Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform a modification of fibers capable of steeply shortening a required time and improving feeling and flexibility of the fibers by dipping the fibers in a shape of tow, etc., in a specific ozone water. SOLUTION: Fibers such as cellulosic fibers are modified by dipping the fibers in a shape of tow, yarn, woven material or knit material, etc., into ozone water obtained by dispersing an ozone-containing gas comprising ozone and oxygen or air into water in a shape of a bubble having <=0.08mm diameter (concentration is preferably >=35mg/L). Preferably, before dipping the fibers into the ozone water, the fibers are dipped into warm water and cooled by dipping into water at a room temperature, then dipped into the ozone water.

On the other hand, a method is known in which fibers are treated with an aqueous solution of ozone for the purpose of bleaching. However, when ozone is dissolved in water, large bubbles composed of ozone and oxygen or air are formed, and these bubbles immediately rise. Since ozone disappeared into the atmosphere, the time during which ozone stayed in water was short, and the objectives could hardly be achieved. Further, the fabric is wound in a multilayer structure on a cylinder made of a perforated plate and placed in a tank, and an ozone solution having an ozone concentration of about 15 mg / liter is passed from the inside of the cylinder in the radial direction of the rolled fabric wound in the multilayer structure. Although a method (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 7-11565) is known, even in this case, even though the ozone concentration is low and effective for improving bleaching and pilling properties, a fiber modification comparable to kneading can be performed. It could not be performed and was unsuitable for continuous processing.

As the ozone generator, a known device such as a device for performing plasma discharge or ultraviolet irradiation in dry air or oxygen or a device for performing electrolysis of water can be used. However, the generated ozone concentration in air or oxygen is preferably 58 g / m 3 (29000 ppm) or more. If the generated ozone concentration is lower than this, it becomes difficult to bring the ozone concentration in the ozone water to a desired concentration, and the fiber It is unsuitable for use as a material for reforming.

When ozone immediately after generation is introduced into water together with air or oxygen, the ozone-containing gas easily forms large bubbles in the water. In the present invention, ozone water having an ozone-containing bubble diameter of 0.08 mm or less is used. For this purpose, ozone immediately after generation is introduced into the water together with air or oxygen, and large ozone-containing bubbles generated in the water are carried in a water stream and collide with projections or baffles to break them into fine bubbles, which are then brought into the water. It is preferable to perform uniform dispersion.

In the present invention, the fibers are immersed in the above-mentioned ozone water in the form of tows, yarns, woven fabrics, knits and the like. This immersion
Either a batch type or a continuous type may be used, but a continuous type in which the immersion treatment tank is filled with ozone water and the long fiber is immersed in the ozone water while being renewed and transferred in one direction is advantageous. Then, the fiber is treated with ozone in water during the immersion, but since ozone is dissolved in water as fine bubbles together with air and oxygen, ozone stays in water for a relatively long time, and the ozone The ozone concentration is maintained at a high level, so that the ozone effectively acts on the immersed fibers, whereby the fibers are fibrillated and softened in a shorter time than conventional kneading. However, when the diameter of the ozone-containing bubbles is large and exceeds 0.08 mm, the residence time of the ozone-containing bubbles in water is short, and it is difficult to maintain the ozone concentration at a high level of 35 mg / liter or more as described in claim 2. And it becomes difficult to achieve the purpose.

Prior to immersing the fiber in ozone, the fiber is preferably immersed in warm water having a temperature of 40 to 60 ° C., and then immersed in water at room temperature to be cooled. Thereafter, it can be introduced into the above immersion treatment tank. In this case, once the fibers are immersed in warm water, the dried fibers are not immersed in the immersion treatment tank, so that it is possible to prevent bubbles from coming into contact with the dried fibers and being repelled. Also, by cooling with cold water of about room temperature after immersion in warm water, the temperature of ozone water in the immersion treatment tank can be prevented from rising, and ozone can be kept at a high concentration.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, "Ozonizer AZ-3" manufactured by Kojima Seisakusho Co., Ltd. was used as the ozone generator 20, and ozone was produced from oxygen at a rate of 27.9 g / H. 3 (29000 ppm) of ozone-containing gas, and this ozone-containing gas is
4 and mixed with the water circulating through the dissolution circulation path 24, and ozone-containing bubbles formed of ozone and oxygen generated in the water are pulverized by a gas-liquid mixer 26 into fine bubbles having a diameter of about 0.05 mm. The mixture was uniformly dispersed in the tank 21 to obtain ozone water having an ozone concentration of 58 mg / liter. Since the ozone water contained the above-mentioned fine bubbles, it took a milk-like state, and the time required for the above-mentioned bubbles to fly into the atmosphere and become transparent was about 1 minute and 40 seconds. On the other hand, the gas-liquid mixer 26
In the case where stirring was carried out with a stirring blade without using the water, the diameter of the bubble was about 0.5 mm, and the time until the bubble disappeared from the water was about 20 seconds.

It was almost the same as the destruction caused by the quality processing. That is, the required time was reduced to 1/10 or less from the conventional 4 to 5 hours. When the diameter of the bubble is about 0.5 mm, ozone is easily scattered.

As described above, according to the first to third aspects of the present invention, the fibers are fibrillated by ozone treatment in the form of a tow, a thread, a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, or the like. Modification processing at the same level as processing can be performed, and the required time is greatly shortened compared to conventional processing, and continuity is possible. In addition, ozone disappears into the atmosphere and becomes oxygen, generating harmful substances at all do not do.
