Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning solution for washing resins, and more particularly to a cleaning solution for washing resins, which contains an ionic liquid and a base. [Background technology]

[0002] Synthetic fibers are formed into fibers by extruding a polymer solution through the nozzle of a spinneret. By extruding the polymer solution for a long period of time, resin, inorganic particles, etc. adhere to the nozzle of the spinneret, and dirt accumulates. A dirty spinneret leads to a decrease in spinning stability and fiber quality, so it is necessary to periodically replace the spinneret and spin pack, and to clean the spin pack and spinneret.

[0003] As such a cleaning method, JP-A-62-205122 (Patent Document 1) reports a method for cleaning a spinneret using an alkaline aqueous solution containing hypochlorite as a cleaning solution, but the cleaning ability is insufficient. In addition, the alkaline aqueous solution containing hypochlorite is a harmful substance and may pose a danger to workers.

[0004] In addition, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 3-213503 (Patent Document 2) reports a method for cleaning a spinneret using an oxidizing molten salt with a temperature of 260°C to 462°C as a cleaning solution, but this method has the problem of requiring a long cleaning time because it reacts with the resin.In addition, the cleaning solution is high temperature and uses harmful substances such as potassium hydroxide and potassium permanganate, which also poses a danger to workers.

[0005] In addition, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 62-206013 (Patent Document 3) reports a method for cleaning a spinneret using an organic solvent, dimethyl sulfoxide, and an alkali metal organic compound, an alkali metal hydride compound, etc., as a cleaning solution, but the cleaning ability was insufficient. In addition, the use of an alkali metal organic compound, an alkali metal hydride compound, etc., is a harmful substance, which also poses a danger to workers.

[0006] Furthermore, JP 2011-89217 A (Patent Document 4) and JP 2022-159304 A (Patent Document 5) report a method for cleaning a spinneret using an organic solvent such as DMAc or acetone as a cleaning solution, but the cleaning ability is also insufficient, and the cleaning ability is particularly low for some polymers such as cellulose and fully aromatic polyamide. In addition, since DMAc and acetone are highly toxic, there has been a demand for the development of a cleaning solution for resins that is highly cleanable and safer.

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 62-205122 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 3-213503 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-206013 [Patent Document 4] JP 2011-89217 A [Patent Document 5] JP 2022-159304 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[Means for solving the problem]

[0010] That is, according to the present invention, 1. A cleaning solution for washing a resin, comprising an ionic liquid and a base, the content of the ionic liquid in the entire cleaning solution being 1.00 to 99.99% by mass, and the content of the base in the cleaning solution being 0.01 to 50.00% by mass. And, 2. The resin cleaning solution according to the above item 1, wherein the anion of the ionic liquid is at least one anion selected from the group consisting of halides, hydroxides, alkoxides, carboxylates, carbonates, phosphates, phosphonates, sulfonates, sulfates, and nitrates. is provided.

If the content of the ionic liquid in the entire cleaning solution is less than 1.00% by mass, the cleaning ability of the cleaning solution will be poor. On the other hand, if the content of the ionic liquid in the entire cleaning solution is more than 99.99% by mass, the cleaning ability of the cleaning solution will also be poor.

[0031] <base> The base in the present invention is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include oxides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, hydroxides (hydroxides) of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, organometallic compounds (alkoxides) of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, amines, pyridines, pyrimidines, heterocyclic amines, and phosphorus compounds.

[0036] The content ratio of the inorganic salt and organic salt in the entire cleaning solution is preferably 10.00 mass % or less. If the content ratio of the inorganic salt and organic salt in the entire cleaning solution exceeds 10.00 mass %, the salt is likely to precipitate, and cleaning residues due to the salt are likely to remain, which is not preferable.

[0039] The content of the aprotic organic solvent in the entire cleaning solution is preferably 0.00 to 98.09% by mass, and more preferably 0.00 to 90.00% by mass. If the solvent content exceeds 98.09% by mass, the cleaning properties are reduced, which is not preferable.

[0040] <Protic Solvents> In the present invention, a protic solvent can be used as the cleaning liquid by adjusting the viscosity. The protic solvent in the present invention is a solvent that has a hydroxyl group and can act as a proton donor, and examples of such solvents include water, alcohols, amino acids, carboxylic acids, sulfonic acids, and sugars.

[0041] Examples of the solvent include, but are not limited to, water, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, tert-butyl alcohol, 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, 2-ethylhexanol, cyclohexanol, 1-octanol, 2-methoxyethanol, ethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, glycerin, diacetone alcohol, and glycerol 1,2-carbonate. , formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, 3-hydroxypropionic acid, butanoic acid, isobutyric acid, 3-hydroxybutanoic acid, caproic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, levulinic acid, glycolic acid, oxalic acid, methyl lactate, ethyl lactate, propyl lactate, isopropyl lactate, butyl lactate, isobutyl lactate, 2-ethylhexyl lactate, sugars such as diformylxylose, amino acids such as glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, methionine, tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, asparagine, cytosine, glutamine, serine, threonine, serine, maleimide, N-hydroxysuccinimide, etc.

