Description
BLEACHING WITH POLYOXOMETALATES AND AIR OR MOLECULAR
OXYGEN
This invention concerns methods for bleaching fabrics and household hard surfaces with peroxides sourced directly from air.
Oxygen bleaches are well known for their ability to remove stains from substrates. Traditionally the substrate, such as a fabric, is subjected to hydrogen peroxide or substances which can generate hydroperoxyl radicals. The latter may be inorganic or organic peroxides. Generally these systems must be activated.
Temperatures of 60°C and higher are effective to accomplish the activation.
Unfortunately, high temperatures lead to inefficient cleaning. High temperatures can also cause damage to the substrates.
A preferred approach to generating hydroperoxyl bleach radicals is the use of an inorganic peroxide coupled with an organic precursor compound. These systems are employed for many commercial laundry powders. European systems are based on - 20 tetraacetyl ethylene diamine (TAED) in combination with sodium perborate or percarbonate. Well known in the United States is a laundry bleach product based on the . precursor sodium nanoyloxybenzenesulphonate (SNOBS) coupled with sodium perborate. Precursor systems are effective yet they also exhibit several disadvantages.
Precursors are moderately sophisticated organic molecules requiring multi-step manufacturing processes resulting in high capital costs. Secondly, precursor systems have large formulation space requirements; a significant percent of a laundry powder must be devoted to the bleach components leaving less room for other actives and complicating development of concentrated powders. Further, precursor systems do not bleach very efficiently in countries where consumers have wash habits entailing low dosage, short wash times, cold temperatures and low wash liquor to cloth ratios.
th
A long cherished dream has been to use air directly as the oxygen source. Air would avoid costly synthesized organic precursors and persalts.
Canadian Patent 2,183,814 (Reinhardt et al.) reports use of Polyoxometalates as bleaching catalysts for removal of stain from fabrics. The process requires an active- oxygen agent which may be hydrogen peroxide, organic peracids, inorganic peracids, organic persalts or inorganic persalts. Molecular oxygen or air are neither indicated nor suggested as the oxidation source.
WO 98/20101 (Mishra et al.) reports use of tungsten salts for catalyzing bleaching by hydrogen peroxide, percarbonates, perborates, various hydrogen peroxide adducts and mixtures thereof. Likewise, this disclosure requires that the source of oxygen be a liquid or a solid peroxy chemical. This patent is focused upon the removal of stains from various hard surfaces and textiles.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a bleaching system with stain removal efficacy based on molecular oxygen.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a bleaching system which is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. .
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a bleaching system Co based on molecular oxygen operable at relatively low temperatures, short contact times and low dosage requirements.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for bleaching laundry or household surfaces which includes: i) providing a wash medium with a bleaching composition comprising polyoxometalates; and
(i) contacting a stained substrate for a time and in an amount sufficient to remove the stains, wherein air is employed as a primary source of oxygen atoms for bleaching.
Now it has been discovered that stains can be removed simply by air oxidation through the catalysis of polyoxometalates. Expensive oxygen bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide, organic peracids, inorganic peracids, organic persalts, inorganic persalts, Caro’s acid, Caroates and bleach precursors are found to be unnecessary.
A polyoxometalate is an essential feature of the present invention.
Polyoxometalates are inorganic complexes which are transition metal-oxygen-anion clusters. They have defined oligomeric or polymeric structural units which form spontaneously under appropriate conditions in an aqueous medium from simple : compounds of vanadium, niobium, tantalum, molybdenum or tungsten. The : 15 polyoxometalates are subdivided into isopoly- and heteropolyoxometalates (see M.T.
Pope. Heteropoly and Isopoly Oxometalates, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1983). [sopolyoxometalates are the simpler of the forms. They can be described as binary, i.e. containing only metal ion and oxygen, oxide anions of the formula [M,0,]"". . 20 Typical examples are [M0,07]* , [WO7044]% , [MogO16]* and [Mo3¢O112]%.
In contrast, heteropolyoxometalates also contain further non-metal, semi-metal } and/or transition metal ions. Heteropolyoxometalates of the general form [XxAaMmOy]™ » Where X is a nonmetal or semi-metal ion and A is a transition metal ion, possess one or more so-called heteroatoms X and/or A. One example is [PW12040]> (where X=P). By substitution of MnOy structural units in both isopoly- and heteropolyoxometalates for a transition metal ion A it is possible to introduce redoxidative transition metal ions of type A into the solid structures. Known examples include transition metal-doped, so-called Keggin anions of the formula [APW,035]""* where A=Zn, Co, Ni, Mn (J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 113, page 7209, 1991) and Dawson anions [AP,W,70¢,]7"* where A=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu (J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 109, page 402, 1987), which may also contain bound water of crystallization. Further substitutions, including different transition metal ions, are known, for example [WZnMny(ZnWg034),]'> (J. Amer.
