyl radicals of from 6 to 12 carbon atoms.
The application is a continuation-in-part of application Serial No. 9,181, filed February 17, 1960, now Patent No. 3,037,842.
