Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for stabilizing aqueous zeolite suspensions by adding selected nonionic surfactants.
- Zeolites in particular of the zeolite A type, are of particular importance as builders of modern detergents and have largely replaced the polyphosphates that have been used for decades. Their advantages lie not only in their high calcium binding capacity, but also in their high ecotoxicological compatibility [Tens.Surf. Det., 24, 322 (1987)].
- the zeolites are obtained in the form of aqueous suspensions, which can either be stored as such and placed on the market, or can be subjected to spray drying.
- Zeolites have an extremely low solubility in water, so that suspensions of these substances are easy sediment. In the most favorable case, this leads to a phase separation, but usually considerable amounts of the solid separate out on the bottom of the vessels during storage, harden and then have to be separated, comminuted and resuspended with great technical effort. In other cases, the viscosity of the suspension increases so much that decanting or pumping over becomes difficult, if not impossible, and in any case involves considerable product losses.
- German patent application DE 33 30 220 AI proposes adding 0.5 to 5% by weight of a mixture of fatty alcohol ethoxylates and fatty alcohol sulfates or fatty alcohol ether sulfates to the suspensions.
- German patent application DE 34 08 040 A1 describes a process for stabilizing 65% by weight zeolite A suspensions with the aid of 0.01 to 0.25% by weight xanthan gum and carboxyl- or hydroxyl-containing polymers.
- zeolite suspensions can also be stabilized at pH 9 to 10 by adding polyglycol ethers, fatty alcohol ether sulfates, fatty acid alkanolamides or fatty acid monoglycerides.
- the literature also describes the use of numerous other stabilizers, for example polycarboxylates with molecular weights above 1500, phosphonic acids, phosphoric acid esters, alkylbenzenesulfonates, layered silicates [DE-OS 27 388], alkylphenol polyglycol ethers [DE 34 01 861 AI], isotridecyl polyglycol ethers [DE 34 44 311 AI] and addition products of ethylene oxide onto oxo alcohols [DE 37 19 042 AI] are known.
- polycarboxylates with molecular weights above 1500 phosphonic acids, phosphoric acid esters, alkylbenzenesulfonates, layered silicates [DE-OS 27 388], alkylphenol polyglycol ethers [DE 34 01 861 AI], isotridecyl polyglycol ethers [DE 34 44 311 AI] and addition products of ethylene oxide onto oxo alcohols [DE 37 19 042 AI] are known.
- the object of the invention was therefore to develop an improved method for stabilizing aqueous zeolite suspensions which is free from the disadvantages described.
- the invention relates to a process for stabilizing aqueous zeolite suspensions by adding surfactants, which is characterized in that the suspensions are selected from at least one nonionic surfactant from the group consisting of a) Guerbet alcohol polyethylene glycol ethers of the formula (I), R- 1 -O - (CH 2 CH 2 O) m H (l) in which R 1 is a branched alkyl radical having 16 to 20 carbon atoms and m is a number from 3 to 15, b) fatty alcohol polyethylene glycol ethers of the formula (II),
- R 3 O- (CH 2 CHO) p (CH 2 CH 2 O) q H (III) in R 3 for an alkyl radical with 6 to 10 carbon atoms, p for numbers from 1 to 5 and q for numbers of 3 to 15, and d) alkyl and / or alkenyl glycosides of the formula (IV),
- Zeolites are optionally to be understood as meaning water-containing alkali or alkaline earth aluminosilicates of the general formula (V)
- zeolites the aqueous dispersions of which can be stabilized in the process according to the invention, are the naturally occurring minerals clinoptilolite, erionite or chabasite.
- synthetic zeolites are preferred, for example
- the aqueous suspensions can contain the zeolites in amounts of 20 to 60, preferably 25 to 50% by weight.
- Addition products of ethylene oxide and / or propylene oxide with Guerbet or fatty alcohols are known nonionic surfactants which are produced on an industrial scale by the known process of alkoxylation.
- Guerbet alcohol polyethylene glycol ethers (group a) which can be used for the purposes of the process according to the invention are addition products of an average of 3 to 15 mol of ethylene oxide to 1 mol of a branched primary alcohol of the Guerbet type; regarding structure and production of Guerbet alcohols, see Soap, Cosm.Chem. Spec, 52 (1987).
- Typical examples of Guerbet alcohol polyethylene glycol ethers which can be used according to the invention are addition products of 3 to 15 mol of ethylene oxide with 2-hexyldecanol or 2-octyldodecanol.
- Compounds of the formula (I) in which R 1 is a branched alkyl radical having 16 or 20 carbon atoms and m is a number from 3 to 10 are preferred.
