Definitions

• the present invention relates to a process for the production from hydrogen peroxide of a bleaching liquor containing performic acid for the treatment of textile fibrous material.
• keratinous fibrous material may be bleached with aqueous liquors containing performic acid as the oxidizing bleaching agent.
• aqueous liquors containing performic acid as the oxidizing bleaching agent.
• the bleaching action and stability of such liquors is dependent on the method by which the performic acid has been prepared.
• more stable performic acid bleaching liquors can be prepared from formaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of acids than from formic acid and hydrogen peroxide.
• liquors having a particularly strongbleaching action are moreover obtained when a concentrated stock bleaching solution is first prepared and then diluted for use.
• an active and surprisingly stable bleaching liquor containingperformic acid can be pre- Patented Mar. 19, 1968 ice pared without using free formaldehyde by reacting (a) hydrogen peroxide and (b) at least one substance yielding formaldehyde or a low molecular weight formic ester or a low molecular weight formamide in an acid to neutral aqueous solution at a temperature of up to 60 C. the resultant solution may then be diluted if desired and adjusted to a pH value of 1 to 8.5, preferably 2 to 8.5.
• Substances yielding formaldehyde are defined as substances which contain at least once a group having the general formula:
• Y denotes a nitrogen or oxygen atom
• X denotes a nitrogen or oxygen atom or the group SO M
• M being a proton, an ammonium ion, an alkali metal ion or half an alkaline earth metal ion, andthe valencies of the said nitrogen and/or oxygen atoms which are not attached to the central carbon atom being, in the absence of a $0 M group, at the most partly saturated by hydrogen.
• Examples of substances which contain at least once a group having the Formula I are: formaldehyde polymers, such as trioxymethylene, tetraoxymethylene and paraformaldehyde; formals, such as dimethylformal and diethylformal; hydroxymethanesulfonic acid; aminomethanesulfonic acid; imino-bis-methanesulfonic acid and N-alkyl and N-hydroxyalkyl derivatives of these two acids; nitrilotrismethanesulfonic acid, ammonium salts, alkali metal salts and alkaline earth metal salts of these acids, such as preferably the sodium, potassium and calcium salts; N-methylol compounds of carbamides, such as particularly urea, imidazolidones, tetrahydrotriazinones, hexahydropyrimidones and urones; of melamines, of dicyanodiamide; and also ethers of such N-methylol compounds with alcohol
• Examples of low molecular weight formic esters and formamides are substances having the general formula:
• Q denotes a radical OR or R being an alkyl radical having one to five carbon atoms, R being a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical having one to five carbon atoms and R being a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical having one to five carbon atoms.
• substances having the Formula II are: methyl formate, ethyl formate, propyl formate, butyl formate and diethylformamide.
• the drop in the pH value during bleaching may be prevented or minimized by employing or additionally employing substances containing at least one group having the Formula I or substances having the Formula II which form amines or preferably ammonia by reaction With hydrogen peroxide.
• a particularly suitable and therefore preferred substance of this type is hexamethylene tetramine.
• Formamide, dimethylformamide, aminomethanesulfonic acid, iminobismethanesulfonic acid, their alkyl derivatives, particularly their methyl derivatives, and their salts however act in this way.
• formaldehyde polymers such as trioxymethylene, tetraoxymethylene and paraformalclehyde; hydroxymethanesulfonic acid and its sodium, potassium and calcium salts; the reaction products of this acid with ammonia, i.e., aminomethanesultonic acid, aminobismethanesul-fonic acid and nitrilotrismethanesulfonic acid and the sodium, potassium and calcium salts of these acids and hexamethylene tctramine.
• Substances of the abovementioned type are reacted with hydrogen peroxide in aqueous medium.
• the speed of this reaction is dependent on the hydrogen ion concentration of the medium.
• An acid or neutral range is used to achieve rapidly a bleaching solution which is ready for use.
• the acid reaction may be produced by adding inorganic or organic acids or acid salts.
• the acids may be chosen at will. Strong acids are very suitable, such as sulfuric acid and sulfonic acids, and acid salts such as sodium bisulfite and sodium bisulfate.
• the amount of acid substance required depends on its acidity. Amounts of 0.5 to of strong acids, with reference to the weight of hydrogen peroxide to be reacted, are adequate, whereas 10 to 50% of weaker acids or acid salts may be necessary.
• stabilizers for active oxygen have proved to be very suitable to coemploy stabilizers for active oxygen in the present process. These stabilizers are particularly advantageous when it is intended to carry out bleaching at elevated temperature, particularly above 50 C. because under these conditions they prevent too rapid delivery of the active oxygen with consequent yellowing and even damage to the material being bleached.
• Stabilizers for active oxygen are known per se; examples are alkali metal polyphosphates, such as tetrasodium pyrophosphate, and more highly condensed phosphates such as sodium tripolyphosphate, sodium tetraphosphate and sodium hexapolyphosphate; magnesium silicate; magnesium phosphate; and complex-forming aminopolycarboxylic acids, such as particularly nitrilotriacetic acid and ethylene dia'minotetracetic acid and their ammonium salts, magnesium-alkali metal salts and alkali metal salts.
