As originally filed Hydrophobic, functionalized particles Description The present invention relates to a stable mixture comprising surface-modified particles which are obtained by reacting metal oxide or semimetal oxide particles with at least one compound selected from among silicon-comprising compounds bearing one, two or three alkoxy radicals and at least one solvent, at least one surface-active substance or a mixture thereof, the use of these particles in systems in which they are brought into contact with at least one solvent, where the mass ratio of solvent to modified particle is greater than 500, and also the use of these particles in agglomeration-deagglomeration cycles.
Metal oxide and/or semimetal oxide particles which are functionalized on the surface by means of silicon-comprising compounds are known from the prior art.
Metal oxide and/or semimetal oxide particles which are functionalized on the surface by means of silicon-comprising compounds are known from the prior art.
2 Al discloses, for example, hydrophobic modification of mineral fillers and mixed polymer systems. According to this document, hydrophobic modification is effected by reaction of the corresponding mineral particles with silanes, for example 03-012-alkyltrialkoxy silanes. That the correspondingly hydrophobically modified particles according to WO 2009/059382 Al are particularly stable in large amounts of solvents, optionally in the presence of surface-active substances, is not disclosed in this document.

According to the invention, an agglomeration-deagglomeration cycle is a process in which the surface-functionalized particles of the invention, in particular magnetic particles, are brought into contact with themselves or other particles, substances, materials, etc., in solution or dispersion and agglomerate as a result of hydrophobic interaction, ionic forces, van der Waals interactions and/or other attractive forces.

Examples of agglomeration-deagglomeration cycles which are preferred according to the invention are chemical or biological test
27 methods or separation processes, decontamination of (heavy metal-)contaminated earth, water purification, recycling of electrical/electronic scrap or gravity separation.
In chemical or biological test methods or separation processes, use is made of, for example, specifically modified magnetic nanoparticles which have anchor groups for a specific antigen or virus, e.g. borrelia, HIV, hepatitis, on their surface.
These specific anchor groups correspond, in particular, to the abovementioned group R1 which has a structure corresponding to the respective separation or test task, for example as a result of the presence of the abovementioned functional groups. Bonding of these antigens/viruses to the modified particle surface (agglomeration) enables these constituents to be separated off from a solution by means of magnetic separation and thus detected. The functionalized magnetic particles are then recycled by means of surfactants which again release the electrostatic, adhesive or van der Waals interaction between functionalized magnetic particle and antigen/virus (deagglomeration). In this way, the functionalized magnetite particles produced in an elaborate way can be reused.
The modified particles of the invention, in particular magnetic particles, can be used in water purification. Here, for example, it is possible to use functionalized magnetite particles which remove organic constituents, suspended materials or fat droplets from the water by effecting hydrophobic agglomeration between the functionalized magnetite particle and the hydrophobic contaminant. These hydrophobic agglomerates can be separated off by magnetic separation. In order that water purification is economical, it is useful to "unload" the hydrophobic magnetite particles from the contaminant again and return them to the circuit. This "unloading" can once again be affected by deagglomeration using a specific surface-active substance (surfactant) and/or by means of a specific solvent or solvent mixture.
Recycling of electrical/electronic scrap can, for example, be carried out by magnetic recovery of materials of value (1r, Pt, Ru) from electrical/electronic scrap, once again preferably using modified magnetite particles which, after hydrophobicization of the materials of value to be separated, can agglomerate with these and be separated off.
After the agglomerates have been separated off, they are deagglomerated again so that the modified magnetic particles can be reused.
A further example is gravity separation, e.g. by means of cyclones known to those skilled in the art. In this way, relatively dense constituents can be separated off from less dense constituents by means of a gravity separation. If the densities of the individual components differ only slightly, e.g. Pt-doped hematite and undoped hematite, the density of the component to be separated off can be increased by agglomeration with a further component. Here, for example, the Pt-doped hematite component is hydrophobicized according to the invention to give modified particles, so that addition of hydrophobicized barium sulfate gives an agglomerate of the modified hematite and barium sulfate which has a greater density difference from the undoped

An advantage of the invention is that the particles which have been surface-modified according to the invention are stable under the conditions prevailing in agglomeration and especially deagglomeration and can therefore preferably be reused.

