Definitions

  • the process provides for the separation and removal of water-immiscible oil from a mixture of oil and an aqueous medium.
  • the process is comprised of first, forming a receptacle with a fibrous web, and then placing the web in contact with an oil and water mixture.
  • the web and the oil and water mixture define a separation system in which the work of adhesion for the system as a whole is greater than one-half to one times the value of the work of cohesion for the oil-water portion of said system and the contact angle formed by the oil in an oil-water mixture with a smooth surface of a fiber-forming polymer is less than 90".
  • the oil is preferentially absorbed into the web until the web is substantially saturated.
  • the receptacle formed by the web then becomes filled with oil as a result of the hydrostatic pressure imparted to the substantially saturated web.
  • the present invention relates to a method for removal and separation of oil from water and a device useful for accomplishing said removal.
  • this invention relates to the utilization of a receptacle fonned by a fibrous web by means of a device to retain and support the web to accomplish such separation.
  • the web is oleophilic in character and, therefore, can preferentially absorb oil to the exclusion of water.
  • the hydrostatic pressure throughout the area of the saturated web is such that oil will appear on the inside surface of the web.
  • the web in combination with the supporting frame may be used to not only remove oil from an oil and water mixture but actually physically separate the oil by simply emptying the receptacle formed by the web.
  • the removal of fats or fatty layers from soup or gravies may be readily accomplished by the teachings of this invention.
  • the invention also has many obvious industrial uses, for example, removing oil slicks from water, as well as several others, which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
  • oil as used herein is to be the generally construed as defined inhackh's Chemical Dictionary, Third Edilion, Blackiston Company, Inc., New York, Toronto 1953.
  • oil as used herein, however, is not limited to the group of compounds which are liquid at room temperature. Oleophilic materials which are solid at room temperature but will become liquid at elevated temperatures which have the same general structure and properties, as described inhackh's referred to above, are also meant to be included within the scope of the term oil.
  • the polymeric web at extremely elevated temperatures may decompose or be substantially weakened. Oils which are solid at such temperatures obviously cannot be separated by the device and process of this invention.
  • the preferred device for carrying out the process of this invention is comprised of flexible fibrous web and a frame adapted to support the web.
  • the frame has retaining means attached for the engagement of at least a portion of the web with the remainder of the web thereby forming a receptacle for the oil.
  • the retaining means is a pivotally mounted member adapted to impinge upon the frame.
  • the preferred embodiment of this device provides a locking means designed to clamp the web between the frame and a pivotally mounted member which serves as a retaining means. It may also be desirable to support the interior and/or exterior of the receptacle by other members bridging the opposite sides of the receptacle.
  • the embodiment illustrated by the drawings also illustrates a base with the bridging members radiating from it attached to the frame to provide a bottom support for the fiber-made receptacle. Of course, as the size of the receptacle is increased, the need for internal and possibly external support is also increased.
  • the retaining member may be movable, it need not be.
  • the member may be comprised of multiple layers or laminates of paper or the like with open areas into which the fibrous web has been previously inserted.
  • An alternative to the above is to provide paper or other similar mounting component with open areas and attach the web to the paper by means of an adherent such as adhesives or heat fusible thermoplastics.
  • the adherent provides the retaining means while in the former embodiment either the paper or an adherent may be used to form the retaining means.
  • the paper may define part of the receptacle.
  • the frame may also be made of paper or other mounting component and a continuous sheet of the mounting component with open areas or apertures to which the web has been attached may be shaped from such continuous sheet of the component so that part of the component forms part of the reservoir while another part forms the frame.
  • a further embodiment involves the use of the web only to make the device of this invention.
  • a smooth solid thermoplastic frame essentially incapable of oil absorption is formed by the fused edges of the web with the fusion itself providing the frame and retaining means.
  • the fiber-forming materials which are effective as fibrous webs in carrying out the process of this invention are those which are preferentially wetted by the oil with an oil-water mixture to the extent that water will be rejected from the internal voids of the web while the oil will still be retained. While not all fiber-forming materials are useful for this purpose, it has been observed that a large variety of fiber-forming materials will function within the scope of this disclosure. These materials may be defined broadly as those materials (normally polymeric) which when immersed in an oil-water mixture, allow the oil to displace water from a smooth surface thereof to form a contact angle with said surface of less than Generally the effectiveness of the fiber-forming material has an inverse relationship to the size of the above-described contact angle.
  • Polypropylene and polyethylene surfaces are two materials which are preferred because they allow the oil to assume the contact angle of substantially 0.
  • Surface energy parameters for the components of the particular system (the system being defined as the combination of water, oil and the fiber) are known or determinable by methods well known in the art. The following criteria are employed to determine whether a particular fibrous material will function within the scope of the invention.
  • the work of adhesion (W,,) of an oil/solid (i.e. fiber) interface is first calculated. Then, the work of cohesion (W,.) of the oil/water interface is calculated.
