Definitions

  • Australian Patent 476508 discloses an insecticidal powdered composition useful as a sorptive dust, insecticide which is effective on contact with the insect's waxy epicuticle.
  • the inorganic sorptive particles are sized in the range of about 100 to about 500 Tyler screen mesh and are selected from such materials as diatomaceous earth, bentonites, sub-bentonites, montmorillonites, pyrophiUite, Fuller's earth, silica flour carbon and perlite.
  • Adhered to the surface of such particles is a coating of sorptive silica gel, this gel ranging from about 0.1% to 10% by weight of the total weight of the coated particles after drying.
  • the composition preferably has a packed bulk density from about 15 to about 100 lbs per cubic foot.
  • Australian Patent 476508 calls for in-situ gelling of the silica gel onto the inert carrier, the inert carriers suitable in the practice of the invention of the said patent being specified in the body and claims thereof.
  • the silica gel and inert carrier mix In the preparation of the product of the said patent the silica gel and inert carrier mix must be washed and decanted several times to remove the sodium sulphate produced during the in-situ gellation. After washing, the product is filtered and dried.
  • the water content of a typical formulation, after filtration, is about 70%, that is for each tonne of dry product made, 2.3 or so tonnes of water must be dried off. Obviously the cost of this drying is a significant factor in production costs and any saving in energy costs is advantageous.
  • inorganic particles may be coated with an adherent coating of a sorptive silica gel composition, especially hydrogels, and that the particles thus coated are highly effective as insecticides.
  • the particles used preferably should have a sorptive surface, that is the particles themselves should be of a sorptive character.
  • a compound such as ammonium fluosilicate is included, which is considered to aid in attracting and/or holding the particles to naturally occurring objects including plants and insects.
  • the preferred particles for use with the present process are diatomaceous earth (diatoraite) , si'rice it has-been found that such particles are quite effective and also are of comparatively low cost and are readily available.
  • diatomaceous earth diatomaceous earth
  • si'rice it has-been found that such particles are quite effective and also are of comparatively low cost and are readily available.
  • various other sorptive materials may be used, including various bentonites, sub-bentonites, montmorillonites, pyrophyllite, fuller's earths, silica flour, carbon, perlite, and other natural or synthetic substantial equivalents.
  • the size of the inorganic particles can be varied to a considerable extent, although the size of the particles is important with regard to the ease with which the insecticide can be distributed.
  • the particles should be sufficiently large and/or heavy so that they are capable of settling from "normal” or reasonably quiet air, that is at least about 400 mesh (Tyler screen size) or greater. Because the particles must, however, be sufficiently fine so that they can be easily distributed, they should pass a 100 mesh standard Tyler screen and preferably all or substantially all pass a 200 mesh standard Tyler screen.
  • the inorganic particles are coated with an adherent coating of a silica gel, normally a hydrogel.
  • Silica aerogels and hydrogels are well known and are used for many purposes such as in the paper and protective coating fields. These aerogels and hydrogels are considered to be highly absorbent for various materials such as water, oils, waxes, and the like. In general, hydrogels tend to be more absorbent toward water and various compositions which are similar to water than aerogels. Conversely, aerogels tend to absorb waxes and various other related compounds characterized by having comparatively long aliphatic hydrocarbon chains to a greater extent than the hydrogels.
  • the sorptive characteristics of a hydrogel may be changed by various known expedients so as to produce properties which tend to approximate the sorptive properties of an aerogel.
  • the thickness of the silica gel coating on the inorganic particles may be varied considerably and may be either a continuous or discontinuous coating, that is, the inorganic particles may or may not be completely coated.
  • the surface of the inorganic particles must have sufficient silica gel coated thereon, however, to impart the necessary sorptive insecticidal properties to the composition. Since the lipid layer of insects is very thin, only a small amount of sorptive silica gel is necessary to kill the insects, and hence only a small quantity of silica gel coating on the inorganic particles is necessary.
  • the silica gel coating will be at least 0.1 percent by weight of the total weight of the dry coated particles, and preferably at least about 0.2 percent. Insofar as the effectiveness of the insecticidal composition is concerned, there does not appear to be an upper limit on the quantity of the silica gel coating. For economic reasons, however, the quantity of such coating will be kept to a inumum, generally not exceeding approximately 10 percent by weight of the total weight of the coated particles. It should also be noted that the silica gel coated inorganic particles, of course, are applied in powder form as a batch of the finely divided coated particles rather than as single particles. Consequently, it is not essential that every particle in such batch have the same quantity of silica gel coating, as it is the effect of the total batch which is significant.
