Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the preparation of light-colored, storage-stable nonionic surfactants, in which the alkoxylation is carried out in the presence of reducing agents and typical alkoxylation catalysts.
- Nonionic surfactants generally represent adducts of ethylene and / or propylene oxide with compounds having active hydrogen atoms or esters. Typical examples are the ethylene oxide adducts with fatty alcohols or triglycerides, which are used as raw materials for the production of liquid detergents or cosmetics Products are of great importance.
- a known problem of ethoxylation carried out on an industrial scale consists in an undesired discoloration of the reaction products, which occurs increasingly in the cases in which are based on low-refined raw materials, for example tri or partial glycerides.
- Nonionic surfactants which are produced by the processes of the prior art can therefore typically contain 3 to 10 ppm of free formaldehyde and 25 to 50 ppm of free formic acid.
- the object of the invention was therefore to develop a process for producing light-colored, storage-stable nonionic surfactants which is free from the disadvantages described.
- the invention relates to a process for the preparation of light-colored, storage-stable nonionic surfactants, in which compounds with active hydrogen atoms or fatty acid esters are reacted with ethylene and / or propylene oxide in the presence of reducing agents and alkoxylation catalysts.
- reducing agents during the alkoxylation not only leads to products of a color quality which is significantly improved compared to the prior art, so that complex and not always satisfactory subsequent bleaching operations can be saved, but that the nonionic ones Even after prolonged storage, surfactants show no tendency to form undesired formaldehyde or formic acid.
- This also applies to the secondary products which are produced on the basis of the nonionic surfactants stabilized according to the invention, for example fatty alcohol ether sulfates, mixed ethers, ether carboxylic acids and the like.
- al) fatty alcohols such as, for example, capronic alcohol, caprylic alcohol, capric alcohol, lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, palmoleyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, isostearyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, elaidyl alcohol, petroselinyl alcohol, linolyl alcohol, linoleyl alcohol, linoleyl alcohol, linoleyl alcohol, linoleyl alcohol, Erucyl alcohol and their technical mixtures, such as are obtained, for example, in the hydrogenation of methyl ester fractions of native origin or of aldehydes from Roelen's oxosynthesis.
- Fatty alcohols with 12 to 18 carbon atoms are preferred, for example technical coconut or tallow fatty alcohol cuts.
- Also suitable as a further group of fatty alcohols are the so-called Guerbet alcohols, which are produced by alkali-catalyzed condensation of 2 moles of fatty alcohol and can contain 12 to 32 carbon atoms.
- fatty acids and hydroxy fatty acids e.g. Caproic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmoleic acid, stearic acid, isostearic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, petroselinic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, ricinoleic acid, elaeostearic acid, arachidic acid, gadoleic acid, behenic acid and behenic acid and behenic acid and behenic acid and behenic acid and behenic acid for example in the pressure splitting of natural fats and oils.
- Fatty acids with 12 to 18 carbon atoms are preferred, for example technical coconut or tallow fatty acids.
- alkylphenols a3) alkylphenols, polyglycols, fatty amines, vicinal hydroxy / alkoxy-substituted alkanes, which can be obtained, for example, by ring opening of epoxy compounds with alcohols or carboxylic acids, and secondary alcohols.
- fatty acid esters are used as starting materials.
- two types can basically be distinguished:
- methyl esters of fatty acids with 12 to 18 carbon atoms and in particular technical coconut or tallow fatty acid methyl esters are used.
- R ⁇ CO represents an aliphatic acyl radical having 6 to 22 carbon atoms and R ⁇ and R 5 independently of one another are hydrogen or likewise an aliphatic acyl radical having 6 to 22 carbon atoms.
- R ⁇ and R 5 independently of one another are hydrogen or likewise an aliphatic acyl radical having 6 to 22 carbon atoms.
- Typical examples of this are synthetic, but preferably natural triglycerides such as palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, linseed oil, lard oil, beef tallow and lard. Castor oil or hardened castor oil is preferably used.