  • the following mathematical relationships may be applied to determine the usefulness of the particular fiber-forming material in practicing the invention:
  • Polymeric fibers found to provide adequate results in falling within the criteria defined above include polyolefin fibers, such as polypropylene, polyethylene and copolymers thereof, poly 4-methylpentene, arylene and styrene polymers, as well as polyesters, polyamides and polycarbonates.
  • polyolefin fibers such as polypropylene, polyethylene and copolymers thereof, poly 4-methylpentene, arylene and styrene polymers, as well as polyesters, polyamides and polycarbonates.
  • the work of adhesion may be characterized as the in terfacial tension between water and the oil in question plus the interfacial tension between water and the solid fiber-forming material minus the interfacial tension between the oil and the solid fiber-forming material.
  • the work of cohesion may be characterized as twice the interfacial tension between the oil and water.
  • fiber-forming materials useful in practicing the invention may be defined as those interacting within an oil-water system to satisfy the relationships mentioned earlier.
  • the preferred relationship is that defined by W,,W, is 20.
  • This relationship defines materials which are substantially totally hydrophobic in which, when employed in practicing the invention reject water vigorously from web voids and retain oil.
  • fibrous materials satisfying this relationship include polypropylene, polyethylene, polytrifluorochloroethylene, and polytetrafluoroethylene.
  • the other formula, i.e. W,,-W,. is includes both the preferred materials exemplified above and other less preferred materials, i.e. those exhibiting lower levels of hydrophobicity.
  • Prewetting may be accomplished by soaking in oil immediately prior to setting up the system. If the oil is in the form of a discrete layer on top of the water, then this wetting may be accomplished by placing the device initially only in the oil layer. These is a possibility that some water may also be found within the web voids with the less preferred materials, if these materials are not prewet with oil.
  • Webs may be formed employing one of several processes well known in the art. Particularly useful webs may be formed according to the teachings of US. Pat. Nos. 2,571,457 and 3,231,639. It is to be understood that within the scope of this invention fiber diameters and web densities may be varied over a considerably wide range depending upon the particular oil-separating operation involved. For most operations, webs including fibers ranging in diameter from 0.1 microns to 250 microns have proved effective; acceptable web density, expressed as a percent of fiber density, ranges from about 2 to 65 and preferably 4 to 35. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that at any given fiber diameter the density of the web will affect the rate of oil uptake for any given mixture.
  • webs are employed comprised of fibers having diameters ranging from 0.1 microns to approximately 100 microns; web density, expressed as percentage of fiber density may range from 2 to 35 percent. Preferably in this type of application 90 percent of the fiber comprising the web are within the diameter ranging from between 1 to about 1 1 microns and the preferred density, expressed as the percentage of fiber density, ranges between about 4 to about 10. While, of course, the specific character of the web will vary with the particular use, it has been generally found that parameters above discussed are preferred for most food usages.
  • the process of this invention is comprised of forming a receptacle with a fibrous web thereby establishing a separation system comprising the fibrous web and a water-immiscible oil in an aqueous medium.
  • the separation system is defined as one in which the work of adhesion for the system as a whole is greater than l/2 to l times the value of the work of cohesion for the oil-water portion of the system.
  • the system is further defined as one in which the contact angle formed by the oil in the presence and a smooth surface of the fiber-forming material is less than After the system has been formed, the web is substantially saturated with oil by absorption. After, substantial saturation has taken place, the oil is forced into the receptacle defined by the web by hydrostatic pressure.
  • the dry device of this invention float on the surface of the oil and water mixture. As the oil is absorbed in the web, the device becomes heavier and slowly sinks. After complete absorption, it is preferred that the receptacle portion of the device above the area of the web be the only part above the surface of the liquid. In general, the lower the device rides in the mixture the more hydrostatic pressure is generated upon the web as a whole and the quicker will be the flow of oil into the receptacle defined by the web. Removal of oil from the receptacle is quite easy to accomplish. Depending upon the size of the receptacle it may be manually lifted and poured or it may be pumped out by any conventional pumping means.
  • larger webs For removing oil slicks from fairly large bodies of water or for other applications involving large surface areas larger webs may be used. With larger devices, however, better support for the receptacle should be provided. Support for the external as well as the internal portion of the web may be preferred when for example the device is used on open water, such as a lake or pond.
  • the process for removal of oil can be made continuous by using a vacuum pump attached to one or a group of receptacles. The pump may remove the oil to a central reservoir and also serves to increase the rate of flow of the oil to the recepta cle by building negative pressure.
  • the vacuum pump will function if the oil inlet is placed in the oil it may be desired to provide a sealed cover for the receptacle with an opening only for the oil inlet portion of the pump.
  • the covering provides for an even more greatly increased rate of flow of oil because the vacuum pressure is present to help draw the oil into the receptacle initially.
  • the pump aids in increasing the rate before any oil is present in the receptacle. With vacuum pressure applied, the receptacle will generally start to fill without complete saturation of the web.