- fatty alcohol polyethylene glycol ethers which form group b
- adducts of an average of 1 to 10 moles of ethylene oxide with technical fatty alcohols with 12 to 22 carbon atoms and 1, 2 or 3 double bonds are suitable.
- Typical examples are ethylene oxide adducts with palmitoleyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, elaidyl alcohol, petroselinyl alcohol, linolyl alcohol, linolenyl alcohol, gadoleyl alcohol or erucyl alcohol.
- the fatty alcohol polyethylene glycol ethers can have both a conventional and a narrow homolog distribution.
- fatty alcohol polyethylene glycol ethers can also be used, which are not derived from pure alcohols but from technical cuts, such as those obtained in the selective hydrogenation of fatty acid methyl ester fractions based on vegetable or animal raw materials.
- the technical cuts can also contain saturated fatty alcohols of the C number range mentioned, provided that the iodine number of the fatty alcohol fraction used is at least 10.
- Fatty alcohol polyethylene glycol ethers based on fatty alcohols which have an iodine number of 10 to 125, in particular 55 to 110, are preferably used.
- fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers based on peanut oil, cottonseed oil, coriander oil, soybean oil, beef tallow, rapeseed oil (oleic acid content> 80% by weight), sunflower oil (oleic acid content> 80% by weight) and in particular coconut oil.
- An adduct of 6 to 8 mol of ethylene oxide with a technical oleyl alcohol based on coconut alcohol with an iodine number of 10 to 20 is particularly preferred.
- Fatty alcohol polyglycol ethers are addition products of on average 1 to 5 moles of propylene oxide and 3 to 15 moles of ethylene oxide with fatty alcohols having 8 to 10 carbon atoms.
- the addition of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide can take place statistically (Random distribution).
- the preferred procedure for the preparation of the products is that the fatty alcohols are first reacted with propylene oxide in the presence of typical alkoxylation catalysts, for example sodium methylate or hydrotalcite, the propoxylate is freed from low-boiling impurities, if appropriate by distillation, and then reacted with ethylene oxide (block distribution ).
- typical alkoxylation catalysts for example sodium methylate or hydrotalcite
- the propoxylate is freed from low-boiling impurities, if appropriate by distillation, and then reacted with ethylene oxide (block distribution ).
- alkyl and / or alkenyl glycosides (group d) to be used according to the invention are also known substances. Processes for their preparation are based, for example, on glucose or starch which are reacted with alcohols either directly or via the intermediate stage of the butyl glycosides [US 3,547,828, US 3,839,318 , DE-A-37 23 826].
- the alkyl radical R 4 in formula (IV) can be derived from primary saturated or monounsaturated alcohols having 6 to 22, preferably 12 to 18, carbon atoms. Typical examples are capronic alcohol, caprylic alcohol, capric alcohol, lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, palmitoleyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, elaidyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, petroselinyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol or erucyl alcohol and their technical mixtures.
- Alkyl or alkenyl glycosides of the formula (IV) which are particularly suitable for the stabilization of aqueous zeolite suspensions can be derived from aldoses or ketoses. Because of the higher reactivity and the technical availability, primarily the glycosides of the reducing saccharides and especially glucose come into consideration. The preferred alkyl and / or alkenyl glycosides are therefore the alkyl and / or alkenyl glucosides.
- the stabilizers used are alkyl glycosides of the formula (IV) in which R 4 is a linear alkyl radical having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, G is a glucose unit and x is a number from 1 to 3 .
- the stabilizers of groups a) to d) can be used individually or in mixtures. It is also possible to combine several stabilizers within groups a) to d). Mixtures of addition products with an average of 7 and 9 moles of ethylene oxide on technical have proven particularly effective Oleyl alcohol in a weight ratio of 20:80 to 80:20 has been proven.
- a mixture comprising i) 10 to 25% by weight of a fatty alcohol polyethylene glycol ether of the formula (11) / in which R2 is an alkenyl radical having 12 to 18 carbon atoms and n is a number from 5 to 10, and ii) 75 to 90% by weight of an alkyl glycoside of the formula (IV) in which R 4 is an alkyl radical having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, G is a glucose unit and x is a number from 1.1 to 1.4 .
- Mixtures of this type are obtained, for example, as an intermediate in the production of alkyl glucosides and can be used without further purification to stabilize aqueous zeolite suspensions [DE 36 03 581 AI].
- the introduction of the stabilizers into the suspension is not critical and can, for. B. mechanically by stirring, optionally at elevated temperatures of 50 ° C. There is no chemical reaction.
