Description

本発明は、α−スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩を高濃度に含有する界面活性剤組成物に関する。   The present invention relates to a surfactant composition containing an α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt in a high concentration.

α−スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩からなるアニオン界面活性剤は、洗浄剤、例えば、食器用洗剤、シャンプー、衣料用洗剤等の主活性剤として広く使用されている。
α−スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩組成物は、通常、水を含有するペースト状又は液状の組成物として製造され、流通されるが、その有効成分濃度は、取り扱い性、生産効率、製品輸送のコストなどを考慮すればできるだけ高濃度であることが望ましい。α−スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩組成物の流動性は、原料油脂の化学構造、製造に際しての未反応物や副生物等にも影響されるが、有効成分が同じであっても濃度によってその流動性は著しく異なり、また一般に40質量%以上で急激に流動性が低下する。例えば、ドラム缶からα−スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩組成物の抜き出しが困難になる程流動性が低下することがあることも知られている。
したがって、α−スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩組成物の濃度を下げることなく流動性を改善できれば、生産効率が向上すると共に輸送コストが減少し、工業的に極めて有利となる。
Anionic surfactants composed of α-sulfo fatty acid ester salts are widely used as main active agents for detergents such as dishwashing detergents, shampoos and clothing detergents.
The α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt composition is usually manufactured and distributed as a paste-like or liquid composition containing water, and its active ingredient concentration has a handling property, production efficiency, cost of product transportation, etc. Considering it, it is desirable that the concentration be as high as possible. The fluidity of the α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt composition is affected by the chemical structure of the raw oil and fat, unreacted products and by-products during production, but even if the active ingredients are the same, the fluidity depends on the concentration. The fluidity is remarkably different, and generally the fluidity is drastically lowered at 40% by mass or more. For example, it is also known that the fluidity may decrease as it becomes difficult to extract the α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt composition from the drum.
Therefore, if the fluidity can be improved without reducing the concentration of the α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt composition, the production efficiency is improved and the transportation cost is reduced, which is extremely advantageous industrially.

流動性を向上させたアニオン界面活性剤組成物としては、例えば(i)アルキルサルフェートと、ポリアルキレンエーテルグリコールジ硫酸エステルのモノ及び/又はジ塩を粘度調整剤として含有する組成物(特許文献1参照)、及び(ii)高級アルコール硫酸化物の中和工程時又は中和後に、平均分子量300〜6000のポリエチレングリコールを0.1〜25重量%の割合で添加した低粘度界面活性剤(特許文献2参照)が知られている。しかしながら、これらの界面活性剤組成物は未だ流動性が不十分であり、到底満足し得るものではない。   As an anionic surfactant composition with improved fluidity, for example, (i) a composition containing an alkyl sulfate and a mono- and / or di-salt of polyalkylene ether glycol disulfate as a viscosity modifier (Patent Document 1) And (ii) a low-viscosity surfactant in which polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of 300 to 6000 is added at a ratio of 0.1 to 25% by weight during or after the neutralization step of the higher alcohol sulfate (Patent Document) 2) is known. However, these surfactant compositions still have insufficient fluidity and are not satisfactory.

The present inventors have found that the above problem can be solved by containing a specific proportion of an inorganic chloride salt relative to the α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt.
That is, the present invention is a surfactant composition comprising 40% by mass or more of an α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt and an inorganic chloride salt, wherein the mass ratio of [α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt: inorganic chloride salt] is A surfactant composition is provided that is 99: 1 to 90:10.

For example, as shown by the following formula, a fatty acid ester (3) obtained by reacting a fat and oil with a lower alcohol such as methanol is sulfonated with a sulfonating agent such as sulfur trioxide to obtain an α-sulfo fatty acid ester (2). The aging is followed by neutralization to obtain the α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt (1).

上記式において、R1、R2及びMは、前記と同じである。
脂肪酸エステル(3)は、牛脂、豚油、魚油等から誘導される動物系脂肪酸エステル、ヤシ油、パ−ム油、パーム核油、大豆油、米ヌカ油等から誘導される植物系脂肪酸エステル、α−オレフィンのオキソ法から誘導される合成脂肪酸アルキルエステル等のいずれでもよく、特に限定されない。例えばラウリン酸、パルミチン酸、ステアリン酸、硬化牛脂脂肪酸、硬化魚油脂肪酸、ヤシ油脂肪酸、パ−ム油脂肪酸、パ−ム核油脂肪酸等の脂肪酸のメチル、エチル又はプロピルエステル等を挙げることができる。これらの脂肪酸エステル(3)は、単独でも混合物でもよいが、着色防止の観点から、そのヨウ素価は、好ましくは0.5以下、より好ましくは0.1以下である。

