The additive for a foam-containing composition of the present invention contains, as a main component, water-insoluble and / or water-swellable carboxymethyl cellulose having a degree of carboxymethyl substitution per anhydroglucose unit of 0.05 to 0.4 or a salt thereof. To do.
[Carboxymethylcellulose or a salt thereof]
Carboxymethyl cellulose or a salt thereof has a structure in which a hydroxyl group in a glucose residue constituting cellulose is substituted with a carboxymethyl ether group. The carboxyl cellulose may be in the form of a salt, for example, a metal salt such as carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt. In the present invention, cellulose means a polysaccharide having a structure in which D-glucopyranose is linked by β-1,4 glycosidic bonds, and has anhydrous glucose as a basic unit. Generally, it is classified into natural cellulose, regenerated cellulose, fine cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose excluding the non-crystalline region, etc. from the origin, production method and the like. Examples of natural cellulose include cellulose produced by microorganisms such as bleached or unbleached wood pulp, refined linters, and acetic acid bacteria. The raw material of bleached or unbleached pulp is not specifically limited, For example, wood, cotton, straw, bamboo, etc. are mentioned. The method for producing bleached or unbleached pulp is not particularly limited, and may be a mechanical method, a chemical method, or a method combining two in the middle, such as mechanical pulp, chemical pulp, groundwood pulp, sulfite pulp. And kraft pulp. Furthermore, in addition to pulp for papermaking, dissolved pulp that is chemically purified and mainly used as a main raw material such as artificial fibers and cellophane, which is mainly dissolved in chemicals, may be used. Examples of the regenerated cellulose include those obtained by dissolving cellulose in some solvent such as a copper ammonia solution, a cellulose xanthate solution, and a morpholine derivative and spinning again. Fine cellulose refers to cellulose-based materials such as the above natural cellulose and regenerated cellulose that have been depolymerized by acid hydrolysis, alkali hydrolysis, enzymatic decomposition, explosion treatment, vibration ball mill treatment, etc. What was processed mechanically is illustrated.

本発明においてカルボキシメチル置換度(エーテル化度ともいう)とは、セルロースを構成する無水グルコース単位1モル当りの水酸基(−OH)のうちカルボキシメチルエーテル基(−OCH2COOH)に置換されているもののモル数を示している。なお、カルボキシメチル置換度はDSと略すことがある。本発明のカルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩は、カルボキシメチル置換度が0.05〜0.4であることが必要である。カルボキシメチル置換度が0.05未満では、カルボキシメチルエーテル基に由来する吸水、膨潤部分が十分形成されず、本発明の特徴とする泡質改善効果、気泡安定性能を発揮することができない。一方、0.4を超えると水溶性部分が増加して水への溶解が起こり易くなり、本発明の特徴を十分に発揮できない。 In the present invention, the degree of carboxymethyl substitution (also called degree of etherification) is substituted with a carboxymethyl ether group (—OCH 2 COOH) out of hydroxyl groups (—OH) per mole of anhydroglucose units constituting cellulose. The number of moles of the thing is shown. The degree of carboxymethyl substitution may be abbreviated as DS. The carboxymethyl cellulose of the present invention or a salt thereof needs to have a carboxymethyl substitution degree of 0.05 to 0.4. When the degree of carboxymethyl substitution is less than 0.05, the water absorption and swelling part derived from the carboxymethyl ether group are not sufficiently formed, and the effect of improving the foam quality and the ability to stabilize the bubbles, which are the characteristics of the present invention, cannot be exhibited. On the other hand, when it exceeds 0.4, the water-soluble part increases and the dissolution in water tends to occur, and the characteristics of the present invention cannot be fully exhibited.

当該カルボキシメチル置換度は、試料中のカルボキシメチルセルロースを中和するのに必要な水酸化ナトリウム等の塩基の量を測定して確認することができる。この場合、カルボキシメチルエーテル塩の場合には、測定前に予めカルボキシメチルセルロースに変換しておく。測定の際には、塩基、酸を用いた逆滴定、フェノールフタレイン等の指示薬を適宜組み合わせることができる。   The degree of carboxymethyl substitution can be confirmed by measuring the amount of base such as sodium hydroxide required to neutralize carboxymethylcellulose in the sample. In this case, in the case of a carboxymethyl ether salt, it is converted into carboxymethyl cellulose in advance before measurement. In the measurement, an indicator such as back titration using a base and an acid, phenolphthalein and the like can be appropriately combined.