  • FIGS. 1 and 3 are isometric views showing the fibrous web retained between the frame 7 and the second member 6.
  • FIGS. 2 and 41 are cross-sectional views of the device with the latter view illustrati g the position of the device in an oilwater mixture after substantial oil absorption by the web has taken place.
  • FIG. 3 is an isometric view of the device in an open position prior to the insertion of the web 10.
  • the web 10 is disposed about the base 12 and the bridging member 8 attached to the frame 6.
  • the retaining member 7 is then positioned to retain the web by rotating it about pivot 14.
  • the releasable locking means 4 is then inserted through the opening 16 in the frame 6 with the lip 5 resting upon the ledge 15 of opening 16.
  • the web is now firmly retained and the device is ready for use as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the device is then placed in an oil-water mixture as in FIG. 4 by means of the handle 2 and the web either prewet with oil or not depending upon the fiber, and the separation process is started.
  • EXAMPLE 1 250 g. of mineral oil was mixed with approximately 1,500 m]. of water at room temperature in a cylindrical glass vessel having a depth of 10.0 cm. and a diameter of 19.0 cm. The oil had a viscosity of 15.67/18.14 centistokes at F. A web of polypropylene microfibers having a density expressed as a percentage of fiber density of 9 percent and having 90 percent of the fibers with a diameter between 1 and 1 1 microns was used. The web measured 10.16 by 10.16 cm. and weighed 1.35 g. and was securely anchored in a device illustrated by the drawings. The fibers, when in the device, formed a receptacle of 7.62 cm. in diameter and 3.81 cm. in depth.
  • the receptacle was then lowered into the oil and water mixture and it floated on the surface of the mixture.
  • the oil passed through the fibers to the inside of the receptacle to the exclusion of the water. After approximately 15 minutes, most of the oil appeared to have been removed from the mixture.
  • the mass of oil collected and removed was found to be 238 g. and the microfiber web contained g. of oil. The total mass of oil removed from the mixture, therefore, was 248 g. or 99.2 percent of the oil originally present.
  • EXAMPLE 2 200 g. of rendered beef kidney fat was mixed with approximately 3,000 ml. of water at 190 F. in a 4,000 ml. metal beaker 15.2 cm. diameter and 20.3 cm. in depth. The mixture was held at a temperature between 190 and 200 F. A web of polypropylene microfibers measuring 10.16 by 10.16 cm. and weighing 1.3 g. was securely fastened around the device other fibers that which may be used to practice the teachings of this invention. One of the materials, nylon, is a member of the class of fibers which must be preset with oil prior to use. In this instance, the web was placed in the oil layer of the mix- 5 tures and the layer itself preset the fibers.
  • Some of the fibers which require prewetting with oil prior to use may be preferred for certain applications where specific properties, e.g., flexibility, heat resistance, shear strength, etc. are particularly useful; and, as indicated in the table below, these 10 fibers still remove extremely great amounts of oil especially when compared to other separation means currently available.
  • 1,500 ml. of water and 200 g. of oil were added to a cylindrical glass vessel having a depth of 10.0 cm. and a diameter of 19.0 cm. The device was then placed in the mixtures as in the earlier examples with each of the fiber samples used in examples 5 to 10 with the results as indicated in the table below:
  • the microfibers had a density expressed as a percent of fiber density of 6.8 percent and 90 percent of the fibers had a diameter of between 1 and 5 microns.
  • the device was then floated in the fat and water and the mixture and the beef fat passed through the fibers to the inside of the receptacle to the exclusion of the water.
  • the device was emptied periodically when the oil level was 1.27 to 1.905 cm. from the top of the vessel. After minutes, most of the oil appeared to have been removed from the mixture.
  • the mass of fat collected was 186 g. and the web contained 12 g. of fat.
  • EXAMPLE 3 The web of example 1 was employed with the ingredients of example 2. The same procedure was followed and the amount of fat collected was measured after 10 minutes. 195 g. of fat were separated which amounted to 97.5 percent of the fat originally available.
  • EXAMPLE 4 200 g. of white mineral oil (viscosity of 15.67/18.14 centistokes at 100 F.) and 100 g. of water were mixed with a high shear mixer until a homogeneous suspension was achieved. This suspension was poured into the device used in the preceding examples having a depth of 6.35 cm. and a EXAMPLE 1 1 to remove liquefied oleophilic materials during the preparation of barbequed hamburger. A polypropylene microfiber web 10.16 by 10.16 cm. and weighing 1.2 g. was used in the device. 90 percent of the fibers had diameters between 1 and 10 microns and a density expressed as percent of fiber density of 8.1 percent.
  • the sample was prepared in the following manner. Part of a portion of ground beef was set aside for subsequent fat extraction and the remainder was combined with the following in- (V-8 is a trademark of Campbell Soup Co. and, according to the label, contains vegetable juices, salt, monosodium glutamate, vitamin C and flavoring.
