Abstract

Cotton-containing fabrics are bleached with hypochlorite in an aqueous alkaline liquor at elevated temperatures by a process in which bleaching is carried out at from 80 DEG to 110 DEG C. in the course of from 30 seconds to 25 minutes in the presence of a water-soluble polyhydroxy compound, as a readily oxidizable substance, in an amount of from 0.5 to 20 g/l.

Description

Baumwollgewebe und baumwollhaltige Mischgewebe werden in der Textilindustrie überwiegend mit Wasserstoffperoxid oder aber auch mit Hypochlorit gebleicht. Unter Umständen werden auch beide Bleichverfahren nacheinander angewandt.Cotton fabrics and blends containing cotton are bleached in the textile industry mainly with hydrogen peroxide or with hypochlorite. Under certain circumstances, both bleaching processes are used in succession.

Die Hypochloritbleiche wird in der Regel bei Raumtemperaturen von 20 bis 25 °C und einem pH-Wert von 9,5 bis 12 durchgeführt. Die Dauer der Behandlung schwankt dabei etwa zwischen 20 Minuten und mehreren Stunden, je nach der Menge des eingesetzten Aktivchlors.Hypochlorite bleaching is usually carried out at room temperatures of 20 to 25 ° C and a pH of 9.5 to 12. The duration of the treatment varies between 20 minutes and several hours, depending on the amount of active chlorine used.

Es ist dem Fachmann bekannt, daß Hypochlorit je nach den Bedingungen mehr oder weniger schädigend auf Baumwollfasern wirkt. So geht beispielsweise aus dem Handbuch der Textilhilfsmittel von Chwala/Angerer, Verlag Chemie, Weinheim-New York, 1977, Seiten 343/344 klar hervor, daß bei der technischen Textilbleiche mit Natriumhypochlorit bei Temperaturen von höchstens 35 °C und innerhalb eines pH-Bereichs von 9,5 bis 12 gearbeitet werden muß, um die Faserschädigungen möglichst gering zu halten. Erhöhung der Temperatur um 10 °C bewirkt zwar Verdoppelung der Bleichgeschwindigkeit, aber auch stärkere Faserschädigung.It is known to the person skilled in the art that hypochlorite has a more or less damaging effect on cotton fibers, depending on the conditions. For example, the manual of textile auxiliaries from Chwala / Angerer, Verlag Chemie, Weinheim-New York, 1977, pages 343/344 clearly shows that technical textile bleaching with sodium hypochlorite is carried out at temperatures of 35 ° C or less and within a pH range from 9.5 to 12 must be worked to keep the fiber damage as low as possible. Increasing the temperature by 10 ° C doubles the bleaching speed, but also causes greater fiber damage.

Weiterhin wird ausgeführt, daß für Weißware aus Baumwolle die Hypochloritbleiche mit einer anschließenden Wasserstoffperoxidbleiche kombiniert werden kann, um einen besonderen Weißgrad und hohe Saugfähigkeit zu erhalten. Die alkalische Peroxidlösung entfernt dabei zunächst auf reduktivem Wege die restliche unterchlorige Säure, die aus Begleitsubstanzen der Baumwolle gebildeten Chloramine, um dann ihre eigentliche Bleichwirkung zu entfalten. Dabei sind Faserschutzmittel unbedingt erforderlich.Furthermore, it is stated that for white goods made of cotton, the hypochlorite bleach can be combined with a subsequent hydrogen peroxide bleach in order to obtain a special degree of whiteness and high absorbency. The alkaline peroxide solution first removes the remaining hypochlorous acid, the chloramines formed from accompanying substances in the cotton, in order to then develop their actual bleaching effect. Fiber protection agents are essential.

Eine strenge Überwachung der Bleichbedingungen für eine einwandfreie Chlorbleiche, d. h. pH von 9 bis 11,5, Temperatur der Bleichbäder nicht höher als 20 °C, laufende Kontrolle des Alkaligehalts und des Bleichmittelverbrauchs wird ebenso im Lehrbuch der Textilchemie einschließlich der textilchemischen Technologie, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Göttingen, Heidelberg, 1963, S. 65-77, empfohlen.Strict monitoring of the bleaching conditions for proper chlorine bleaching, i. H. pH from 9 to 11.5, temperature of the bleaching baths not higher than 20 ° C, ongoing control of the alkali content and bleach consumption is also in the textbook of textile chemistry including textile chemical technology, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Göttingen, Heidelberg, 1963, p. 65-77, recommended.