本発明のカルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩は、非結晶である方が好ましい。カルボキシメチル置換度が上記範囲を満たしていても、非結晶でなければ、化学的反応性、吸水性に乏しい結晶領域が残っていることに起因して、泡質改善効果、気泡安定性能が落ちる可能性がある。   The carboxymethyl cellulose or salt thereof of the present invention is preferably amorphous. Even if the degree of carboxymethyl substitution satisfies the above range, if it is not amorphous, the crystalline region with poor chemical reactivity and water absorption remains, resulting in poor foam quality improvement effect and bubble stability performance. there is a possibility.

カルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩が非結晶であることは、X線回折による測定により確認することができる。具体的には、X線回折の測定の結果、非結晶領域に由来する2θ=18.5°の回折ピーク以外には結晶領域に由来する回折ピークを生じないことが確認されれば、非結晶であるということができる。例えば、セルロースI型結晶では、X線回折による測定で2θ=22.6°に002面の回折強度に由来するピークを生じる。これに対し、本発明のカルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩の場合は、微結晶セルロースを原料に使用した場合でも2θ=22.6°の回折ピークは消失している方が好ましい。
[カルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩の水不溶性および/または水膨潤性]
本発明のカルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩は、水不溶性および/または水膨潤性を示す。すなわち、水不溶性及び水膨潤性のうちの少なくとも一方を示すことが必要であり、好ましくは両方を示すものである。
It can be confirmed by measurement by X-ray diffraction that carboxymethylcellulose or a salt thereof is amorphous. Specifically, if it is confirmed as a result of the X-ray diffraction measurement that a diffraction peak derived from the crystalline region other than the diffraction peak of 2θ = 18.5 ° derived from the amorphous region does not occur, non-crystalline It can be said that. For example, in cellulose I type crystal, a peak derived from the diffraction intensity of the 002 plane occurs at 2θ = 22.6 ° as measured by X-ray diffraction. On the other hand, in the case of carboxymethyl cellulose or a salt thereof of the present invention, it is preferable that the diffraction peak at 2θ = 22.6 ° disappears even when microcrystalline cellulose is used as a raw material.
[Water-insoluble and / or water-swelling property of carboxymethylcellulose or a salt thereof]
The carboxymethylcellulose or salt thereof of the present invention exhibits water insolubility and / or water swellability. That is, it is necessary to show at least one of water insolubility and water swellability, preferably both.

水不溶性とは、試料を水に1〜2重量%添加して3〜6時間撹拌後の状態を目視判定して不溶であれば水不溶性と判断することができる。   Water-insoluble can be determined to be water-insoluble if the sample is insoluble by visually judging the state after adding 1 to 2% by weight to water and stirring for 3 to 6 hours.

一方、水膨潤性とは、水に浸漬等接触した場合に体積が増加する(膨潤する)ことを示す。例えば、レーザー回折・散乱式粒度分布計で測定される体積累計50%粒子径に於いて、水を分散媒として測定した値のメタノールを分散媒として測定した値に対する比(水を分散媒として測定した値/メタノールを分散媒として測定した値)として表現することができ、該数値が2.0以上であることが好ましい。2.0未満では吸水、膨潤が不十分となり泡質改善効果、気泡安定性能が十分発揮されない。尚、上限は、カルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩が水不溶性を示す範囲であれば、特に限定はない。レーザー回折・散乱式粒度分布計としては、水、メタノールのそれぞれを分散媒とした場合の測定が可能であれば特に限定されず、例えば、マイクロトラック Model−9220−SRA(日機装(株)製)等を用いることができる。   On the other hand, water swellability indicates that the volume increases (swells) when immersed in water or the like. For example, the ratio of the value measured with water as the dispersion medium to the value measured with methanol as the dispersion medium (measured with water as the dispersion medium) at a 50% cumulative volume particle size measured with a laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution meter Value / value measured using methanol as a dispersion medium), and the numerical value is preferably 2.0 or more. If it is less than 2.0, water absorption and swelling are insufficient, and the foam quality improving effect and the bubble stabilizing performance are not sufficiently exhibited. The upper limit is not particularly limited as long as carboxymethyl cellulose or a salt thereof is in a range showing water insolubility. The laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution meter is not particularly limited as long as it can measure water and methanol as dispersion media. For example, Microtrac Model-9220-SRA (manufactured by Nikkiso Co., Ltd.) Etc. can be used.

[カルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩の製造]
本発明のカルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩を製造するにあたっては、公知のカルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩の製法を適用することができる。即ち、原料セルロースをマーセル化剤(アルカリ)で処理してマーセル化セルロース(アルカリセルロース)を調製した後に、エーテル化剤を添加してエーテル化反応させることで本発明のカルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩を製造することができる。
[Production of carboxymethyl cellulose or a salt thereof]
In producing the carboxymethyl cellulose or a salt thereof of the present invention, a known method for producing carboxymethyl cellulose or a salt thereof can be applied. That is, after processing raw material cellulose with a mercerizing agent (alkali) to prepare mercerized cellulose (alkali cellulose), the carboxymethyl cellulose of the present invention or a salt thereof is produced by adding an etherifying agent and causing an etherification reaction. can do.

原料のセルロースとしては、上述のセルロースであれば特に制限なく用いることができるが、セルロース純度が高いものが好ましく、特に、溶解パルプ、リンターを用いることが好ましい。これらを用いることにより、純度の高い非結晶のカルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩を得ることができる。   As the raw material cellulose, any cellulose can be used as long as it is the above-mentioned cellulose, but those having high cellulose purity are preferable, and it is particularly preferable to use dissolved pulp and linter. By using these, highly pure amorphous carboxymethylcellulose or a salt thereof can be obtained.

マーセル化剤としては水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム等の水酸化アルカリ金属塩等を使用することができる。エーテル化剤としてはモノクロロ酢酸、モノクロロ酢酸ソーダ等を使用することができる。   As the mercerizing agent, alkali metal hydroxide salts such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide can be used. As the etherifying agent, monochloroacetic acid, sodium monochloroacetate or the like can be used.

水溶性の一般的なカルボキシメチルセルロース(DS0.5以上)の製法の場合のマーセル化剤とエーテル化剤のモル比は、エーテル化剤としてモノクロロ酢酸を使用する場合では2.00〜2.45が一般的に採用される。その理由は、2.00以下であるとエーテル化反応が不十分となるため、未反応のモノクロロ酢酸が残って無駄が生じること、及び2.45以上であると過剰のマーセル化剤とモノクロロ酢酸による副反応が進行してグリコール酸アルカリ金属塩が生成するため、不経済であることにある。   The molar ratio of mercerizing agent to etherifying agent in the production method of water-soluble general carboxymethylcellulose (DS 0.5 or more) is 2.00 to 2.45 when monochloroacetic acid is used as the etherifying agent. Generally adopted. The reason is that if it is 2.00 or less, the etherification reaction becomes insufficient, so that unreacted monochloroacetic acid remains and waste occurs, and if it is 2.45 or more, an excessive mercerizing agent and monochloroacetic acid. This is uneconomical because an alkali metal glycolate salt is produced by the side reaction due to.

しかしながら、本発明のカルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩を得るためには極めて軽度にカルボキシメチルエーテル基を導入する必要がある。そのために、添加するエーテル化剤のモル数を低くすると、一般的に採用されているモル比ではマーセル化剤の添加モル数も少なくすることになる。その結果、セルロース内部、特に化学的反応性に乏しい結晶部分でのマーセル化は不十分となり、結晶構造が完全には破壊されないこともある。   However, in order to obtain the carboxymethyl cellulose or a salt thereof of the present invention, it is necessary to introduce a carboxymethyl ether group very lightly. Therefore, if the number of moles of the etherifying agent to be added is lowered, the number of moles of the mercerizing agent to be added is reduced at a generally employed molar ratio. As a result, mercerization inside the cellulose, particularly in a crystal part having poor chemical reactivity, becomes insufficient, and the crystal structure may not be completely destroyed.