If the solvent ratio exceeds 50.00 mass%, the cleaning ability decreases, which is not preferable. These aprotic organic solvents and protic solvents may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0044] In addition, protic solvents and aprotic organic solvents derived from animals and plants can also be used in the present invention. The protic solvents and aprotic organic solvents derived from animals and plants in the present invention refer to organic compounds synthesized from plant-derived raw materials (sugar / starch biomass, lignocellulosic biomass including cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, etc.) and natural products produced by animals, plants, and microorganisms. There is no difference in physical properties such as molecular weight and thermal properties (melting point, boiling point) between organic solvents derived from animals and plants and organic solvents derived from fossils. Therefore, the biomass degree is generally used to distinguish between them.

[0045] Biomass degree is the radioactive carbon ( 14 This is a measurement of the amount of carbon derived from biomass, using a carbon dioxide (C, half-life 5730 years) measurement. 14 N 14 C, which is converted to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. 14 Carbon dioxide is fixed in plants as carbohydrates during photosynthesis, so 14 On the other hand, fossil-derived petroleum contains the same amount of C. 14 Since carbon is substantially absent, carbon derived from plants can be distinguished from carbon derived from fossils.

[0050] <Deep eutectic solvent> The deep eutectic solvent in the present invention is a mixture in which one or more types of hydrogen bond donors and hydrogen bond acceptors are mixed in a certain ratio, causing a eutectic melting point depression and becoming liquid at room temperature. Examples of the compound include, but are not limited to, malic acid and alanine (molar ratio 1:1), malic acid and glycine (molar ratio 1:1), malic acid and proline (molar ratio 1:2), oxalic acid and histidine (molar ratio 9:1), oxalic acid and proline (molar ratio 1:1), urea and acetamide (molar ratio 1:2), ε-caprolactam and acetamide (molar ratio 1:1), urea and ε-caprolactam (molar ratio 1:3), urea and choline chloride (molar ratio 2:1), urea and choline bromide (molar ratio 2:1), urea and betaine hydrochloride (molar ratio 4:1), glycerin and choline chloride (molar ratio 2:1), thiourea and choline chloride (molar ratio 2:1), TMG and thiourea (molar ratio 2:1), DBN and thiourea (molar ratio 2:1), DBU and thiourea.

[0051] The content ratio of the deep eutectic solvent in the entire cleaning liquid is preferably 0.00 to 98.09 mass%, more preferably 0.00 to 90.00 mass%. If the solvent ratio exceeds 98.09 mass%, the cleaning ability decreases, which is not preferable.

[0052] <Cleaning method> In the present invention, the resin is washed using the above-mentioned washing solution, and the washing method includes immersion, stirring, circulation, shaking, ultrasonic washing, jet washing, bubbling washing, water washing, compressed air, drying, etc., and the above-mentioned steps may be carried out multiple times or repeatedly. In addition, heating and pressurization may be performed during washing.

[0053] The cleaning temperature is not particularly limited as long as it is within the range of the melting point, boiling point, or decomposition point of the ionic liquid used, but is preferably 0 to 200° C., and more preferably 25 to 150° C. If the cleaning temperature is lower than 0° C., the cleaning ability of the polymer residue is reduced, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the cleaning temperature exceeds 200° C., the operational risk increases and the handling becomes poor.

[0054] In the present invention, cleaning is preferably carried out in the following steps. (1) Immersing a nozzle or the like in the cleaning solution of the present invention (2) Ultrasonic cleaning of nozzles, etc. using the cleaning solution of the present invention (3) Rinse off any cleaning fluid adhering to the nozzles, etc. (4) Drying of nozzles, etc. EXAMPLES

[0055] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples and comparative examples, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following examples and comparative examples. In addition, each physical property in the examples was measured by the following methods.

[0056] [Washability] The spinning holes were observed using a stereomicroscope, and the degree of fouling was evaluated according to the following classification.

[0057] Category 2: No clogging or dirt on the spinneret Category 1: Spinner holes are dirty Category 0: Spinnerhole is blocked In the above evaluation, Class 2 was given 2 points, Class 1 was given 1 point, and Class 0 was given 0 points. The score of each spinning hole in the spinneret was multiplied by the number of spinning holes that gave that score to obtain a total score, and the cleanability was calculated using the following formula. Cleanability = [(2 points x number of holes in category 2) + (1 point x number of holes in category 1) + (0 point x number of holes in category 0)] / (total number of holes x 2) If the cleaning performance value is 0.95 or more, it can be said that sufficient cleaning is achieved.