- fatty acid partial glycerides in particular monoglycerides of fatty acids having 12 to 18 carbon atoms, are used instead of the full esters.
- Technical coconut fatty acid monoglycerides are particularly preferred here.
- Suitable reducing agents for the purposes of the process according to the invention are hypophosphorous acid and / or alkali boranates, in particular sodium boranate, in quantities of 0.01 to 1, preferably 0.1 to 0.5% by weight, based on the compounds having active hydrogen atoms or fatty acid esters - can be used.
- the alkoxylation catalysts are known for this function.
- suitable homogeneous systems ie systems soluble in the reaction product, are alkali metal and alkaline earth metal hydroxides, carbonates, C 1 -C 4 alcoholates, phenolates and ether carbonate acid salts. Typical examples are potassium hydroxide, sodium methylate, strontium phenolate and barium salts of ether carboxylic acids.
- the homogeneous systems can be used as aqueous or alcoholic solutions.
- sodium boranate is used as the reducing agent, the use of anhydrous catalysts, such as. B. Sodium methylate in methanol.
- Suitable heterogeneous, ie insoluble in the reaction product are optionally calcined alkaline earth metal phosphates and calcined or hydrophobicized hydrotalcites, as are known, for example, from German patent applications DE-Al 38 43 713 and DE-Al 40 10 606 (Henkel).
- the alkoxylation catalysts can usually be used in amounts of 0.1 to 5, preferably 0.5 to 1,% by weight, based on the compounds having active hydrogen atoms or fatty acid esters.
- the reaction of the compounds with active hydrogen atoms or the fatty acid esters with ethylene and / or propylene oxide can be carried out in a manner known per se at temperatures from 120 to 200, preferably 150 to 180 ° C. and pressures of 1 to 5 bar.
- the amount of alkylene oxide to be added is not critical and can be, for example, 1 to 100, preferably 2 to 50 and in particular 2 to 20, moles of ethylene oxide per mole of H-active compound or ester.
- the non-ionic surfactants obtainable by the process according to the invention are light-colored and - depending on the catalyst - can be either a conventional or a conventional have narrow homolog distribution. Even after storage for 3 months in the presence of light and atmospheric oxygen, the free formaldehyde and free formic acid content in the products produced by the process according to the invention is below the analytical detection limit.
- Another object of the invention therefore relates to the use of reducing agents for the production of light-colored and storage-stable nonionic surfactants by reacting compounds with active hydrogen atoms or fatty acid esters in the presence of alkoxylation catalysts with ethylene and / or propylene oxide.
- non-ionic surfactants obtainable by the process according to the invention are suitable for the production of detergents, dishwashing detergents and cleaning products and products for hair and body care, in which they are present in amounts of 1 to 50, preferably 5 to 30,% by weight. % - based on the funds - may be included.
- Triglyceride 7.1% by weight free glycerin 10.1% by weight
- Example 1 was repeated using 589.3 g of coconut fatty acid monoglyceride, 6.3 g of sodium methylate in the form of a 30% strength by weight methanol solution and 513.9 g of ethylene oxide. Instead of the hypophosphorous acid, 3 g of sodium boranate was added as the reducing agent. About 1100 g of coconut monoglyceride ethoxylate were obtained; the storage tests were also carried out analogously to Example 1.
- Example 1 was repeated using 589.3 g of coconut fatty acid monoglyceride, 5.5 g of potassium hydroxide and 513.9 g of ethylene oxide. The addition of hypophosphorous acid was dispensed with. About 1100 g of coconut monoglyceride ethoxylate were obtained; the storage tests were also carried out analogously to example 1.
- Hardened castor oil + 7 EO Hardened castor oil + 7 EO.
- About 720 g of the ethylene oxide adduct were obtained; the storage tests were also carried out analogously to Example 1.
- Example 3 was repeated using 564.2 g of hardened castor oil, 3.0 g of potassium hydroxide and 184.8 g of ethylene oxide; the addition of hypophosphorous acid has been dispensed with. About 720 g of the ethylene oxide adduct were obtained; the storage tests were also carried out analogously to Example 1.