本発明のカルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩を調製する際には、極めて軽度にカルボキシメチル化することが必要である。さらには、セルロース内部、特に化学的反応性に乏しい結晶部分の結晶構造を破壊する、すなわち非結晶性である方が好ましい。結晶構造を破壊するためには、セルロース内部も十分なマーセル化を行うために結晶構造を完全に破壊するに十分なマーセル化剤を添加するとともに、エーテル化剤の添加モル数は少量とすることが好ましい。マーセル化剤の添加量は、原料セルロースの無水グルコース単位当り、通常は1.0〜4.0モル、好ましくは1.2〜3.0モルとなるように調整することができる。前記マーセル化剤の添加量は、本発明で添加することのできるエーテル化剤に対し、通常は過剰である。過剰のマーセル化剤はエーテル化反応の際には副反応の原因となり不経済である。従って、エーテル化剤を添加する前に、反応系中に残存するマーセル化剤と添加するエーテル化剤のモル比(マーセル化剤/エーテル化剤)が2.0〜3.0、好ましくは2.2〜2.8になるように予めマーセル化剤を圧搾脱液して除去するか、鉱酸、有機酸などで中和しておくことが好ましい。   When preparing the carboxymethylcellulose or salt thereof of the present invention, it is necessary to carboxymethylate very lightly. Furthermore, it is preferable that the inside of the cellulose, particularly the crystal structure of the crystal part having poor chemical reactivity, is destroyed, that is, it is non-crystalline. In order to destroy the crystal structure, add sufficient mercerizing agent to completely destroy the crystal structure in order to achieve sufficient mercerization inside the cellulose, and add a small number of moles of etherifying agent. Is preferred. The addition amount of the mercerizing agent can be adjusted to usually 1.0 to 4.0 mol, preferably 1.2 to 3.0 mol, per anhydroglucose unit of the raw material cellulose. The addition amount of the mercerizing agent is usually excessive with respect to the etherifying agent that can be added in the present invention. Excess mercerizing agent causes side reactions during the etherification reaction and is uneconomical. Therefore, before adding the etherifying agent, the molar ratio of the mercerizing agent remaining in the reaction system to the etherifying agent to be added (merceling agent / etherifying agent) is 2.0 to 3.0, preferably 2 It is preferable that the mercerizing agent is removed by squeezing and draining in advance so as to be 2 to 2.8, or neutralized with a mineral acid, an organic acid or the like.

本発明のセルロース誘導体の製造に使用する溶媒としては、低級アルコールを挙げることができる。具体的にはメタノール、エタノール、n−プロピルアルコール、イソプロピルアルコール、n−ブタノール、イソブタノール、第3級ブタノール等の単独、または2種以上の混合物と水の混合媒体などである。溶媒の使用量は、一般に、原料セルロースに対し3〜20重量倍とすることができる。尚、低級アルコールと水の合計に対する低級アルコールの割合は60〜95重量%とすることができる。   A lower alcohol can be mentioned as a solvent used for manufacture of the cellulose derivative of this invention. Specifically, methanol, ethanol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, n-butanol, isobutanol, tertiary butanol or the like alone or a mixture medium of two or more and water are used. Generally the usage-amount of a solvent can be 3-20 weight times with respect to raw material cellulose. In addition, the ratio of the lower alcohol with respect to the sum total of a lower alcohol and water can be 60 to 95 weight%.

マーセル化処理は、原料セルロースと溶媒、マーセル化剤を混合して行うことができる。この際、反応温度は、通常0〜70℃、好ましくは10〜60℃である。また、反応時間は通常15分〜4時間、好ましくは30分〜2時間である。その後エーテル化処理を行うが、その前に必要に応じて、過剰のマーセル化剤を圧搾脱液して除去するか、鉱酸か有機酸で中和しておいてもよい。エーテル化処理では、エーテル化剤を原料セルロースに添加してエーテル化反応を行う。得られるカルボキシメチルセルロース又はその塩の性質、特にカルボキシメチル置換度は、原料セルロースの種類、エーテル化反応の反応系の溶媒組成、機械的条件、反応温度及び反応時間、その他の要因によって変化する。そのため、前記置換度が0.05〜0.4の範囲となるように、反応条件、特にエーテル化剤の添加量を調整することが必要となる。前記置換度にする際のエーテル化剤の添加量は、一般的には、無水グルコース単位当たり0.05〜1.0モルとすることができる。エーテル化反応の反応温度は、通常50〜90℃、好ましくは60〜80℃である。反応時間は通常30分〜6時間、好ましくは1時間〜3時間である。   The mercerization treatment can be performed by mixing raw material cellulose, a solvent, and a mercerizing agent. Under the present circumstances, reaction temperature is 0-70 degreeC normally, Preferably it is 10-60 degreeC. The reaction time is usually 15 minutes to 4 hours, preferably 30 minutes to 2 hours. Thereafter, an etherification treatment is carried out. Before that, if necessary, excess mercerizing agent may be removed by squeezing and draining, or neutralized with a mineral acid or an organic acid. In the etherification treatment, an etherification agent is added to the raw material cellulose to perform an etherification reaction. The properties of the obtained carboxymethyl cellulose or a salt thereof, particularly the degree of carboxymethyl substitution, varies depending on the type of raw cellulose, the solvent composition of the reaction system of the etherification reaction, mechanical conditions, reaction temperature and reaction time, and other factors. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the reaction conditions, particularly the addition amount of the etherifying agent, so that the degree of substitution is in the range of 0.05 to 0.4. In general, the addition amount of the etherifying agent in the substitution degree can be 0.05 to 1.0 mol per anhydroglucose unit.
