Definitions

  • the particular nonionics of interest in the process of the instant invention are the nonionic surface active agents having the molecular configuration of a condensation product of at least one mole of an alkylene oxide with one mole of a compound containing at least 6 carbon atoms and a reactive hydrogen atom are preferably polyoxyalkylene derivatives of alkylated and polyalkylated phenols, multi-branched chain primary aliphatic alcohols having the molecular configuration of an alcohol produced by the oxo process from a polyolefin of at least 7 carbon atoms, and straight chain aliphatic alcohols of at least carbon atoms.
  • the alkylene oxide may be propylene oxide, butylene oxide or preferably ethylene oxide.
  • E.O. means ethylene oxide and the number preceding same refers to the number of moles thereof reacted with one mole of the given reactive hydrogen containing compound.
  • the optimum starting materials are those selected from the group consisting of phenol, alkyl phenols, alphatic alcohols, fatty acids, fatty amines, fatty amides, rosin amines, long chain sulfonamides, long chain-substituted aryl sulfonamides, and high molecular weight mercaptans.
  • Nonionic surface active agents such as those of the instant invention have been previously esterified with a number of different phosphating agents, including phosphorus trichloride, PCl phosphorus oxychloride, P001 and phosphorus pentoxide, P 0 Esters produced from the chlorine-containing phosphating agents, such as the phosphorus trichloride and the phosphorus oxychloride, contain bound chlorine atoms which are undesirable in many applications.
  • the perferred phosphating agent used in most instances heretofore has been phosphorus pentoxide.
  • a further object of this invention is the provision of a process for the preparation of phosphate esters of nonionic surface active agents wherein a much higher percentage of the organic starting materials will be converted to phosphate esters.
  • Nonionic surface active agents such as those of the instant invention have been converted heretofore to their phosphate esters by first azeotropically distilling the compounds to remove all traces of water and then reacting the dried compound with phosphorus pentoxide under anhydrous conditions.
  • the removal of water prior to the phosphation process has been considered necessary to prevent the formation of phosphoric acid by reaction of the water with the phosphorus pentoxide.
  • the presence of phosphoric acid during the phosphation reaction has previously been believed to be disadvantageous to a satisfactory phosphation.
  • Increased conversion has been realized by adding from 0.001 to 3% by weight of water or mineral acid, based on the weight of the dried nonionic surface active agents.
  • the preferred percentage of additive is between 0.1 and 0.8%
  • the reaction products of the process of the instant invention are believed to be a mixture of the orthophosphates and pyrophosphates of the nonionic surface active agents starting materials.
  • Phosphate esters of various nonionic surface active agents have found numerous commercial applications such as detergents, lubricants, oil additives, antistatic agents, foaming agents, corrosion inhibitors and the like.
  • many of the phosphate esters have shown multiple applications when they contain higher concentration of phosphates. The importance of the discovery of the instant invention which makes possible the production of such high concentration phosphate products is readily seen.
  • Example 1 Procedure A Into a two liter, electrically heated, reaction flask, fitted with an agitator, a thermometer,.and a water separator fitted to a reflux condenser, is charged 600 parts of nonylphenol containing fifteen moles of ethylene oxide (0.682 moles of the nonionic surface active agents) and 200 parts of xylene. The mixture is heated to reflux until water is completely removed from the reaction mixture. The xylene is then removed by distillation and the dried nonionic surface active agents are cooled to 50 C. The apparatus is then re-arranged so that inert gas is bubbled through the reaction mixture and a vent is kept open.
  • Procedure E The same charge and procedure as in A above is employed, except that after the water is removed, there is added 2.5 parts of water to the dried nonionic surface active agents. Analysis of the product by an ion exchange procedure showed 2.34 percent of unreacted nonionic surface active agents.
  • Procedure C Procedure C.-Procedure A is repeated except, after the water is removed, there is added 3 parts of phosphoric acid to the dried nonionic surface active agents.
  • the unreacted nonionic surface active agents of the resulting product is 1.15 percent.
  • Procedure D.Procedure A is repeated except, after the water is removed, there is added 3 parts of hydrochloric acid (chemically pure) to the dried nonionic surface active agents.
  • the unreacted nonionic surface active agent in the phosphated product is 3.0 percent.
  • Procedure E.Procedure A is repeated except, after the water is removed, there is added 4.8 parts of sulfuric acid (chemically pure). The resulting product is found to contain 2.5 percent of unreacted nonionic surface active agent.
  • Procedure F.Procedure A is repeated except, after the water is removed, there is added 4.8 parts of water to the dried nonionic surface active agent. There is found 2.0 percent of unreacted nonionic surface active agent in the resulting product.
  • Procedure G.Procedure A is repeated except, after the water is removed, there is added 0.6 part of water to the dried nonionic surface active agent. There is found 2.5 percent of unreacted nonionic surface active agent in the resulting product.
  • the reaction temperature is not limited to 120130 C. as shown in Procedure A but can be as high as 200 C.
  • the pressure may be atmospheric, subatmospheric or superatmospheric.
  • the only limitation on the reaction conditions is that the temperature and pressure are'such that the added water or mineral acid is not driven olf during the reaction.
  • a process for the preparation of phosphate esters comprising reacting phosphorus pentoxide with ethoxylated nonyl phenol or an ethoxylated aliphatic alcohol containing at least 6 carbon atoms, wherein a small amount of water is added to said ethoxylated nonyl phenol or aliphatic alcohol prior to the reaction with phosphorus pentoxide.
  • a process for the preparation of phosphate esters comprising reacting one mole of phosphorus pentoxide with 0.3 to 2 moles of a nonionic surface active agent having the molecular configuration of a condensation product of at least one mole of alkylene oxide and one mole of a compound containing at least 6 carbon atoms and a reactive hydrogen atom, and selected from the group consisting of phenol, alkyl phenols, aliphatic alcohols, fatty acids, fatty amines, fatty amides, rosin amines, long chain sulfonamides, long chain-substituted aryl sulfonamides, and high molecular weight mercaptans, wherein .001% to 3% by weight of water is added to said nonproduct of at least one mole of alkylene oxide and one mole of a compound containing at least 6 carbon atoms and a reactive hydrogen atom, and selected from the group consisting of phenol, alkyl phenols, aliphatic
  • a process for the preparation of phosphate esters comprising azeotropically distilling a nonionic surface active agent having the molecular configuration of a condensation product of at least one mole of alkylene oxide and one mole of a compound containing at least 6 carbon atoms and a reactive hydrogen atom and selected from the group consisting of phenol, alkyl phenols, aliphatic alcohols, fatty acids, fatty amines, fatty amides, rosin amines, long chain sulfonamides, long chain-substituted aryl sulfonamides, and high molecular weight mercaptans, to remove any water present therein, drying said nonionic surface active agent, adding to the dried nonionic surface active agent .001% to 3% by weight of water and then reacting 0.3 to 2 moles of said nonionic surface active agent with one mole of phosphorus pentoxide.
  • nonionic surface active agent is a nonylphenol containing fifteen moles of ethylene oxide.