Eigene Versuche haben ergeben, daß man entschlichtetes Baumwollgewebe im sodaalkalischen Bereich bei einem pH-Wert von 10 bis 13 in einer Kurzzeitreaktion von etwa 30 Sekunden bis 20 Minuten bei Temperaturen von 90 bis 105 °C zwar gut bleichen kann, aber damit in Übereinstimmung mit dem Stand der Technik eine deutliche Schädigung der Fasern verbunden ist, wie ein stark erniedrigter DP-Wert (durchschnittlicher Polymerisationsgrad der Cellulosemoleküle der Baumwolle) zeigt.Our own experiments have shown that desized cotton fabrics can be bleached well in the soda-alkaline range at a pH of 10 to 13 in a short-term reaction of about 30 seconds to 20 minutes at temperatures of 90 to 105 ° C, but in accordance with that State of the art is associated with a significant damage to the fibers, as is shown by a greatly reduced DP value (average degree of polymerization of the cellulose molecules of the cotton).

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Bleichverfahren mit Hypochlorit aufzuzeigen, das bei höheren Temperaturen durchgeführt werden kann.The object of the invention is to demonstrate a bleaching process with hypochlorite which can be carried out at higher temperatures.

Es wurde nun ein Verfahren zum Bleichen von Baumwolle und baumwollhaltigen Geweben oder Garnen mit Hypochlorit in alkalisch wäßrigen Flotten bei höheren Temperaturen gefunden, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß die Bleiche bei Temperaturen von 80 bis 110 °C innerhalb von 30 Sekunden bis 25 Minuten in Gegenwart von 0,5 bis 20 g/I einer wasserlöslichen Polyhydroxyverbindung, die bei Raumtemperaturen gegenüber Hypochlorit stabil und in der Hitze leicht oxidierbar ist, durchgeführt wird.A process has now been found for bleaching cotton and cotton-containing fabrics or yarns with hypochlorite in alkaline aqueous liquors at higher temperatures, which is characterized in that the bleaching is carried out at temperatures from 80 to 110 ° C. within 30 seconds to 25 minutes in the presence from 0.5 to 20 g / l of a water-soluble polyhydroxy compound which is stable to hypochlorite at room temperature and easily oxidized in the heat.

Die Erfindung liegt in der Kombination von Hypochlorit oder Hypochlorit abgebenden Verbindungen mit einer leicht oxidierbaren Substanz und der nicht vorhersehbare Effekt liegt insbesondere darin, daß bei höheren Alkalikonzentrationen, beispielsweise von 8 bis 60 g/I Natriumhydroxid, als bisher üblich gearbeitet werden kann, ohne daß die Fasern geschädigt werden und ohne daß der Bleicheffekt verlorengeht.The invention lies in the combination of hypochlorite or hypochlorite-releasing compounds with an easily oxidizable substance and the unforeseeable effect lies in particular in the fact that higher alkali concentrations, for example from 8 to 60 g / l of sodium hydroxide, can be carried out as previously, without the fibers are damaged and the bleaching effect is not lost.

Unter baumwollhaltigem Gewebe soll reine Baumwolle und insbesondere Polyestermischgewebe mit einem Baumwollanteil von mindestens 20 % verstanden werden. Selbstverständlich sind auch die entsprechenden Garne mit eingeschlossen.Cotton-containing fabric should be understood to mean pure cotton and in particular polyester blended fabrics with a cotton content of at least 20%. Of course, the corresponding yarns are also included.

Als Hypochlorit werden Alkalihypochlorit, insbesondere Natriumhypochlorit, und auch Hypochlorit abspaltende Verbindungen, wie Dichlor- und Trichlorisocyanurat, verwendet. Dabei enthalten die Bleichflotten 1 bis 8, bevorzugt 2 bis 6 g Aktivchlor/1 bzw. die Menge, die diese Menge Aktivchlor freisetzen kann.Alkali hypochlorite, in particular sodium hypochlorite, and also compounds which split off hypochlorite, such as dichloro- and trichloroisocyanurate, are used as hypochlorite. The bleaching liquors contain 1 to 8, preferably 2 to 6 g of active chlorine / 1 or the amount that this amount of active chlorine can release.

Die alkalisch-wäßrigen Flotten nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Bleichverfahren weisen zweckmäßigerweise einen pH-Wert von wenigstens 10 auf.The alkaline aqueous liquors according to the bleaching process according to the invention expediently have a pH of at least 10.