Chem. Soc. 116, page 5509, 1994). The charge of the above-described anions are compensated by protons (thereby giving the corresponding poly acids) or by cations (formation of poly-acid salts = heteropolyoxometalates).
For simplicity, the term polyoxometalate as used in the description embraces not only the salts of the polyacids but also the corresponding poly acids themselves.
The bleaching catalysts used in accordance with the invention preferably have the formula (1) (Qa(AXMnOy Z(H,0)4)cH;0 Mm where Q, A,X, M,Z, q, a, x, m, y, z, b and c are defined as follows:

of WO 00/39264 PCT/EP99/09330
Z is one or more anions selected from the group consisting of OH, F,, CI’, Br, I’,

In the above formula q, a, x, m, y, z, b and c are preferably integers in their respective ranges.
Particular preference is given to the following polyoxometalates:

Under certain circumstances, reductants may provide additional improvement in bleaching activity. Typical but not at all limiting examples of useful reductants are sodium ascorbate and hydroxylamine. When present the reductant and polyoxometallate should be in a relative weight ratio from about 10,000:1 to about 1:100, preferably from about 1,000:1 to about 100:1. :

Bleach systems of the present invention may be employed for a wide variety of purposes, but are especially useful in the cleaning of laundry. When intended for such purpose, the polyoxometallate will usually also be combined with surface-active materials, detergency builders and other known ingredients of laundry detergent formulations.
The surface-active material may be naturally derived, or synthetic material selected from anionic, nonionic, amphoteric, zwitterionic, cationic actives and mixtures thereof. Many suitable actives are commercially available and are fully described in the literature, for example in “Surface Active Agents and Detergents”, Volumes I and II, by
Schwartz, Perry and Berch. The total level of the surface-active material may range up to 50% by weight, preferably being from 0.5 to 40% by weight of the composition, most preferably 4 to 25%. ) 1 5 Synthetic anionic surface-active materials are usually water-soluble alkali metal salts of organic sulphates and sulphonates having alkyl radicals containing from about 8
B to about 22 carbon atoms.
Examples of suitable synthetic anionic surface-active materials are sodium and ammonium alkyl sulphates, especially those obtained by sulphating higher (Cg-C)3) } alcohols produced for example from tallow or coconut oil; sodium and ammonium alkyl (Co-Ci0) benzene sulphonates, sodium alkyl glyceryl ether sulphates, especially those . ethers of the higher alcohols derived from tallow or coconut oil and synthetic alcohols derived from petroleum; sodium coconut oil fatty acid monoglyceride sulphates and sulphonates; sodium and ammonium salts of sulphuric acid esters of higher (Co-C;3) fatty alcohol-alkylene oxide, particularly ethylene oxide, reaction products; the reaction products of fatty acids such as coconut fatty acids esterified with isethionic acid and neutralized with sodium hydroxide; sodium and ammonium salts of fatty acid amides of methyl taurine; sarcosinate salts; alkane monosulphonates such as those derived by reacting alpha-olefins (Cg-Cy) with sodium bisulphite and those derived by reacting paraffins with SO; and Cl; and then hydrolyzing with a base to produce a random
A sulphonate; sodium and ammonium C5-C,, dialkyl sulphosuccinates; and olefin sulphonates, which term is used to describe the material made by reacting olefins, particularly C,o-Cz alpha-olefins, with SO; and then neutralizing and hydrolyzing the reaction product; and sulphates or sulphonated alkyl polyglucosides. The preferred anionic surface-active materials are sodium (Cj,-Cs) alkylbenzene sulphonates, sodium (C16-Cis) alkyl sulphates and sodium (C6-C}s) alkyl ether sulphates.
Examples of suitable nonionic surface-active materials which may be used, preferably together with the anionic surface-active materials, include in particular the reaction products of alkylene oxides, usually ethylene oxide, with alkyl (C¢-C,) phenols, generally 5-25 EO, i.e. 5-25 units of ethylene oxide per molecule; the condensation products of aliphatic (Cs-C)3) primary or secondary linear or branched alcohols with ethylene oxide, generally 2-30 EO, and products made by condensation of ethylene oxide with the reaction products of propylene oxide and ethylene diamine.
Other so-called nonionic surface-actives include alkyl polyglucosides, long chain tertiary amine oxides, and fatty amido polyols such as methyl glucamides.