上記脂肪酸エステル(3)からα―スルホ脂肪酸エステル(2)へのスルホン化に使用する三酸化イオウは、脱湿空気、窒素等で希釈した1.5〜10容量%のものを用いることができる。
スルホン化反応における〔SO3/脂肪酸エステル(3)〕モル比は、反応速度の観点から、1.1〜1.3の範囲が好ましい。スルホン化反応温度は、通常50〜90℃で行う。

薄膜式反応装置でスルホン化反応させた場合は、通常、その反応直後では、下記一般式(4)で表される中間体化合物が生成し、α―スルホ脂肪酸エステル(2)はほとんど生成しない。そのため、その反応混合物を70〜100℃で約0.5〜2時間熟成することによって、中間体化合物(4)からSO3を脱離させるのと同時に、残存している脂肪酸エステル(3)のスルホン化反応を進行させることにより、α−スルホ脂肪酸エステル(2)を生成させる。 When the sulfonation reaction is carried out using a thin film reactor, an intermediate compound represented by the following general formula (4) is usually produced immediately after the reaction, and α-sulfo fatty acid ester (2) is hardly produced.

上記一般式(4)において、R1、R2及びMは、前記と同じである。
得られる混合物には中間体化合物(4)が残存するが、中間体化合物(4)を中和すると、洗浄効果に寄与しないα−スルホ脂肪酸塩となるため、洗浄剤用途においては中間体(4)の含有量をできるだけ低下させることが好ましい。
そこで、熟成工程後に、下記式で示されるように、低級アルコールを添加して中間体化合物(4)をα−スルホ脂肪酸エステル(2)とすることができる。
In the general formula (4), R 1 , R 2 and M are the same as described above.
Although the intermediate compound (4) remains in the resulting mixture, neutralization of the intermediate compound (4) results in an α-sulfo fatty acid salt that does not contribute to the cleaning effect. ) Is preferably reduced as much as possible.
Therefore, after the aging step, as shown by the following formula, a lower alcohol can be added to turn the intermediate compound (4) into an α-sulfo fatty acid ester (2).

上記式において、R1、R2及びMは、前記と同じである。
得られたα―スルホ脂肪酸エステル(2)は、水酸化ナトリウム、水酸化カリウム等のアルカリ金属化合物でpH6〜7になるように中和することにより、本発明のα―スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩(1)を得ることができる。
α―スルホ脂肪酸エステル(2)の中和に使用するアルカリ金属化合物の濃度は特に限定されないが、中和後のα―スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩(1)を含む組成物が十分な流動性を有するようにする為には、アルカリ金属化合物の濃度は、通常10〜50質量%の範囲で使用されることが好ましい。
In the above formula, R 1 , R 2 and M are the same as described above.
The obtained α-sulfo fatty acid ester (2) is neutralized with an alkali metal compound such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide so as to have a pH of 6 to 7, whereby the α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt (1) of the present invention (1) is obtained. ) Can be obtained.
The concentration of the alkali metal compound used for neutralization of the α-sulfo fatty acid ester (2) is not particularly limited, but the composition containing the α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt (1) after neutralization has sufficient fluidity. In order to make it, it is preferable that the concentration of the alkali metal compound is usually used in the range of 10 to 50% by mass.

本発明においては、α―スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩(1)を含む組成物の濃度増加に伴う粘度変化を抑制するため、α―スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩に対して無機塩化物塩を含有することに特徴がある。ここで、α−スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩の含有量は、該組成物中40質量%以上、特に50質量%以上、中でも特に60質量%以上の界面活性剤組成物において、本発明の効果を奏するものである。また、その含有量は、該組成物中における〔α−スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩:無機塩化物塩〕の質量比が99:1〜90:10であり、好ましくは98:2〜92:8であり、より好ましくは97:3〜93:7である量とする。   The present invention is characterized by containing an inorganic chloride salt with respect to the α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt in order to suppress a change in viscosity accompanying an increase in the concentration of the composition containing the α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt (1). is there. Here, the surfactant composition having an α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt content of 40% by mass or more, particularly 50% by mass or more, particularly 60% by mass or more in the composition exhibits the effects of the present invention. It is. In addition, the mass ratio of [α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt: inorganic chloride salt] in the composition is 99: 1 to 90:10, preferably 98: 2 to 92: 8. More preferably, the amount is 97: 3 to 93: 7.

