Definitions

  • the conventional method which at present is the only possible one, comprises in principle the steps of removing the oil in a chemical and mechanical way by washing the surfaces in a liquid, usually water, which advantageously is heated and to which grease or oil solving chemicals are added.
  • a liquid usually water
  • the chemical attack is combined with a mechanical effect which, for example, most easily can be achieved by brushing.
  • the solvent is brought into a more intimate contact with the impurities. This operation usually is followed by flush cleaning and drying.
  • the conventional method has several disadvantages, of which by way of example the following ones may be mentioned:
  • washing solution For reducing the number of washing solution changes, very large quantities of washing solution are to be applied in order thereby to be able to clean large amounts of web material until that concentration of oil and impurities is obtained at which the effectiveness of the detergent decreases. Said large quantities require voluminous, bulky means-i.e. vessels-with high space requirements, particularly in their longitudinal extension, and also large and power demanding auxiliary equipment, for example for brushing, pumping etc. A further consequence is the problem connected with taking care of heavily polluted washing solutions at their discharge.
  • the detergents used in relatively large quantities include large amounts of alkali, phosphates, silicates, hydrates and carbonates. These detergents are chemically labile, i.e., they disintegrate and thereby lose their solvating effect and constitute a heavy load for the efliciency degree of installation. This applies particularly to the polyphosphates, which have a very high thermolability. This implies that these polyphosphates disintegrate to orthophosphates and lose their solvating effect. Their emulsifying effect, however, results in emulsions of oil and water of high stability.
  • Trichloroethylene is an expensive product, and its consumption is high.
  • the method and the apparatus according to the invention have as their object to eliminate the aforesaid disadvantages of the known conventional methods.
  • the invention in principle is characterized by a displacement of the oil in a chemical-physical way, which displacement is effected by the use of detergents with a hydrophylic-lypophylic-balance (HLB) of 10 and above, which results in the formation of a labile emulsion, which by constructional means according to the invention very rapidly disintegrates to oil and water.
  • HLB hydrophylic-lypophylic-balance
  • the method operates in principle with the characterizing features as follows.
  • the specially selected detergent can form with water and oil an emulsion only when energy is supplied and the energy level is maintained. As soon as the energy supply ceases, the emulsion reassumes its labile nature, the oil coalescence proceeds rapidly and totally, so that the oil is separated from the water and can be returned to a normal use, for example as fuel oil. Subsequent to the coalescence the detergent is regenerated automatically, and the washing solution free of oil can again be supplied into the process.
  • the apparatus for carrying out the method according to the invention is characterized by means for the supply of energy and an arrangement-the so-called rest roomwhere the quasi-stable emulsion due to the absence of energy reassumes its labile nature, so that the separation of the oil from the washing solution can take place.
  • the web passes through a pair of doctor rolls 1, which under pressure remove rolling oil, for example, to such a degree, that the web only shows a coherent oil film without puddles and runnels.
  • the doctor rolls are made, for example, of metal and coated with felt or plastic, but advantageously with rubber.
  • a collecting vessel (not shown) with flutes for the oil.
  • the web thereafter enters the degreasing zone 2 and passes in turn by a spray ramp 3 spraying a detergent solution onto both surfaces of the web, an energy supply means, which in the example shown is in the form of circular rotary brushes 4 vigorously agitating the washing solution on both surfaces of the web, and a spray ramp 5 for flushing both web surfaces with a clean detergent solution.
  • the detergent solution includes water plus an addition of 0.05% by weight of a detergent with an HLB value at or above 10, for example nonyl-phenolethylene oxide adduct (which is a wetting agent with a relatively high HLB value and with a hydrophilic nature).
  • detergent there is used one (such as the mentioned nonyl-phenol-ethylene oxide adduct) having a non-ionic character, taken alone or in combination with an anionic and/or a cationic detergent.
  • the amount of the selected detergent used in the aqueous solution is from 0.001% to 1.0% by weight; advantageously however, from 0.001% to 0.1% by weight and particularly to 0.05% by weight.
  • the HLB value states the hydrophilic-lypophilic-balance in the chemical composition of a detergent and, thus, is a classification value for detergents with respect to the solubility in oil or water.
  • the value is a limit value at which the detergents change their nature, i.e. change over from oil solubility to water solubility.
  • This detergent solution advantageously may have a temperature of about 60 C., at which the solution speed is greatest, particularly when waxes or similar substances have been applied to the sheet metal surface at working (for example at polishing).
  • the web passes after the degreasing zone again through a pair of doctor rolls 6, which under a relatively high pressure remove the film of detergent solution. Thereafter the web is ready for further working or reeling.
  • the film of detergent solution remaining after the passage of the web through the doctor rolls it may be mentioned that this film has no damaging effect at the further working, particularly at annealing.
  • the detergent solution is supplied from a sedimentation-storage tank 7 by pump 8 to the aforementioned spray system in the brushing and flushing zones. In both of said zones, a relatively high energy amount is supplied to the solution and thereby imparts to the solution a temporary emulsion stability (quasistability), which contributes to lifting the oil remaining on the web therefrom and emulsifying it.
  • the emulsion is pumped, by pump 8, from a collecting vessel 9 in direct connection with the degreasing zone to the aforesaid sedimentationstorage tank, the so-called rest room. Heat is supplied to the rest room and through the degreasing operation, at between 30 C. and 80 0, preferably between 50 C. and 70 C., and suitably at about 60 C.
  • coalescence filter is applied, either in combination with said rest room or without the same.
  • the detergent amounts to be added for bringing about the results characterizing the invention are almost negligible (0.05 by weight) relative to the solution volume,
  • the detergent is regenerated after the oil separation and, thus, is not lost, except for a certain very small waste.
  • the volume of the washing solution is only a fraction of the volume required for conventional cleaning and need not be changed.
  • a method of environment protective degreasing of stainless steel web material which comprises the steps of,
  • a method according to claim 1 characterized in that the flushing is carried out with a clean washing solution by spraying.
  • the detergent used is a composition including both a nonionic compound and a detergent selected from the group consisting of anionic and cationic compounds.
