Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of oxygen-based bleaching activator particles, and in particular to pink TAED bleaching activator particles and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Compared to chlorine bleaches, oxygen-based bleaches are not only environmentally friendly, but also offer advantages such as high whiteness, good whiteness stability, and compatibility with a wide range of fibers and their blends, making them widely used. However, oxygen-based bleaches, such as sodium perborate or sodium percarbonate, typically require high temperatures (≥60°C) or strong alkaline conditions to fully exert their bleaching effect. This results in high energy consumption during the rinsing process and high alkalinity in the wastewater discharged during the rinsing process.

[0003] Tetraacetylethylenediamine, or TAED, is an amide-based bleach activator. When used in conjunction with sodium percarbonate bleach, it effectively enhances bleaching performance and reduces rinse temperatures, contributing to energy conservation and emission reduction during the rinse process, as well as promoting a low-carbon lifestyle. TAED, due to its outstanding bleach activation performance, is widely used as a low-temperature oxygen-based bleaching aid in daily chemical detergents. In this sector, to highlight the product's superior bleaching properties and enable tracking, identification, and functional indication of the TAED component, TAED is typically mixed with organic pigments and colorants and then granulated to create TAED granules with a specific color. When added to daily chemical detergent base powder, the vibrant and brightly colored TAED granules, particularly red TAED granules, not only enhance the product's overall appearance and make it more attractive, but also further enhance its recognition, aiding user identification and selection.

[0004] However, existing bleach activator coloring and granulation processes primarily use traditional organic pigments as the bleach activator colorant. For example, Kao Corporation's patent TW401457B mixes and granulates a bleach activator, a binder, and cyanine green or phthalocyanine blue pigments to produce green or blue bleach activator granules. Another example, Lion Corporation's patent JP1997013089A, proposes dispersing a bleach activator, a dye, and / or a pigment in a liquid binder under anhydrous conditions and then mixing and granulating the resulting colored bleach activator granules. While traditional organic pigments offer excellent coloring properties, they can impart a vibrant color to the bleach activator granules and facilitate tracking and identification of the corresponding component products within detergents. However, bleach activator particles prepared using traditional organic pigments as colorants can dissolve or penetrate into fabric fibers during the washing process, causing not only spots or discoloration in the fabric, affecting its appearance, but also residual pigment components in the fabric that may have an impact on human health. Furthermore, the pigments may contain environmentally harmful chemicals that are released into the water during the washing process, easily causing environmental pollution. Furthermore, organic pigments themselves have a certain degree of hiding power, and after being colored by organic pigments, the bleach activator particles will weaken their bleaching activation effect, resulting in poor bleaching results. Furthermore, the non-water-soluble nature of organic pigments can easily lead to uneven dispersion of the colorant within the bleach activator particles, affecting the color and appearance of the bleach activator particles.

[0005] Therefore, developing a new colored bleach activator particle and a preparation method thereof is an important research topic to improve the above-mentioned defects of the current bleach activator particles. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a pink TAED bleaching activator particle which is efficient and stable, improves product identification and tracking, function indication, and improves overall aesthetics, and a preparation method thereof.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A pink TAED bleach activator granule is prepared by mixing a TAED bleach activator, a colorant, a binder, other additives, and water. The weight percentages of the components are as follows: a TAED component content of 50-90 wt%, a colorant component content of 0.1%-10 wt%, a binder component content of 5-20 wt%, an inorganic additive component content of 0-10 wt%, and a moisture content of less than 3.0%. Preferably, the TAED component content is 70-85 wt%, the colorant component content is 1-6 wt%, the binder component content is 8-15 wt%, and the moisture content is less than 1.5 wt%.

[0009] The colorant uses a transition metal coordination compound. As a potential new type of pigment / dye substance, the transition metal coordination compound can change the physicochemical structural characteristics of the coordination compound by regulating factors such as the transition metal central atom, ligand type, coordination number and coordination environment, and accurately regulate the absorption of light of a specific wavelength to produce a specific color. The transition metal central atom can provide a hybrid orbital to stabilize the electrons of the ligand, ensuring that the transition metal organic coordination compound has excellent light / thermal stability and chemical stability; at the same time, some transition metal coordination compounds have special optical properties (fluorescence or phosphorescence) and can be used for security marking or biological marking, further enhancing its application value as a colorant. In response to the problems currently existing in the preparation of TAED particles using traditional organic pigments as colorants, this patent proposes a soluble transition metal coordination compound as a colorant to prepare a bright pink TAED bleaching activator particle. More specifically, manganese is used as the central atom of the coordination compound, and polynitrogen heterocycles are used as ligands to construct a soluble manganese-based-transition metal coordination complex as a colorant to prepare bright pink TAED particles. Compared with other transition metal coordination compounds, it has less impact on the body and the environment, and at the same time has bright colors and excellent photothermal stability and chemical stability, and has a certain promoting effect on peroxide bleaching, so as to solve the problems of pigment residue and covering in the washing process of traditional organic pigment-colored TAED, and uneven color dispersion in bleaching activator particles.

[0010] The colorant is a transition metal coordination compound having a manganese or iron ion as a central atom and a multidentate macrocyclic organic molecule having a donor atom such as N, NR, PR, O, or S with a lone pair of electrons as a ligand.

The particle shape and size are controlled using a rotary cutter in conjunction with a granulator, and the mixture is dried and sieved to obtain a colored TAED granule product of the target size. A staged mixing method is preferred, with a dry and wet mixing method being further preferred. Specifically, in the mixing stage, the TAED powder, binder, and inorganic additive are first dry-mixed in a dry mixer for 10 to 50 minutes, followed by spraying an aqueous solution containing 5 to 15 wt% of the transition metal coordination compound colorant into the wet mixer for kneading for 10 to 60 minutes.

The invention also improves the stability and activation bleaching effect of the bleaching activator particles. Compared with existing technologies, the invention has better environmental performance, stability, product identification and tracking performance, product aesthetics, and energy saving and emission reduction effects.

[0027] Specifically, the use of transition metal coordination compounds as colorants to replace traditional organic pigments avoids the residue of pigments on fabrics during the washing process and their adverse effects on the environment and human health, while also solving the problem of pigment color loss on fabrics. Since transition metal coordination compounds have excellent solubility and stability in aqueous solution, they have good dispersibility and coloring properties during the granulation process with TAED powder. TAED particles have uniform color and good product identification and tracking properties, making them convenient for users to identify and use, and more conducive to improving the overall aesthetics of washing products. In addition, TAED particles colored with transition metal coordination compounds can further enhance the bleaching effect of peroxides, reduce rinsing temperatures, achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, and promote low-carbon living, which is in line with current environmental protection trends and requirements.