An advantage of the invention is that the particles which have been surface-modified according to the invention are stable under the conditions prevailing in agglomeration and especially deagglomeration and can therefore preferably be reused.
Examples Example 1: General methods Example 1.1: Repeated treatment of the solid with surfactant solution 10 g of solid are stirred in 1 I of a 0.2% strength by weight solution of Lutensit A-ES
from BASF SE (mixture of sodium alkylphenol ether sulfates) in water for 2 hours at room temperature. The solid is subsequently filtered off and washed with 1 I
of water, 100 ml of ethanol and 100 ml of acetone. The filter cake is dried at 120 C
under reduced pressure for 4 hours. Samples are subsequently taken for analysis. The remaining product is used for the renewed washing tests.
Example 1.2: Rapid test for ability to float on water 3 ml of water are placed in a 5 ml test tube. The solid to be examined is subsequently carefully placed on the surface of the water by means of a spatula. The solid in the test tube is subsequently observed to see whether the solid sinks or remains afloat. In the case of floating solids, the closed vessel is shaken for 10 s. The solid in the test tube is subsequently observed to see whether the solid floats again or remains under water.
Example 1.3: Contact angle measurement Contact angle measurement on powders:
Contact angles are measured using a standard instrument (Dropshape Analysis Instrument, Kruss DAS 10). A silhouette of the drop is recorded by means of a CCD
camera and the drop shape is determined by computer-aided image analysis. The measurements are, unless indicated otherwise, carried out as described in DIN
5560-2.
29 a) Production of a homogeneous powder layer The magnetite powder is applied as an appropriately 1 mm thick layer onto a 100 pm thick BASF Acronal V215 adhesive dispersion on a PET film. Using a spatula, the powder is pressed into the adhesive and excess material which does not adhere is removed by shaking. Finally, remaining loose material is removed by blowing purified nitrogen under pressure over the specimen. This method gives a clean, homogeneous powder surface over the total area of the substrate of 75 mm x 25 mm.
Powder surfaces normally display a certain roughness and contact angle or the measurement thereof are sensitive to this roughness. A direct comparison of the hydrophobicity can therefore be carried out only on powders having the same particle size distribution and particle shape. Careful surfaces analyses using ToF-SIMS
have shown that the surface of the powder layer produced by this method has no traces of adhesive and is representative of the powder.
b) Dynamic, progressive contact angle measurement One milliliter of water is placed as a drop on the surface and 2 pi/min of water are continuously added. 20 pl of liquid volume are added continuously in this way.
Starting from a minimal volume of about 3 pl, contact angles are measured while the needle of the syringe used for introduction remains in the drop. Contour measurements are carried out at a rate of about 0.5 Hz and are evaluated by means of a tangent method in order to determine the contact angle directly at the three-phase contact line. These contact angles are averaged over time, and five progressive drops are measured at various positions for each sample and the average value together with a standard deviation is determined.
Example 1.4: Recycling experiments An experiment is carried out on the use of magnetite hydrophobicized according to the respective example as reusable carrier for the decontamination of (heavy metal-) contaminated earth. For this purpose, 3 g of magnetite were dispersed in a system comprising 100 g of a sand mixture (solids content: 1% by weight). This sand mixture comprises 99% by weight of inorganic siliceous constituents (e.g. feltspars, mica, iron pyrites) and 1% by weight of a specific hydrophobicized inorganic As-comprising contaminant (Enargite). Hydrophobicization of this inorganic contaminant is carried out using butylxanthate. After vigorous mixing of the hydrophobicized magnetite with this sand mixture, the arsenic component is separated off by means of hydrophobic

After vigorous mixing of the hydrophobicized magnetite with this sand mixture, the arsenic component is separated off by means of hydrophobic
30 flocculation with the magnetite. The hydrophobic constituents are collected and treated with a 0.1% strength by weight solution of a surfactant (Lutensit A-ES from BASF SE).
In a subsequent magnetic separation step, the magnetic constituents are separated from the nonmagnetic As-comprising impurities. The hydrophobic magnetite is washed with a 1:1 mixture of water and Et0H, filtered off and remixed with a freshly produced sand mixture. The process is repeated a total of ten times.

After 4 hours under reflux, the solid is filtered off and washed with 5 ml of acetone and 1 I of distilled water. The product is dried overnight at 120 C under reduced pressure. The dried product is, after preliminary comminution, brushed through an analytical sieve (400 pm) and thus deagglomerated and homogenized.