[0058] <Comparative Example 1> A polymer solution containing 93.7% by mass of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as the solvent and 6.3% by mass of copolyparaphenylene-3,4'-oxydiphenylene-terephthalamide as the spinning dope was used. The spinneret, which had been used for 7 consecutive days of spinning (material: SUS316L, hole shape: circular, hole diameter: 0.2 mm, number of holes: 10), was cleaned using the following procedure.

[0059] The spinneret was washed by immersing it in 100% by mass NMP solvent for 8 hours at 90 ° C. The spinneret was then washed with water at 50 ° C., the water was removed with compressed air, and the spinneret was dried in a dryer at 120 ° C. The spinneret was observed using a stereo microscope to evaluate the cleanability, and the holes in the spinneret were clogged or many parts had dirt attached, indicating that the cleanability was insufficient.

[0060] <Comparative Example 2> The same procedure as in Comparative Example 1 was carried out, except that the cleaning method was changed from immersion to ultrasonic treatment (frequency 40 kHz, 65°C, 8 hr). As a result of observing the spinneret using a stereomicroscope, one of the holes in the spinneret was cleaned, but the others were clogged or had dirt attached thereto, and cleaning performance was insufficient.

[0061] <Comparative Example 3> The same procedure as in Comparative Example 1 was repeated, except that the cleaning liquid was changed to a 20% by mass aqueous solution of NaOH. When the spinneret was observed using a stereomicroscope, the holes in the spinneret were found to be clogged, and cleaning properties were insufficient.

[0062] <Comparative Example 4> The same procedure as in Comparative Example 2 was repeated, except that the cleaning liquid was changed to a 20% by mass aqueous solution of NaOH. When the spinneret was observed using a stereomicroscope, the holes in the spinneret were clogged or dirty, and cleaning properties were insufficient.

[0063] <Comparative Example 5> The same procedure as in Comparative Example 1 was carried out, except that the cleaning solution was changed to a cleaning solution containing 100 mass% of the ionic liquid [DBUH][OAc] by mixing diazabicycloundecene (DBU) which is a base and acetic acid (AcOH) which is an acid. When the spinneret was observed using a stereomicroscope, dirt was found to be attached to the holes of the spinneret, and cleaning properties were insufficient.

[0064] <Example 1> The same procedure as in Comparative Example 1 was carried out, except that the cleaning solution was changed to a mixture of diazabicycloundecene (DBU) as a base and acetic acid (AcOH) as an acid, containing 92% by mass of the ionic liquid [DBUH][OAc] and 8% by mass of the base DBU. Observation of the spinneret using a stereomicroscope revealed that the holes in the spinneret were cleanly cleaned, and the cleaning ability was sufficient.

[0065] <Example 2> The same procedure as in Example 1 was repeated, except that the cleaning liquid was changed to one containing 92 mass% of the ionic liquid [DBUH][OAc], 7 mass% of NaOH, and 1 mass% of water. When the spinneret was observed using a stereomicroscope, the holes in the spinneret were cleaned and the cleaning ability was sufficient.

[0066] <Example 3> The same procedure as in Example 1 was repeated, except that the cleaning method was changed from immersion to ultrasonic treatment (frequency 40 kHz, 65°C, 8 hr). When the spinneret was observed using a microscope, the holes in the spinneret were cleaned and the cleaning ability was sufficient.

[0067] <Example 4> In Example 1, the cleaning solution was ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([C 4 C 1 The same procedure as in Example 1 was carried out, except that the cleaning solution was changed to one containing 90 mass% of [IM][Cl]; manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) and 10 mass% of DBU. When the spinneret was observed using a microscope, the holes of the spinneret were thoroughly cleaned, and the cleaning ability was sufficient.

[0068] <Example 5> In Example 1, the cleaning solution was ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate ([C 4 C 1 The same procedure as in Example 1 was carried out, except that the cleaning solution was changed to one containing 90 mass% of [IM][OAc]; manufactured by Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) and 10 mass% of DBU. When the spinneret was observed using a microscope, the holes of the spinneret were thoroughly cleaned, and the cleaning ability was sufficient.

[0069] <Example 6> The same procedure as in Example 1 was repeated, except that the cleaning solution was changed to one containing 52 mass% of the ionic liquid [DBUH][OAc], 8 mass% of DBU, and 40 mass% of DMSO. When the spinneret was observed using a stereomicroscope, the holes in the spinneret were cleaned and the cleaning ability was sufficient.

[0070] <Example 7> The same procedure as in Example 1 was repeated, except that the cleaning solution was changed to one containing 52 mass% of the ionic liquid [DBUH][OAc], 8 mass% of DBU, and 40 mass% of NMP. Observation of the spinneret using a stereomicroscope revealed that the holes in the spinneret were cleaned and the cleaning properties were sufficient.
