Abstract:
PURPOSE: To decrease the content of sodium chloride to a specific range, and to improve various properties of an amphoteric surfactant such as viscosity, stability, etc., by treating an amphoteric surfactant containing sodium chloride by electrodialysis, dialysis, and ion exchange resin treatment. CONSTITUTION: An amphoteric surfactant containing sodium chloride is treated by the electrodialysis, dialysis and ion exchange resin treatment (especially effective to a surfactant having low sodium chloride concentration). The sodium chloride can be removed easily and the content of sodium chloride is reduced to 1/2W1/1,000 of the original level. For example, the electrodialysis is carried out by placing electrodes at both ends of a multi-cell dialyzer containing alternately arranged cation exchange membranes and anion exchange membranes, and DC current is passed through the cells to transfer the Cl - ion toward the positive electrode and the Na + ion toward the negative electrode. EFFECT: Remarkable viscosity decrease is expected by the decrease in the sodium chloride, and the low-temperature stability is improved. A remarkable improvement in the compounding can be expected.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To economically purify an anionic surfactant having amide bond in the molecule thereof and useful as a low-irritating skin detergent to a high purity, by purifying the anionic surfactant using an electrodialysis method. CONSTITUTION:An anionic surfactant, expressed by formula I, II or III (R1 is 1-22C alkyl; R2 and R6 are 1-22C alkyl or H; R3 is 1-22C alkylene, alkylidene, etc.; n is an integer 1-100; R4 is 1-22C alkylene or alkylidene; X is COO or SO3; M is H or alkali metal atom, etc.) and having amide bond in the molecule thereof is purified by an electrodialysis method. The electrodialysis is a method for passing a DC current through electrodes at both ends of a multicompartment type dialyzer having alternately arranged cation exchange membranes and anion exchange membranes to migrate anions to the positive electrode side and cations to the negative electrode. Thereby, the low-molecular electrolytes, smelling components, etc., can be removed without losing the surfactant.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obtain an intended glycidyl compd. by using an electrodialysis method in the stage of effecting ring closure reaction by removing hydrogen halide from an epihalohydrin addition compd. so that the ring closure is effected without byproduction of halogen salt. CONSTITUTION:An electrodialysis cell constituted with cation exchange membranes A is used. The resulted product of addition reaction of the hydrogen halide of tertiary amine or polyamine and epihalohydrin is supplied into the partition chambers (org. material chambers) of such cell. On the other hand, an alkali is supplied to the cathode side (alkali chamber) of the partition chambers in the cell and DC current is conducted between the anode and cathode 1 and 2. Then the OH ions of the alkali migrate through the membranes A to the org. material chamber and reacts with the above- mentioned addition product as shown by the formula, thus creating an oxirane ring. On the other hand, the metallic ions M of the alkali are hut off by the membranes a and cannot migrate. The Cl formed therein migrates through the membranes A into the alkali chamber. The halogen salt is thus not byproduced in the org. material chamber and the need for a stage for removing the halogen salt as in the conventional practice is eliminated and the high-purity product contg. no halogen salt is obtd.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To efficiently produce a high purity surfactant by forming org. matter chambers and mineral acid chambers with cation exchange membranes and anion exchange membranes, filling an aq. electrolyte soln. into both terminal electrode chambers and supplying DC. CONSTITUTION:Cation exchange membranes C and anion exchange membranes A are alternately arranged between anode and cathode to alternately form org. matter chambers and mineral acid chambers. A mixed soln. contg. an alkali metal salt of an amino acid or acylated amino acid type surfactant and alkanolamine is filled into the org. matter chambers between the anion exchange membranes A and the cation exchange membranes C and an aq. mineral acid soln. is filled into the mineral acid chambers. An aq. soln. of an electrolyte such as sodium sulfate is further filled into both terminal electrode chambers and DC is supplied to carry out electrodialysis. The alkanolammonium or ammonium salt of the surfactant can be efficiently produced. Even when the ion exchange membranes are arranged in the reverse order, the desired product is efficiently obtd.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obtain a surfactant of desired purity by an efficient reaction by carrying out electrodialysis with an ion exchange membrane obtd. by treating the surface of a sulfonic acid type cation exchange membrane having a specified ion exchange capacity and a specified water content with an amine-aldehyde condensation product. CONSTITUTION:When an alkali metal salt of an amino acid or acylated amino acid type surfactant is electrodialyzed in the presence of a mineral acid salt of alkanolamine or ammonia to produce the alkanolammonium or ammonium salt of the amino acid or acylated amino acid type surfactant, the electrodialysis is carried out with a sulfonic acid type cation exchange membrane obtd. by treating the surface or surface layer of a cation exchange resin with an amine- aldehyde condensation product to regulate the ion exchange capacity to 2.0-3.0 milliequiv. per 1g dry resin and the water content to 0.2-0.3%. The desired ammonium salt of high purity can be efficiently produced.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To obtain a surfactant having good compatibility with various additives and excellent in low temp. stability in an aqueous solution form, by converting the ion pair of a specific amido-amino acid type surfactant to a hydrogen ion by a specific method and reducing the content of an inorg. salt to a fixed quantity or less. CONSTITUTION:A surfactant is obtained by a method wherein an alkali metal salt of secondary amido-amino acid represented by formula I obtained by reacting alkylimidazoline or amideamine with monohaloacetic acid in the presence of alkali is subjected to electrodialysis in the presence of mineral acid, mineral acid and triethanolamine or ammonia to prepare secondary amido-amino acid represented by formula II (wherein R is a 7-23C alkyl group, a hydroxyalkyl group, an aralkyl group or an alkenyl group and X is a hydrogen atom, an ammonium ion or a triethanolammonium ion) or a salt thereof of which the content of an inorg. salt is 0.2mol or less per 100g on the basis of acid type secondary amido-amino acid. This surfactant has good compatibility with various additives such as a water-soluble polymer and excellent low temp. stability in an aqueous solution form.
