Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application is a continuation-in-part application of co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 749,343 filed June 27, 1985 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,891,422.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to compositions of matter, which may be used to purify industrial waste water and other industrial waste liquids, solids or semiliquids, chemicals, demulsification processes, in the pulp and paper industry (e.g. sizing processes, drainage, retention, flotation), mining industry, clay industry or other industries which have a waste water or waste liquid problem.

It is well known that guanidine resins or polymers are of low molecular weight, and have very limited shelf life, in most cases less than 3 months, often only a few days or weeks. Low cationic charge polymers are of limited use in industrial water treatment of potable water. Treatment is very limited, since the free formaldehyde content is high. Most of the products can be used only as coagulants in connection with alum, AlCl₃, FeCl₃, Fe₂ (SO₄)₃ and mixtures of these salts, at a pH of from 6.0 to 9∅

It has been found that reaction of guanidine, guanidine charged polymers or guanidine alkylamine/alkylamine polymers with inorganic adduct polymers and/or its guanidine derivative polymers alloy with organic alkyl or alkylene polyamine and adducts with inorganic adducts polymers will form very stable multi cationic or anionic polymers which can be used as coagulant and coagulant-flocculants with or without any electrolytes from a pH of 2 to a pH of 13.5.

These products can be used in any kind of industrial waster water, potable water, acid rain water purification, sludge coagulation and solidfications, or dust suppressant applications.

The inorganic-organic adduct polymers are twice as efficient as regular guanidine resins, having a shelf life from at least one year to four years, depending on the composition. The products produce low volume sludges, which relieve large volume disposal problems for the environment.

The invented compositions are made from inorganic polymers in reaction with guanidine polymers and their organic alloy with high nitrogen content compositions of polyamines, polyquaternized polymers, polyamides, and polyamine-polyamide polymers.

This invention generally relates to the novel of inorganic-organic alloy (co)polymers of the formula: ##STR1## where: r=0 to 98% 100%

In component D, D+ other quaternary ammonium compounds and an ethylenically unsaturated copolymerizable compound such as poly (DADMAC), or cationic (co)polyacrylamide or their (co)polymer compounds are incorporated as the segment (PQAM) of the generic formulae: ##STR16## or other structures as are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,311,594, 3,645,954, 3,585,148, 2,926,161, 2,923,701, 4,053,512, 3,032,539, and 2,550,652.

The inorganic adduct polymers which are multianions can display the monoactivity charges of (Cl-) or 1/2 SO₄²- by the multivalent metal anion system generating more active flocculants and/or coagulants.

For instance, if an inorganic adduct polymer such as aluminumhydroxysulfate is reacted with polydiallydimethylammoniumchloride, the chloride anion (Cl-) will be displayed by the multi anion, thus: ##STR17## where the dissociation constant (k_d) is greater than association constant (k_a); ##STR18## where R₁ and R₂ represent hydrogen, methyl and ethyl radicals, R₃ and R₄ each represents alkyl, alkoxyalkyl, hydroxyalkyl radicals having one to 8 carbon atoms and Y represents an anion and 2 complex anions, such as methosulfate, ethosulfate, chlorine, bromine and iodine.

The polyamide and/or polyamine are made by reaction of dibasic carboxylic acid, such as adipic acid, with epsilon caprolactam and/or diethylene triamine and/or polyalyleneamines having C₄ -C₈, and/or by reaction of dibasic carboxylic acid first reacted with polyalkylenepolyamide containing the recurring groups:

--NH (C_n H₂n HN)_x CORCO--

where n and x are each 2 or more, and R is a divalent hydrocarbon radical of dibasic carboxylic acid. The long chain polyamide is then reacted with epichlorohydrin (EPI) and/or other haloderivative products mentioned above. The Group of Components D D+ can include products with or without N- substituted polyacrylamide quaternary ammonium salts (co) polymers, or cationic (co)polyacrylamide or polyallyltrialkylammonium (co)polymers, such as polydiallyldimithylammoniumchloride (POLYDADMAC). (co)polymers of hydrochloride of N,N diallylglycine, polydiallylamine are also incorporated into the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