Ampbhoteric or zwitterionic surface-active materials such as alkylamidopropyl betaines can also be used in the compositions of the invention. If any amphoteric or zwitterionic surface-actives are used, it is generally in small amounts in compositions based on the much more commonly used synthetic anionic and nonionic actives. .
Soaps may also be incorporated into the compositions of the invention, ] Co preferably at a level of less than 30% by weight. They are particularly useful at low levels in binary (soap/anionic) or ternary mixtures together with nonionic or mixed synthetic anionic and nonionic compounds. Soaps which are used are preferably the sodium, or less desirably potassium, salts of saturated or unsaturated C,¢-Ca4 fatty acids or mixtures thereof. The amount of such soaps can be varied between 0.5 and 25% by weight, with lower amounts of 0.5 to 5% being generally sufficient for lather control.
Amounts of soap between 2 and 20%, especially between 5 and 15, are used to give a wy beneficial effect on detergency. This is particularly valuable in compositions used in hard water where the soap acts as a supplementary builder.
In systems where anionic surfactants such as linear alkylbenzene sulphonate are employed, it may be desirable to include a hydrotrope such as sodium benzene sulphonate to avoid micellization of the anionic surfactant and thereby improve the bleach effect.
The detergent compositions of the invention may normally also contain a detergency builder. Builder materials may be selected from (1) calcium sequestrant materials, (2) precipitating materials, (3) calcium ion-exchange materials and (4) mixtures thereof.
In particular, the compositions of the invention may contain any one of the : 15 organic or inorganic builder materials, such as sodium or potassium tripolyphosphate, : sodium or potassium pyrophosphate, sodium or potassium orthophosphate, sodium carbonate, the sodium salt of nitrilotriacetic acid, sodium citrate, : carboxymethylmalonate, carboxymethyloxysuccinate, tartrate mono- and di- succinate, : oxydisuccinate, crystalline or amorphous aluminosilicates and mixtures thereof, . Polycarboxylic homo- and co-polymers may also be included as builders and to function as powder structurants or processing aids. Particularly preferred are polyacrylic i acid (available under the trademark Acrysol from the Rohm and Haas Company) and acrylic-maleic acid copolymers (available under the trademark Sokalan from the BASF
Corporation) and alkali metal or other salts thereof.
These builder materials may be present at a level of from 1 to 80% by weight, preferably from 10 to 60% by weight.
Upon dispersal in a wash water, the initial amount of polyoxometalate may range from about 0.001 to about 10 mmol/liter, preferably from about 0.01 to about 5 i mmol/liter, most preferably from about 0.1 to about 1 mmol/liter of the aqueous wash liquid. Surfactant when present in the wash water may range from about 0.05 to about 1.0 grams per liter, preferably from about 0.15 to about 0.20 grams per liter. When present, the builder amount may range from about 0.1 to about 3.0 grams per liter.
Apart from the components already mentioned, the bleaching compositions of the invention may contain any of the conventional additives in he amounts in which such materials are normally employed in cleaning compositions. Examples of these additives include dye transfer inhibition agents such as polyamine N-oxide polymers, metallo phthalocyanines, and polymers based on N-vinylpyrrolidone and N- vinylimidazole, lather boosters such as alkanolamides, particularly the monoethanolamides derived from palmkernel fatty acids and coconut fatty acids, lather- depressants such as alkyl phosphates and silicones, anti-redeposition agents such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose and alkyl or substituted alkylcellulose ethers, stabilizers such as ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and phosphonic acid derivatives (Dequest®), fabric softening agents, inorganic salts such as sodium sulphate, and, usually present in very small amounts, fluorescent agents, perfumes, enzymes such as proteases, cellulases, lipases and amylases, germicides and colorants.

EXAMPLE 1
Several synthesis of polyoxometalates are reported below. These are only for illustrative purposes of the general synthesis. Many polyoxometalates are also commercially available.
General
Phosphotungstic acid and tungstosilicic acid were purchased from Aldrich and
Fluka. They were used without further purification. All other chemicals were obtained from the Fisher Scientific Company. The pH of the reaction was maintained using a
Metrohm Titrator with a desired base. All *'P and °Si NMR were acquired on a Bruker
AC-500 MHz spectrometer.
Preparation of Potassium o-undecatungstosilicate, Kg[o-SiW;; 039]®
Into a 1 L Erlenmeyer flask equipped with a stir bar, tungstosillicic acid (216.3 g, 0.08 mole) was dissolved in 200 mL of water at 40°C. Solid sodium bicarbonate (54 20g, 0.64 mole) was added slowly to raise the pH to 7.9. Sometimes, additional amounts ’ of sodium bicarbonate was necessary to adjust the solution pH to 7.9. The solution was allowed to stir for 5 minutes. Excess KCl (134.4 g, 1.80 mole) was added to induce ’ precipitation of the product as potassium salts. The white solid was collected by vacuum filtration and dried in a vacuum oven. The complex was characterized in DO by *Si NMR with peak at 84.725.