Dieser pH-Bereich wird zweckmäßigerweise eingestellt durch den Zusatz von Alkalihydroxid, insbesondere Natriumhydroxid, in der Regel in einer Menge von 8 bis 60 g/i, bevorzugt 10 bis 25 g/I. Daneben enthalten die Flotten gegebenenfalls 5 bis 15 g/I Alkalicarbonat, bevorzugt Natriumcarbonat.This pH range is expediently set by adding alkali metal hydroxide, in particular sodium hydroxide, generally in an amount of 8 to 60 g / l, preferably 10 to 25 g / l. In addition, the liquors optionally contain 5 to 15 g / l of alkali carbonate, preferably sodium carbonate.

Die gesamte Flotte beträgt in der Regel vorteilhaft etwa 100 Gew. %, bezogen auf das Gewicht des Gewebes.The entire fleet is generally advantageously about 100% by weight, based on the weight of the fabric.

Ein besonderes Kennzeichen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens besteht darin, daß es bei Temperaturen von 80 bis 110 °C durchgeführt wird. Der bevorzugte Temperaturbereich liegt bei Temperaturen von 90 bis 103°C.A special feature of the method according to the invention is that it is carried out at temperatures from 80 to 110 ° C. The preferred temperature range is from 90 to 103 ° C.

Ein anderes besonderes Kennzeichen ist die Durchführung des Bleichverfahrens in Gegenwart einer wasserlöslichen Polyhydroxyverbindung, die in der Kälte und bei Raumtemperaturen gegenüber Hypochlorit stabil und in der Hitze leicht oxidierbar ist, d. h. mit dem Hypochlorit schneller als dieses mit den Celluloseeinheiten der Baumwolle reagiert.Another special feature is the implementation of the bleaching process in the presence of a water-soluble polyhydroxy compound, which is stable to hypochlorite in the cold and at room temperature and easily oxidized in the heat, i. H. with the hypochlorite reacts faster than this with the cellulose units of the cotton.

Hierfür sind in hervorragender Weise Polyhydroxyverbindungen mit einer a-Hydroxycarbonylgruppe aus der Reihe der Mono- Di-, und Oligosaccharide und der Reihe der a-Hydroxycarbonsäuren und ihrer Derivate geeignet.For this purpose, polyhydroxy compounds with an a-hydroxycarbonyl group are excellent from the series of mono-, and oligosaccharides and the series of a-hydroxycarboxylic acids and their derivatives.

Im einzelnen seien genannt Saccharose, Lactose, Maltose, Glukose, Pentose, Galactose, Mannose, Arabinose, Sorbose, Erythrose sowie Hydroxyaceton und Glukose-6-phosphat und weiterhin Glukonsäure, Glukonolacton, Glukoheptonsäure und Ascorbinsäure.Sucrose, lactose, maltose, glucose, pentose, galactose, mannose, arabinose, sorbose, erythrose and hydroxyacetone and glucose-6-phosphate and also gluconic acid, gluconolactone, glucoheptonic acid and ascorbic acid may be mentioned in detail.

Weiterhin können Polyole, wie Mannit, Sorbit, Glucit, Glycerin und Polyglycerin sowie Mucochlorsäure verwendet werden.Polyols, such as mannitol, sorbitol, glucitol, glycerol and polyglycerol, and mucochloric acid can also be used.

Als erfindungsgemäß zu verwendende Polyhydroxyverbindungen sind besonders bevorzugt Glucose, Rohrzucker und Hydroxyaceton.Particularly preferred polyhydroxy compounds to be used according to the invention are glucose, cane sugar and hydroxyacetone.

Die Polyhydroxyverbindungen werden den Bleichflotten in einer Menge von 0,5 bis 20 g/l, bevorzugt 1,5 bis 10 g/1 zugesetzt.The polyhydroxy compounds are added to the bleaching liquors in an amount of 0.5 to 20 g / l, preferably 1.5 to 10 g / l.

Der Begriff leicht oxidierbar soll die Abstufungen umfassen in der Kälte gegenüber Hypochlorit relativ stabil und ansteigendes Redoxpotential mit steigender Alkalikonzentration und steigender Temperatur. Nur durch dieses Zusammenspiel kann in dem erfindungsgemäßen Temperaturbereich, der bisher für ein technisches Textilbleichverfahren nicht zugänglich war, gearbeitet werden.The term easily oxidizable is intended to encompass the gradations relatively stable in the cold to hypochlorite and increasing redox potential with increasing alkali concentration and increasing temperature. It is only through this interaction that work can be carried out in the temperature range according to the invention, which was previously not accessible for an industrial textile bleaching process.

