The final component of the emulsion is the aqueous emulsifying medium, typically water
The emulsion does not contain any hydrocarbons (e g , organic solvents such as kerosene, mineral oils, etc )
The emulsion of the present invention contains between about 10 and about 60 percent solids by weight, with amounts between about 15 and about 50 percent solids by weight being more preferred and amounts between about 20 and about 40 percent solids by weight being most preferred The viscosity of the emulsion typically ranges between about 100 and about 30000 cps as measured by a Brookfteld Viscometer, Spindle #3, 60 rpm, with a viscosity of between about 200 and about 2000 cps being more preferred Preparation of the inventive emulsion simply comprises a simple sequential mixture of the various components under preferred heating and agitation conditions In practice the solid particulate material is first mixed into the silicone fluid under heat and pressure (2000 psi for homogenization) and agitation sufficient to yield a homogenous material This homogenous material is thereafter added to a vessel containing water and the non-silicone containing surface active agent followed by addition of the silicone containing surface active agent Thereafter optional bases thickening agents, and the like are added and the emulsion is mixed until it is completely homogenous
The above synthesized emulsion may be used in any application where foam reduction is desired such as in personal care products, agricultural applications detergents and cleaners and in paper mill operations A particularly preferred use of the novel composition is in Kraft pulp liquor defoaming
To utilize the emulsion of the present invention to control foam in aqueous foaming systems the above defined emulsion is simply added to an acidic, basic or neutral aqueous foaming (or foam- producing) system Typically, the foam control emulsions of the present invention are added at a concentration of about 10 ppm to about 0 1 percent based on the weight of the foaming system However, the skilled artisan will readily determine optimum concentrations after a few routine experiments
The emulsions of the present invention provide the following advantages as compared to prior art systems which require the presence of hydrocarbons environmentally safe and friendly, easy to process, and, when used in paper mills the emulsion does not contribute to deposit formation It is well known that mineral oils and other hydrocarbons typically present in defoaming agents tackify naturally occumng wood pitch making the colloidal particles more susceptible to agglomeration thereby increasing the probability of the formation of deposits Since there is no hydrocarbon present in the inventive emulsion there is a much reduced risk of deposit formation In addition, they have an extremely long shelf life, with the emulsion demonstrating stability for greater than 30 days, more preferably greater than 90 days and most preferably greater than 180 days being possible This stability is demonstrated even at high storage temperatures (i e greater than about 40°C)
The invention is described in greater detail by the following non-limiting examples
Example 1
Approximately 91 parts of a 1000 centistoke silicone fluid is added to a vessel and the vessel is heated to 120°F Approximately 9 parts of silica is added to the vessel and it is mixed until the lumps in the vessel disappear The contents are then homogenized at 2000 psi to yield what is defined as the silicone base
In a separate vessel 1 5 parts of ethoxylated steaπc acid (having 40 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of molecule) and 3 0 parts of sorbitan monostearate are added to 62 75 parts of water and the mixture is heated to 150°F and mixed and held at this temperature for 30 minutes 23 025 parts of the silicone base are then pumped into this mixture followed by the addition of 6 975 parts of a silicone surfactant which is a dimethyl, 3-hydroxypropyl ethoxylated-propoxylated siloxane and/or silicone (CAS Registration No 68937-55-3) and the contents are mixed for 30 minutes 2 5 parts of a polyacrylate dispersant diluted with 50 percent water is added and the mixture is mixed for 30 minutes 0 150 parts of NaOH (50% solution) are then added the mixture is agitated for 30 minutes and the vessel contents are allowed to cool to about 90-100°F 0 100 parts of a biocide which is a 20% solution of 1 ,2-benzιsothιazolιn-3-one in dipropylene glycol are then added and the entire vessel contents are mixed until homogenous If it is necessary to modify the pH and viscosity of the final product a polyacrylate dispersant (Colloid 1560, Rhόne-Poulenc Inc ) and NaOH may be added to the mixture
The resulting product is a creamy white liquid having a specific gravity of between about 0 98 and 1 02 The viscosity of the material at 25°C is between about 800 and 1300 cps as measured by a Brookfield Viscometer, Spindle #3, 60 rp , the pH is between 7 5 and 9 0 and the percent solids is 35 percent
Test Data
To determine the usefulness of the above composition as a pulp defoamer the following procedure is performed 400 mis of black liquor from a paper mill located in the Southeast part of the United States is heated to 85°C The liquor is transferred into a laboratory "Foam-Cel" foam tester and the rheostat on the tester is activated to 80% to 100% of line voltage (120 volts), thereby starting the pump of the tester This causes the foam in the black liquor to rise When the foam level reaches 24 cm, a specific aliquot of defoaming chemical is added to the tester The level of foam is measured on a periodic basis (every 15 seconds) until the foam level reaches its upper limit (28 cm) and the rheostat is turned off The first reading, which occurs at the time of aliquot addition, is referred to the "Knockdown" time
The following emulsion materials are tested to determine their effectiveness
Sample A - Example 1 Composition (400 μl aliquot)
Sample B - Commercial product made by Nottingham Chemical (400 μl aliquot) Sample C - Commercial product made by Basso (530 μl aliquot)
Sample D - Commercial product made by Callaway Chemical (400 μl aliquot) Sample E - Commercial product made by Henkel Chemical (400 μl aliquot)
The tests are conducted in triplicate Results are shown in the attached table All height measurements are in centimeters and all time measurements are in seconds
Figure imgf000013_0001
The Figure depicts this data in graphical form except the results for Sample B, which are omitted
The above data demonstrates that the inventive composition of the present invention provides excellent defoaming properties These properties include excellent knockdown and maintenance of a low foam height for extended periods of time In addition, because they are completely solvent- free, they are more environmentally desirable compositions and will not contribute to the formation of organic deposition because they do not contain volatile organic solvents or hydrocarbons
Example 2
To 100 parts of the composition of Example 1 are added about 3 5 parts of either PULPAID 3472, manufactured by Dow Corning, or PULPSIL® 160-C manufactured by Wacker-Chimie The resulting compositions are tested using the above Test Data procedures While the initial knockdown values for these two compositions are comparable to those of the Example 1 composition, the foam height remains at a low value for extended periods of time This phenomenon is particularly seen at times of between 60 seconds and 120 seconds after addition of the emulsion composition This Example demonstrates that an even better performance can be obtained by the addition of small amounts of specialty additives to the emulsion
Having described the invention in detail and by reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it will be apparent that modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the appended claims