• Alkali metal polyphosphates particulary those of sodium and potassium, nit-rilotriacetic acid, ethylene diaminotetracetic acid and the sodium, potassium and magnesium salts of these acids are preferred.
• the stabilizers for active oxygen may be used singly or more than one of them may be additionally used. Generally it is not necessary to use them in amounts of more than with reference to the weight of anhydrous hydrogen peroxide.
• wetting agents, detergents and/ or softening agents and also optical brighteners which are stable to peroxides may be added to the liquor at any stage during its production.
• Hydrogen peroxide is advantageously used in the process according to this invention in amounts which are one to twelve times, preferably three to ten times the amount which is equivalent to the substance (b).
• Hydrogen peroxide is advantageously used in the process according to this invention in amounts which are one to twelve times, preferably three to ten times the amount which is equivalent to the substance (b).
• the ratio betwen substances which contain at least one group having the Formula I or substances having the Formula II and hydrogen peroxide is preferably chosen so that for each mole of groups having the Formula I or of substance having the Formula II, one to twelve moles of hydrogen peroxide are available; particularly successful results are achieved with a molar ratio of 1:3 to 1:10.
• the amount of hydrogen peroxide depends on whether it is desired to bleach in a long liquor or with a padding liquor. Amounts of hydrogen peroxide of from 10 i to 30 cc./l. have proved to be particularly useful for long liquors and from 40 to 130 cc./l. for padding liquors.
• the perforrnic acid bleaching liquor may be prepared by adding the ingredients direct to the liquor in the amounts desired for bleaching.
• a concentrated stock bleaching solution may first be prepared which is diluted to the concentration for use immediately prior to use.
• Stock bleaching solutions may be prepared in concentrations which are equivalent to 100 to 500 cc./l. of 35% hydrogen peroxide.
• the temperature should not exceed 40 C.; bleaching liquors to which the ingredients are added direct may however be prepared at higher temperatures up to about 60 C.
• the bleaching liquor which if necessary has been cliluted to the concentration required for use, may be adjusted to a pH value of from 1 to 8.5, preferably from 4 to 6, if it does not have such a pH value by virtue of its method of production.
• the usual alkaline or acid reacting reagents particularly weak or medium strength bases or acids, may be used for the purpose. It is preferable to adjust the pH value in the presence of the material to be bleached because the latter sometimes contains acid or alkaline substances which may change the pH value of the bleaching liquor.
• a particularly advantageous agent of this type contains 50 to 20% by weight of condensed alkali metal phosphate, by weight of hydroxymethanesulfonic acid or its ammonium, alkali metal (particularly sodium or potassium), or alkaline earth metal (particularly calcium) salts, 10 to 20% by weight of condensed alkali metal phosphate, particularly sodium or potassium phosphates, and 10 to 0% by weight of ethylene diaminotetracetic acid or its ammonium, alkali metal (particularly sodium or potassium), or alkaline earth metal (particularly magnesium) salts.
• the agent may also contain solid acids or acid salts.
• Such an agent may be used for example as follows: for each liter of bleaching liquor, 20 cc. of 35% hydrogen peroxide is mixed with 20 cc. of water, 3 to 7 g. of the agent is dissolved therein and the solution is made up to 1 liter with water. The bleaching liquor thus prepared is ready for immediate use without further measures.
• the process according to this invention yields performic acid bleaching liquors which are distinguished by remar"- able stability and bleaching power in a particularly simple and convenient way.
• the liquors may be used for example for bleaching textile materials of polyamide, polyester, polyacrylonitrile, cellulose, cellulose ester and regenerated cellulose fibers. They are particularly suitable for bleaching textile material which contains or consists of protein fibers, for example, wool, silk and animal hairs, and also feathers, bristles and the like.
• the liquors may be used for the said purpose in conventional ways.
• bleaching conditions have proved to be suitable for bleaching wool: A high degree of whiteness is obtained in a long liquor at 50 C. in two to six hours. Equally good results are achieved at C. in about thirty minutes and in the neighborhood of the boiling point in ten to twenty minutes.
• the batchwise and continuous padding method is particularly suitable for piece goods and tops.
• the material is padded with the bleaching solution on a padding machine.
• the padded material can then be rolled up, Wrapped round with a waterproof sheet and kept in slow rotary movement at room temperature for five to fifteen, preferably five to ten, hours.
• the padded material may be heated in a tunnel (to 40 C. or more) and then kept in movement in a reaction chamber at elevated temperature. A considerable shortening of the bleaching period is thus achieved.
• This bleaching method may also be carried out continuously by passing the padded material in open width at temperatures of 80 to 105 C. through a steamer at such a rate that the optimum bleaching period corresponding to the temperature is achieved.