前記反応式により得られたα−スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩(1)を含む組成物は、特に、濃度40質量%以上で急激に粘度が上昇し、ハンドリング性が極めて悪い。
しかしながら、このα−スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩組成物に無機塩化物塩を、〔α−スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩:無機塩化物塩〕の質量比が99:1〜90:10の割合の範囲内とすることにより、α−スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩組成物の濃度が40質量%以上の場合であっても、濃度増加に伴う粘度変化を極めて緩慢に抑えることができる。より具体的には、α−スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩組成物に無機塩化物塩を前記の割合で配合すれば、濃度40質量%以上での粘度の上昇は抑制され、流動性が極めて優れた組成物となる。また、希釈性、溶解性も良好であるので、ハンドリング性が優れている。
In particular, the composition containing the α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt (1) obtained by the above reaction formula has a sharply increased viscosity at a concentration of 40% by mass or more, and the handling property is extremely poor.
However, the inorganic chloride salt is added to the α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt composition so that the mass ratio of [α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt: inorganic chloride salt] is in the range of 99: 1 to 90:10. Thus, even when the concentration of the α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt composition is 40% by mass or more, a change in viscosity accompanying an increase in concentration can be suppressed very slowly. More specifically, when an inorganic chloride salt is added to the α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt composition in the above proportion, an increase in viscosity at a concentration of 40% by mass or more is suppressed, and the composition has excellent fluidity. It becomes. In addition, since the dilutability and solubility are also good, handling properties are excellent.

This α-sulfopalmitic acid methyl ester is put into an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, neutralized to pH 6.8, and an α-sulfopalmitic acid methyl ester salt aqueous solution (α-sulfopalmitic acid methyl ester salt content: 9.3 mass%) was obtained.
Sodium chloride is added to the obtained α-sulfopalmitic acid methyl ester salt aqueous solution, concentrated using a rotary evaporator and a freeze dryer, or diluted with water, and air bubbles are generated using a centrifuge (KUBOTA 2010, manufactured by Kubota Corporation). The α-sulfopalmitic acid methyl ester salt aqueous solution with each concentration was obtained.
A cone plate having a cone angle of 4 ° and a diameter of 40 mm was attached to the rotor of a VAR-50 Visco Analyzer (manufactured by REOLOGICA Instruments AB), and the viscosity of each aqueous solution was measured at 50 ° C. The results are shown in Table 1.

実施例1で得られたα−スルホパルミチン酸メチルエステル塩組成物を乾燥させて得た粉末(α−スルホパルミチン酸メチルエステル塩含有量:80.0質量%、塩化ナトリウム含有量:3.0質量%、α−スルホパルミチン酸ナトリウム塩含有量:1.1質量%、硫酸ナトリウム含有量:0.6質量%)を用いて、希釈性及び溶解性を調べた。具体的には、この粉末1.25gを30mLビーカーに採り、70℃に加熱した水浴でビーカーを加熱し、ビーカー中の粉末を融解させた。
次いで、氷浴中でビーカーを冷却し、融解液を凝固させ、氷浴中で冷却した蒸留水8.78gをビーカー中に加えた。氷浴中で5分間静置した後、ビーカーを50℃水浴中に移し、マグネティックスターラー(三田村理研工業株式会社製、CONSTANT TORQUE MAGMIX STIRRER、回転子寸法:長さ15mm、直径5mm、回転数:200rpm)を用いて撹拌した。撹拌開始後、20分間で凝固物は完全に溶解した。このことから、塩化ナトリウムを含む本発明のα−スルホ脂肪酸エステル塩組成物は、希釈性、溶解性が良好で、ハンドリング性に優れていることが分かる。
Example 4
Powder obtained by drying the α-sulfopalmitic acid methyl ester salt composition obtained in Example 1 (α-sulfopalmitic acid methyl ester salt content: 80.0% by mass, sodium chloride content: 3.0 Dilutability and solubility were examined using a mass%, α-sulfopalmitic acid sodium salt content: 1.1 mass%, sodium sulfate content: 0.6 mass%). Specifically, 1.25 g of this powder was taken in a 30 mL beaker, and the beaker was heated in a water bath heated to 70 ° C. to melt the powder in the beaker.
The beaker was then cooled in an ice bath to solidify the melt and 8.78 g of distilled water cooled in an ice bath was added into the beaker. After standing for 5 minutes in an ice bath, the beaker was transferred to a 50 ° C. water bath, and a magnetic stirrer (manufactured by Mitamura Riken Kogyo Co., Ltd. CONSTANT TORQUE MAGMIX STIRERR, rotor dimensions: length 15 mm, diameter 5 mm, rotation speed: 200 rpm) ). The coagulum completely dissolved in 20 minutes after the start of stirring. From this, it can be seen that the α-sulfo fatty acid ester salt composition of the present invention containing sodium chloride has good dilutability and solubility and excellent handling properties.