Ein besonders hervorzuhebender Vorteil ist, daß bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Bleichverfahren das Aktivchlor eine sehr kurze Halbwertszeit aufweist. in der Regel ist innerhalb des erfindungsgemäßen Temperaturbereichs nach einer Minute alles Aktivchlor verbraucht und auch auf dem Gewebe nicht mehr nachweisbar.A particularly noteworthy advantage is that in the bleaching process according to the invention the active chlorine has a very short half-life. As a rule, all active chlorine is used up within the temperature range according to the invention after one minute and is no longer detectable even on the tissue.

Demnach wird das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren in vorteilhafter Weise innerhalb von 30 Sekunden bis 25 Minuten, bevorzugt 1 bis 5 Minuten durchgeführt.Accordingly, the method according to the invention is advantageously carried out within 30 seconds to 25 minutes, preferably 1 to 5 minutes.

Gegenüber einer Peroxidbleiche hat die kurze Halbwertszeit den Vorteil, daß beispielsweise bei Maschinenstillständen keine Schädigung des Gewebes durch eine längere Oxidationszeit auftreten kann, gegenüber Peroxiden entfällt der Aufwand von Stabilisierungsmaßnahmen, wie sie bei Peroxiden üblich sind, und hervorzuheben ist eine wesentlich geringere Empfindlichkeit gegenüber von Verunreinigungen mit Schwermetall.Compared to peroxide bleaching, the short half-life has the advantage that, for example when the machine is at a standstill, there can be no damage to the tissue due to a longer oxidation time.For peroxides, there is no need for stabilization measures, as are common with peroxides, and a much lower sensitivity to contamination should be emphasized with heavy metal.

Im übrigen sind die für das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren einzuhaltenden Bedingungen dem Fachmann bekannt :Otherwise, the conditions to be observed for the process according to the invention are known to the person skilled in the art:

Als Vorrichtung für die Ausführung sind die üblichen Dämpfaggregate zweckmäßig.The usual steaming units are useful as a device for the execution.

Für die Bleichflotten kommen die üblichen Zusätze in Betracht, wie Zusatz von Tensiden als Netz-und Waschmittel, zweckmäßig in einer Menge von 3,0 bis 10 g/1 und von denen Alkylphenolethoxylate mit 5 bis 10 Ethylenoxideinheiten und Fettalkoholethoxylate mit etwa gleichem Ethoxylierungsgrad besonders gennant seien.The usual additives for bleaching liquors, such as the addition of surfactants as wetting agents and detergents, are expediently used in an amount of 3.0 to 10 g / l and of which alkylphenol ethoxylates with 5 to 10 ethylene oxide units and fatty alcohol ethoxylates with approximately the same degree of ethoxylation are particularly named be.

Andere Zusätze betreffen beispielsweise wegen der Wasserhärte oxydations-stabile Sequestriermittel, die zusätzliche eine Erhöhung des Weißgrades bewirken können. Dafür ist die Hydroxyethandiphosphonsäure besonders geeignet.Other additives relate, for example, to the water hardness of oxidation-stable sequestering agents, which can additionally increase the whiteness. Hydroxyethane diphosphonic acid is particularly suitable for this.

Aus den vorliegenden zahlenmäßigen Angaben geht hervor, daß eine erfindungsgemäße Heißbleiche mit Hypochlorit bezüglich der Weißgraderhöhung ausgezeichnete Ergebnisse liefert. Dabei liegt die Faserschädigung, ausgedrückt durch die Abnahme des DP-Wertes, im Rahmen dessen, wie es von Peroxidbleichen bekannt ist. Die DP-Werte in den Vergleichsversuchen ohne Zusatz von einer Polyhydroxyverbindung bestätigen eine deutliche Faserschädigung, die in der Praxis nicht hingenommen werden kann.From the available numerical data it is evident that hot bleaching according to the invention with hypochlorite gives excellent results with regard to the whiteness increase. The fiber damage, expressed by the decrease in the DP value, is within the range known from peroxide bleaching. The DP values in the comparative tests without the addition of a polyhydroxy compound confirm a significant fiber damage which cannot be tolerated in practice.