Preparation of Potassium y-decatungstosilicate, Ks[y-SiW,0036)”
Into a 125 mL Erlenmeyer flask equipped with a stir bar, Kg[a-SiW,010] (5.0 g, 1.7 mole) was taken in 100 mL of water. The pH of this solution was adjusted to 9.1 by addition of 2M potassium carbonate using the Metrohm titrator. The solution was stirred for an additional 15 minutes while maintaining the pH at 9.1 with 2M potassium carbonate. Approximately 2 mL of base was used in the reaction. The potassium salt of the desired product was allowed to precipitate out by adding excess of potassium chloride (13.3 g, 0.18 mole). The white solid was collected by vacuum filtration and dried ina vacuum oven. It is characterized in D,O by Si NMR with peak at 84.954.
Preparation of Sodium B-nonatungstosilicate, Na;o[B-SiWo034]’
Into a 250 mL beaker containing a stir bar, sodium metasilicate (3.26 g, 0.01 mole) was dissolved in 50 mL of water and sodium tungstate (30.03 g, 0.09 mole) added. The resulting solution had a pH of 12.6. To this solution, 18 mL of 6M HCI was added slowly using the Metrohm titrator over a period of about 30 minutes. The final solution contained some unreacted sodium silicate. It was filtered to give a clear solution which had a pH of about 8.4. The clear solution was allowed to crystallize in a refrigerator. The white crystals were filtered and dried in a vacuum oven. The complex was characterized in D;0 by **Si NMR with peak at 83.814.
Preparation of Pataccium o-undecatunoetophoephate, Kolo DW; 00017 EE ——
Into a 100 mL beaker containing 12.5 mL of water and a stir bar, phosphotungstic acid (14.42 g, 0.005 mole) was added. To this solution, lithium carbonate (1.29 g, 0.02 mole) was added slowly in small portions. The addition of lithium carbonate was done slowly to avoid excess foaming. Kcl (14.94 g, 0.2 mole) was added to the resulting solution to precipitate out the desired product which was filtered and dried in a vacuum oven. The product was characterized in D;O by *!P
NMR with peak at 11.332.
4 WO 00/39264 PCT/EP99/09330
Preparation of Ks[P2CuW,706H,]
Kio[P2W}704].20H,0 (8.7g, 1.77x 10° mol) was dissolved in water (26 mL)at 70°C. Anhydrous CuSOs (0.35 g, 2.19% 10” mol) was then added to the mixture and stirred until dissolved. The mixture was then allowed to cool gradually to ambient temperature (25°C). A green precipitate subsequently developed which was filtered and dried giving 6.9 g of a green crystalline solid. Recrystallization from water yielded 64 g of a green crystalline solid.
EXAMPLE 2
The polyoxometalates identified above were evaluated for their effectiveness in a Heterogeneous Protocol consisting of two stain monitors, strawberry (CS-1 8) and Tea (BC-1). Evaluations were performed at pH 6, 8 and 10 at 25°C, under a constant flow of oxygen with and without reducing agents (hydroxylamine and sodium ascorbate).
Catalyst concentration was kept at 1 x 10° M.
An Outline of the Essential Protocol Steps ] a) Measure the initial reflectance of the swatches (R;). b) Saturate the wash solution with air. c) Wash, rinse and dry the swatches. d) Measure the final reflectance of the swatches (Ry).
All work was conducted in a Tergotometer with 2L stainless steel pots. The swatches were dried flat on a rack in a Kenmore dryer.
Each Tergotometer Pot was filled with 1 liter of milli-Q-water containing the carbonate buffer solution which was saturated for 15 minutes with air under agitation at 25°C. Tea stained (BC-1) swatches were washed for 30 minutes in the presence of i ¢
Polyoxometalates and air. All swatches were rinsed twice for 3 minutes with agitation at 25°C and dried flat on a rack in a Kenmore with soft heat for 30 minutes.
Bleaching Evaluation
To quantify the degree of stain removal, the reflectance of 4 stained swatches 4 per pot) were measured before and after washing using a Gardner reflectometer (Model #2000) set at 460*nm (*UV filter). The change in reflectance (AR) was determined by taking the difference of the swatch before and after each washing. The standard © 10 deviation (0) and AAR, was assigned to each experimental group.
AR =R¢-R;
Ri = Initial reflectance of stained swatch before washing.
R¢= Final reflectance of stained swatch after washing.
