Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for producing surfactant agglomerates with improved color by admixing a solid bleaching agent.
  • the present invention involves a novel process for producing surfactant agglomerates with improved color for use in detergent compositions by admixing a solid bleaching agent.
  • the surfactant agglomerate produced by the process of the present invention comprises methyl ester sulfonates (MES) as one of the components.
  • MES methyl ester sulfonates
  • alkali metal salts of ⁇ -sulfofatty acid alkyl esters (“ester sulfonates") by sulfonation of fatty acid methyl esters with gaseous SO3 and subsequent neutralization of the sulfonic acids formed with aqueous alkali metal hydroxides, for example with sodium hydroxide, has been known for some time.
  • the end products of this process i.e. the alkali metal salts of the corresponding ⁇ -sulfofatty acid alkyl esters, are predominantly used as detergents in washing and cleaning preparations.
  • Methyl ester sulfonates in particular have been used in many detergent compositions as "natural" surfactants - i.e. surfactants derived from such sources as tallow, coconut and palm. These products, in particular, have been made only while encountering numerous problems, including the major problem that when combining MES with inorganic powders to make MES agglomerates, such MES agglomerates are generally dark to black in color, and therefore contain qualities unsuitable to the consumer for a detergent product.
  • Japanese published patent application no. 84-16870 describes a process for the production of alpha-sulfofatty acid ester salts, in which alpha-sulfofatty acid esters formed during the sulfonation step are bleached with H2O2 in the presence of a polycarboxylic acid or one of its salts and subsequently converted by neutralization into the corresponding alpha-sulfofatty acid esters salt.
  • the salts formed are very suitable for use as detergents in washing and cleaning preparations, the reaction time required for the bleaching step is of the order of 1 hour which does not include the time required for the following neutralization reaction.
  • US-A-4 547 318 describes a process for the production of color-stable, light-colored aqueous salt pastes of washing-active alpha-sulfofatty acid esters in which the dark-colored alpha-sulfofatty acid esters emanating from the sulfonation step are first prebleached with alkali metal hypochlorites in neutral to mildly alkaline aqueous solution and are then fully bleached with hydrogen peroxide in the usual way in a mildly acidic aqueous solution.
  • the bleaching process as a whole takes several hours, involves a change in the pH value of the reaction medium with all the ensuing disadvantages, and gives aqueous salt pastes of which the active substance content is in the range of from 20 to 60% by weight which, as described above, gives rise to problems affecting the process due to the considerable increase in viscosity with increasing active substance content.
  • US-A-3 142 691 describes the production of light-colored sulfonated fatty acids and fatty acid derivatives, more particularly through a process for bleaching dark-colored sulfonated fatty acids and sulfonated fatty acid derivatives by treatment with oxyacids having a strong oxidizing effect, or salts or anhydrides of these oxyacids.
  • US-A4 874 552 describes the production of solid, substantially anhydrous alkali metal salts of alpha-sulfofatty acid alkyl esters by simultaneously mixing the esters with an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide or an H2O2-yielding compound with a solid alkali metal carbonate at particular temperature ranges , optionally in the presence of aqueous alkali metal hydroxide.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a process for improving the color of surfactant agglomerates, particularly MES comprising agglomerates. It further seeks to provide a process which avoids the prior art two-step process of bleaching and agglomeration separately, with no visible detriment to agglomerate color with time.
  • the present invention further describes a process which avoids the addition of water or aqueous bleaching agents or solutions comprising other bleaching agents, thus reducing the problems associated with high viscous pastes and/or foaming acid product which is often associated with the high quantity of water in the processes of the prior art.
  • the present invention seeks to provide the advantage of a process for producing highly active particle agglomerates with decreased water content, which thereby reduces the need for drying of the agglomerates.
  • the present invention relates to a process for producing improved color surfactant agglomerates comprising ester sulfonates, especially methyl ester sulfonates (MES).
  • MES methyl ester sulfonates
  • many surfactant agglomerates, such as those comprising MES retain undesirable color properties, rendering the surfactants unsuitable for use in the most widely used detergent products. For this reason, most detergents comprising MES have bleached MES granules after esterification with an aqueous bleaching agents prior to its neutralization.
  • solid ⁇ -sulfofatty acid alkyl ester salts substantially free from water, and particularly MES comprising agglomerates, having outstanding color values and high color stability can be obtained by carrying out bleaching with solid bleaching agents, and preferably, neutralization (especially dry neutralization) of the dark-colored ⁇ -sulfofatty acid alkyl esters such as MES, resulting from the sulfonation step.
  • the present invention in the process of the present invention, by avoiding early bleaching or neutralization of the product before agglomeration of the granules, the high viscous paste product is avoided, and thus the present invention also provides the unexpected benefit of ease in formation of the color-acceptable product.
  • the present invention also reduces the problem of an overly hydrated paste which increases the tendency to disalt formation.
  • the present invention unexpectedly reduces the problem of an overly hydrated paste.
  • a preferred embodiment allows that any alkali metal carbonates can be used either individually or in admixture as the alkali metal carbonate both in the presence and in the absence of the aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution.
  • sodium carbonate is preferably used for the process of the invention by virtue of its inexpensive availability.
  • Alkali metal salts of ⁇ -sulfofatty acid esters prepared from crude ⁇ -sulfofatty acid esters by neutralization and, optionally, bleaching always contain a certain proportion of dialkali metal salts of the free ⁇ -sulfofatty acids.
  • These disalts emanate partly from the alkaline hydrolysis of the mixed anhydrides of ⁇ -sulfofatty acid esters and methyl sulfuric acid proportionately present in the crude sulfonation product.
  • Another proportion of disalt emanates from the unwanted alkaline hydrolysis of the ⁇ -sulfofatty acid methyl ester at elevated temperature and at pH values of 9 and higher. Therefore, extreme care must be exercised during the execution of these steps to avoid disalt formation.
  • the present invention relates to a process for manufacturing improved color surfactant agglomerates, particularly comprising methyl ester sulfonates, for use in detergent compositions, said process comprising sulfonation of methyl ester, digestion of the sulfonation product, esterification of said sulfonated product to produce an acid product and agglomeration of said acid product, characterized in that said acid product is exposed to a solid bleaching agent immediately prior to or during agglomeration of said acid product.
  • the agglomerates thus formed and ultimately used in detergent compositions are generally of adequate particle size for detergent, and especially powder detergent compositions (preferably from about 100 ⁇ m to 1400 ⁇ m in diameter), and exhibit good free flowing characteristics.
  • said acid product is neutralized simultaneous with or subsequent to its exposure to the solid bleaching agent; it is even more preferred that said in said process said acid product is neutralized subsequent to its exposure to the solid bleaching agent. It is further preferred that subsequent, concurrent with, or preferably before the formation of the MES comprising agglomerates, the acid product is neutralized by dry neutralization.
  • An example of digestion is an ⁇ -sulphofatty acid sulphoester process by which the mixture of products leaving the falling film sulphonator adjust to the maximization of the ⁇ -sulphofatty acid ester. This can be done in a holding tank at a given temperature with a residence time large enough so that the kinetically preferred ⁇ -sulphofatty acid sulphoester slowly rearranges to the thermodynamically preferred ⁇ -sulphofatty acid ester.
  • esterification Another step known to the man skilled in the art is esterification, an example being a process by which the acid mixture after digestion is contacted with methanol for a given residence time at a certain temperature in order to maximize the formation of the ⁇ -sulphofatty acid ester and reduce the level of disalt formation.
  • Other steps such as addition of perfumes, coating agents, solubilizing agents, etc., can also be found in common agglomeration processes.
  • good free flowing characteristics include such qualities as low caking tendency, low stickiness, low angle of repose, and the like. Percentages herein are generally by weight, unless otherwise indicated.
  • Solid bleaching agents include sodium perborates in any hydration form (monohydrate, tetrahydrate, etc.), sodium percarbonate, etc.
  • Non limiting-examples of such solid bleaching agents include sodium perborates (monohydrate, tetrahydrate, etc.), sodium percarbonate, urea peroxide, phosphate peroxyhydrates (such as sodium pyrophosphate peroxyhydrate), calcium hypochlorite, lithium hypochlorite, chlorinated trisodium phosphate, sodium chlorite, potassium permonosulphate, sodium or potassium bisulphites, sodium or zinc dithionites, and sodium borohydride.
  • Preferred solid bleaching agents for use in the present invention include solid bleaching agents selected from the group consisting of perborates, percarbonates, and organic peroxygens (peracid); more preferred being sodium or potassium percarbonate. It is also preferred that the solid bleaching agent of the present invention be in a finely divided, powder-type form. It is more preferred that the solid bleaching agent have an average particle size of less than 800 ⁇ m, even more preferred less than 200 ⁇ m.
  • the solid bleaching agents of the present invention may be used at various levels and in quantities presently used to bleach detergent granules and in conventional ratios to the acid product before bleaching.
  • the solid bleaching agent is used at a level related to the acid product wherein the ratio of said solid bleaching agent is between 1% to 200% of said acid product, preferably between 10% to 100% of said acid product. It has also been found that the acid product, at the time of exposure to the solid bleaching agent, is preferably at a temperature of between 60°C - 90°C.
  • the process of the present invention comprises the steps of :
  • Steps 1 and 2 could alternative be done simultaneously, thus allowing contact between the acid MES with the bed of premixed powders in the mixer/agglomerator. In this manner, adequate product is formed, but there may be a slight decrease in color improvement over the above described method.
  • the agglomerates made by the process of the present invention may initially appear of less than desired or adequate color, but upon storage the color continuously improves.

