14 Claims, No Drawings STABILIZATION OF SATURATED HALOGENATED ALlPHATlC HYDROCARBONS This is a continuation-in-part of my copending application Ser. No. 753,854, filed on Aug. 20, 1968, and entitled Stabilization of Saturated l-lalogenated Aliphatic Hydrocarbons, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to the stabilization of halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons saturated in C, to C, and particularly trichloro-l ,1 ,l ethane.
It is very well known that saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons containing certain halogenated substitutes, particularly chlorine, are unstable when placed in contact with metals, such as aluminum or its alloys and magnesium or its alloys, among others. Their insta bility is translated into decomposition of the halogenated hydrocarbon with concomittant formation of halogenated hydracid and coloration of the halogenated hydrocarbon. This constituted a serious inconvenience as to the application of these halogenated hydrocarbons as solvent for grease removal and/or for the cleaning of metal parts or components.
It is also known to use trioxane as a stabilizer. However, at rates of 0.5 to 3 percent by weight, the interval of stabilization time preceding the appearance 'of acid vapors or of a coloration varies from only minutes to 48 hours, which is insufficient for the prolonged use of trichloro-l,1,l ethane in degreasing or cleaning of metal or other objects.
The objective of this invention is to remedy the inconvenience cited above by allowing efficient and prolonged stabilization of the aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbons and thus the carrying out of the grease removal and/or cleaning of metal parts, plastics, textile or other materials, without noticing any degradation of the solvent and of the materials to be treated.
According to the invention, the stabilization of the aliphatic saturated halogenated solvents in C, to C, and particularly of trichloro-l,l,l ethane is accomplished by incorporating therein trioxane associated with an aliphatic alcohol, particularly tertio butanol and/or an epoxide which is liquid at ordinary temperature, particularly butylene oxide.
According to the invention, from 0.001 to 15 percent, preferably from 1 to 5 percent, of trioxane is associated with from 0.1 to 7.5 percent of said aliphatic alcohol and/or from 0.1 to 4 percent of said epoxide. The combination is then incorporated into the halogenated solvent. These percentages are all expressed in weight percentages based on the amount of halogenated saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon.
It has been discovered that the association of the aforementioned organic compounds reinforces the stabilizing effect of trioxane and the stabilization of the saturated halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbons with the aid of the combinations of the aforementioned stabilizers proved particularly advantageous due to the fact that the stabilizing combinations just described have at comparable concentration a clearly higher stabilizing action than the stabilizing action of each of the components taken individually.
It is also possible to associate one or several components having at least one of the following functions, groups or radicals to the trioxane, without going beyond the scope of the invention: thiol, ester such as alkyl orthoformate, alkyl orthoacetate, aliphatic or cyclic acetal, aliphatic organic acid; imino-ether, such as N-alkyl alkoxy-l ethanimine and ketimine such as N- alkyl isopropanimine, an oxygen containing heterocyclic nucleus such as pyrannic heterocycle and/or a nitrogen containing heterocyclic nucleus such as pyrrolic, pyrrolinic and morpholinic heterocycle, alkyl isocyanate, alkyl thiocyanate, alkyl isothiocyanate, alkyl orthocarbonate and carbonate, and specifically an alkyl nitrile such as acetonitrile and nitroalkane such as nitromethane. The aforementioned alkyl groupings have from one to four carbon atoms and the boiling points of the compounds associated with trioxane and used in the stabilization formulas should not differ by more than 50, and preferably by not more than 25 C, from the boiling point of the halogenated saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon in question. The foregoing materials may be associated with the trioxane in an amount within the range of 0.1 to 4 percent by weight and preferably in an amount within the range of 0.3 to 2 percent by weight, based upon the solvent composition.
Among the saturated aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbon derivatives in C, to C, capable of being stabilized by the method of the invention, the following list of compounds may be cited, but this list cannot be considered as limiting: dichloroethanes, trichloroethanes, and particularly trichloro-l, 1,1 ethane, tetrachloroethanes, dichloro-1,2 propane, dichloro-l,2 and -2,3 butanes, tribromo ethanes and dibromo-l ,2-propane.
The invention relates also to the stabilized compounds comprising one or several halogenated saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons in C, to C,, particularly trichloro-l,l ,1 ethane containing from 0.001 to 15 percent by weight of trioxane associated with 0.1 to 7.5 percent by weight of an aliphatic alcohol, particularly tertio butanol, and/or with 0.1 to 4 percent by weight of an expoxide liquid at ordinary temperature, particularly butylene oxide. These compounds may also contain an alkyl nitrile in C, to C,, such as acetonitrile, propionitrile and butyronitrile, in an amount within the range of 0.1 to 4 percent by weight and preferably 0.3 to 2 percent by weight, and/or nitroalkane in C, to C,, such as nitromethane, nitroethane, nitropropane, and nitrobutane, in an amount within the range of 0.1 to 4 percent by weight and preferably 0.3 to 2 percent by weight.
The following examples are merely for the purpose of better pointing out the advantages and different aspects of the invention and should not be considered as restricting its scope:
EXAMPLES l to 3 To show the stabilizing effect of the association of trioxane, tertiary butanol and butylene oxide on trichloro-l ,l ,l ethane, the following test has been conducted:
40 ml trichloro-1,l,l ethane are placed in a reflux condenser along with the stabilizer in the form of an aluminum plate of 99.9 percent purity, 1 mm thick, mm long and 12 mm wide. This plate is partly immersed into the trichloro-l,l,l ethane. The heating time in the reflux condenser preceding the release of acid vapors and/or the buildup of a coloration of trichloro-l ,l ,1 ethane indicates the stabilization aptitude of the tested stabilizer combination.
The following table compiles the result obtained from the stabilization test of trichloro-l ,l ,1 ethane. For comparison and to better show the interest in this invention this table also shows the result of tests carried out individually with the following compounds: trioxane and tertiary butanol. A control test with trichloro- 1,1,1 ethane containing no stabilizer also is included in this table.