  • the total batch must contain a sufficient quantity of the sorptive silica gel to provide the necessary insecticidal properties rather than the individual particles. Accordingly, based on the total weight of such a batch, the sorptive silica gel should comprise at least about 0.1 percent by weight and preferably at least 0.2 percent.
  • individual particles of the composition may contain little or no silica gel coating. Since the coated particles are used as a batch, however, this will not affect the effectiveness of the composition as an insecticide, so long as the composition as a whole contains the indicated minimum quantity of sorptive silica gel.
  • the composition of coated particles for effective results, will normally have a packed bulk density of about 15 to about 100 pounds/cubic foot, preferably about 20 to about 30 pounds/cubic foot, since the composition may be used in unenclosed areas where the effect of wind must be taken into consideration.
  • the packed bulk density is the weight/unit volume of the powder when packed in a standard cubic foot container and may be determined simply by filling such a container with the powder and weighing the same.
  • the requirement for fresh water is reduced from about 16 tonnes per tonne of product to 3 tonnes per tonne of product.
  • the water content of t-he end product, prior to drying is reduced from 2.3 tonnes or so per tonne of product to about 1 tonne per tonne of product.
  • the drying heat load is reduced from about 10 gigo-joules per tonne of product to about 5 gigo-joules per tonne of product.
  • a process for preparing a powdered insecticidal composition comprising the steps of: forming a silicic acid mix, spraying said mix onto carrier particles of size range 100 to 500 Tyler mesh thereby producing damp sorptive particles coated with said mix in a gel form.
  • an insecticidal composition when prepared by the above process.
  • a method for erradicating insects at a locus by use of an effective amount of an insecticidal composition prepared according to the method above described.
  • sorptive silica gel should be intimately adhered to the inorganic particles as a coating rather than in the form of a mixture of the aerogel or hydrogel and such particles since the degree of adherence produced by mixing is not sufficient because the silica gel and the inorganic particles may be readily separated as, for example, in handling. Further, for reasons which are not clear, the insecticide is not as effective as when a direct, intimate bond is achieved between the silica gel and the inorganic particles.
  • ammonium fluosilicate it has been found advantageous to add ammonium fluosilicate to the silicic acid composition prior to dispersal upon the inorganic sorptive particles. This is in contrast with the method of AU 476508 wherein it was disclosed to add the ammonium fluosilicate to the particles after they had been coated with the silica gel.
  • the ammonium fluosilicate can be sprayed onto the carrier particles prior to spraying the silicic acid mix onto the carrier particles.
  • the ammonium fluosilicate can be sprayed onto the damp sorptive particles coated with the silicic acid mix in a gel form. That is, the ammonium fluosilicate can be added after formation of the silicic acid gel coating and prior to the drying step.
  • ammonium fluosilicate reacts in some manner with the sorptive silica gel to provide the desired electrostatic properties to the particles. It should be used in a quantity of at least about 5% by weight based on the weight of the sorptive silica gel.
  • a dilute sodium silicate solution (equivalent to a 6% Si0 2 by weight solution) was passed through an ion exchange resin and converted to silicic acid., also of 6% content by weight Si0 2 .
  • Ammonium fluosilicate was dissolved in the silicic acid thus produced at a rate of 13.7g per 400g of silicic acid.
  • the resulting mixture was sprayed onto 302g of dry diatomaceous earth to give a 7% silica gel coating.
  • the resulting damp powder was stabilised with ammonia gas and dried in accordance with the process of Australian Patent No 476508.
  • the damp powder contained only 53% water, i.e. 1.1 tonne of water per tonne of product to be removed.
  • Example 2 250g of sodium silicate (at a 6% Si0 2 equivalent content in solution) was gelled with sulfuric acid. The resulting gel was cut into small pieces and washed three times using four volumes of water for each wash. After the last decantation, water was added to make up a total weight of 250g. To this was added 13.2g of ammonium fluosilicate and the mixture was dispersed with a high speed mixer then sprayed onto 272g of dry diatomaceous earth to give a 5% silica gel coating. The resulting damp powder contained only 0.75 tonne of water per tonne of product.