  • the product formed is a particle (agglomerate) of adequate characteristics to be dry added to granular detergents and the solids formed are blended by known methods.
  • Suitable apparatus includes, for example, falling film sulphonating reactors, digestion tanks, esterification reactors, etc.

  • the ⁇ -sulfofatty acid alkyl esters used as starting materials for the process emanate from the processes typically used in the prior art for the sulfonation of fatty acid alkyl esters.

  • the ester group of the fatty acid alkyl esters normally contains from 1 to 6 and preferably from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, the corresponding methyl esters being particularly preferred.
  • esters are generally formed by saponification of synthetic, semi-synthetic or natural oils and/or fats and mixtures thereof and reaction of the fatty acids formed with monohydric alcohols containing from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or by direct transesterification with the corresponding alcohols, particularly methanol.
  • the corresponding fatty acid esters are then sulfonated in known manner at elevated temperature with a mixture of gaseous sulfur trioxide and inert gas in a sulfonation reactor, resulting in the formation of products having a degree of sulfonation of more than 90%, which are more or less dark in color due to the color instability of the fatty acid alkyl esters.
  • neutral to mildly alkaline ⁇ -sulfofatty acid alkyl ester salts (“ester sulfonates”) having a water content of less than 10% and Klett color values below 100 can be prepared by simultaneous oxidative bleaching and neutralization.