It is known that guanidine resins can be made either alkaline or acidic in pH. In either case, the products are not of high molecular weight and have a very short pot life. The gelation effect is very common to all of them. The guanidine resins are very sensitive to water, therefore water must be added slowly. It is known that even in the presence of Bronsted or in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst, such as ammonium chloride, ammonium sulfate, and/or ammonium nitrate, very few anions such as chlorine, sulfate and/or nitrate are attracted by the molecule to form stable ammonium type products.

The guanidine polymers and/or resins are made in the pH range from 0.5 to 7.0, but preferably about pH 5.5. These polymers can be made by reacting the guanidine and/or dicyandiamide with urea, ethylene diamine, and/or triethylenetetramine hydrochloride, ammonium chloride, ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, formaldehyde and/or paraformaldehyde, hydrochloric acid. The stable guanidine polymers and/or resins can be made by co-reacting the guanidine monomers and/or dicyandiamide in the presence of mono and/or polyfunctional amines or other HCl salts in the pH range from acid to 9, but preferably about pH 5.5, such as:

The most preferable products to be charged or having the radicals R₁, R₂ of formula B(2) as cationic charge group can be made from mole ratios of guanidine and/or dicyandiamide to formaldehyde to ammonium chloride such as:

1.0-2; 2-4; 1-2.

Guanidine, guanidine charged or quaternized polymers made in accordance with this invention remained stable more than three years at high solid concentrations versus only a few weeks or months for regular resins of this class.

The inorganic adduct polymers as described above, and/or regular salts of trivalent or higher metals can be reached with guanidine (co)polymers with polyamine-polyamide organic alloys to form stable high potentials coagulants-flocculants polymers. For high stability, the polyamide (PAD) and polyamine (PAM) are recommended to be in the weight ratio of:

The inorganic polymers and/or or regular salts as described above can be used from 5% to 95% by weight and the polymine and/or polyamine or polymide and/or or polyamide/polyamine alloys can be used from 5% by weight to 95% by weight, to obtain stable complex adducts.

In the case of the reaction between inorganic adducts polymers and the guanidine, guanidine charged or quaternized polymers, and its alloys of polyamine and/or polyamide/polyamine, the weight percentage can vary from:

0-98% by weight of inorganic polymers or inorganic salts

95-0% by weight guanidine polymers, and/or or

0-98% by weight of inorganic polymers or inorganic salts

70-0% by weight of guanidine polymers

0-95% by weight of polyamine and/or or polyamide/polyamine, and/or or polyamide.

In the case of inorganic polymers and polyamine and/or or polyamide/polyamine, and/or polyamide, the percentage by weight can be from:

0% to 95% of polyamine and/or or polyamide/polyamine, and/or polyamide.

95% to 0% of inorganic polymers, quaternary ammonium and/or or allyltrialkylammonium compounds.

The multi charges complex adduct polymers flocculant should be used in an effective amount which is readily determinable in use. This statement is well explained in the case of the multiple cationic charge of polyamine polymers described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,894,945. Other multi-nitrogen or polyamine polymers are described in: U.S. Pat. Nos.: 2,990,397 and 3,617,570; U.S. Disclosure Document T965,001; Switzerland Patents CH Nos. 776,318 and CH 616,951; German Pat. Nos. 1,111,114; 855,001; 767,276; 671,704; 323,665; and 325,647; German OLS: 2,942,788; 2,321,627; 2,942,788 (Products A to E); and British Pat. Nos.: 314,358; and 632,936.

The coagulation performance is determined by the turbidity test described in ASTM D2035-68.

The invented products and processes for their formation along with relevant data are presented below. It will be understood that these examples are not intended as limiting the invention, but as examples of the operation of the invention.
