Abstract
The present invention relates to compositions and methods employing a water soluble magnesium compound. In certain embodiments, the composition includes water and water soluble magnesium compound, but lacks other materials commonly used in cleaning compositions. The methods and compositions can provide magnesium ion at predefined ratios to calcium ion in water, such as magnesium ion in a molar amount equal to or in excess over a molar amount of calcium ion. A water soluble magnesium salt including an anion of a water soluble calcium salt is more effective than a magnesium salt with an anion of a water insoluble calcium salt. These compositions can be used for reducing lime scale or precipitate formation from hard water, removing soap scum, or the like.

- The present invention relates to compositions and methods employing a water soluble magnesium compound. The present invention is useful, among other things, in preparing a presoak or prewash agent, a cleaning composition, or a rinse agent particularly for hard surfaces. The invention also relates to methods of using such compositions to reduce lime sale, remove soap scum, reduce hard water spotting and the like. In certain embodiments, the composition includes water and water soluble magnesium compound, but lacks other materials commonly used in cleaning compositions. The methods and compositions can provide magnesium ion at predefined ratios to calcium ion in water, such as magnesium ion in a molar amount equal to or in excess over a molar amount of calcium ion. A water soluble magnesium salt including an anion of a water soluble calcium salt is more effective than a magnesium salt with an anion of a water insoluble calcium salt.
- The level of hardness in water can have undesirable effects in many systems. For example, when hard water is used in conjunction with cleaning compositions, hard water can cause precipitation of hard water scale or components of a cleaning agent. In general, hard water refers to water having a level of calcium and magnesium ions in excess of about 100 ppm expressed in units of ppm calcium carbonate.
- Conventional methods add ingredients to hard water to overcome the undesirable effects of hard water. Water softeners add sodium ion to replace calcium and magnesium ions in hard water. Conventional cleaning compositions include builders like chelating agents, sequestrants, or threshold agents to tie up calcium and magnesium ions in the hard water. A great deal of effort has gone into developing new and better builders. Over the decades, a great deal of effort has gone into making more and more complicated detergent formulations in an attempt to provide desired performance in hard water.
- It is unexpected that going in the opposite direction from the rest of the field to make a simpler composition could overcome the undesirable effects of hard water. Even more so, it is entirely unexpected that a simpler composition including added hardness ion would have a beneficial effect on lime scale or precipitate formation from hard water, removing soap scum, or the like.
- The present invention departs from generally held beliefs that complicated formulae are necessary to overcome the deleterious and undesirable effects associated with hard water. When cleaning or rinsing hard surfaces, the use of hard water often results in hard water spotting, filming, staining, or soap scum left on the surface. Hard water spotting, staining, filming, and scale are particularly apparent when washing dishes in an automatic warewashing machine, cleaning basins or countertops or other hard surfaces in a kitchen or bathroom, or when washing vehicles. The present invention includes simpler compositions that overcome the stated undesirable effects of hard water. The present invention comprises methods and compositions employing a water soluble magnesium salt to counter the undesirable effects of calcium ion in hard water. In fact, one embodiment of the present methods and compositions employ nothing more than water soluble magnesium salt and hard water to this end. The present compositions and methods can reduce or prevent the formation of lime scale along with other deleterious effects associated with the use of hard water for cleaning hard surfaces. The present invention may be used to prepare presoaks or prewashes, cleaning agents, or rinse agents. The present invention relates to compositions and methods employing a water soluble magnesium compound. In certain embodiments, the composition includes water and water soluble magnesium compound, but lacks other materials commonly used in cleaning compositions. The methods and compositions can provide magnesium ion at predefined ratios to calcium ion in water, such as magnesium ion in a molar amount equal to or in excess over a molar amount of calcium ion. The water soluble magnesium salt has an associated anion that can exchange with the carbonate associated with the calcium ion. It is preferred that the calcium anion product has the highest possible solubility, but is not required. These compositions can be used for reducing lime scale or precipitate formation from hard water, removing soap scum, or the like.
- In another embodiment, the present invention includes a method of cleaning an object. This method can also reduce hard water spotting, scaling, or deposits. The method can include contacting the object with an aqueous composition including water and a water soluble magnesium salt; and recovering the object with an acceptable amount of hard water spotting, scaling, or deposits. In this method, the aqueous composition during contacting can include magnesium ion in a molar amount equal to or in excess over a molar amount of calcium ion. In this method, it is preferred that the water soluble magnesium salt can include an anion that forms a water soluble salt with calcium.
- In another embodiment, the present invention includes a method of removing soap scum from an object. This method can include contacting the soap scum on the object with an aqueous composition of water and a water soluble magnesium salt; and removing soap scum from the object. In this method, the aqueous composition during contacting can include magnesium ion in a molar amount equal to or in excess over a molar amount of calcium ion. In this method, it is preferred that the water soluble magnesium salt can include an anion that, together with calcium ion, forms a water soluble calcium salt.
- In yet another embodiment, the present invention includes a method of preventing or reducing the deposit of soap scum on an object. This method can include contacting the object with an aqueous composition of water and a water soluble magnesium salt. In this method, the aqueous composition during contacting can include magnesium ion in a molar amount equal to or in excess over a molar amount of calcium ion. In this method, it is preferred that the water soluble magnesium salt can include an anion that, together with calcium ion, forms a water soluble calcium salt.
- In another embodiment, the present invention includes an aqueous composition of water and a water soluble magnesium salt. The present invention includes an aqueous composition consisting essentially of water and a water soluble magnesium salt. Upon dilution for use this composition can include magnesium ion in a molar amount equal to or in excess over the molar amount of calcium ion.

FIGS. 1-6 each have an x, y, and z axis. The x-axis is a measure of the molar ratio of calcium to builder, e.g., STPP, or water soluble magnesium compound. The y-axis is a measure of the level of light transmittance thru the samples with 0% being no light transmitted and 100% being the entire beam of light transmitted. Full or partial loss of transmittance occurs as a consequence of the presence of particulate formation in the initially clear samples. An effective builder prevents or reduces precipitation resulting in a clear sample. The z-axis is a measure of the test temperature, ranging from 20-60° C. -

FIG. 8 is a photograph of the interior of a dishwashing machines after it was run for 100 cycles using 17 grain hard water and with water soluble magnesium compound, magnesium sulfate, introduced as the sole rinse agent. The presence of magnesium sulfate as the sole rinse agent prevented the build-up of lime scale on metal. No builder or sheeting agent was needed to obtain this benefit. -
FIG. 9 is a photograph of six glasses. Glass “C” is a control using hard water alone as the rinse agent. The other glasses were rinsed using molar ratios of magnesium to calcium of 1:1, 1.5:1, 2:1, 2.5:1, or 3:1 and are labeled as such. These ratios are based on the total amount of magnesium present including that present in the incoming water. The results inFIG. 9 show that water soluble magnesium compound, magnesium sulfate, as the sole rinse agent reduced and prevented build-up of lime scale on glasses. Surprisingly, in this example, the 1:1 molar ratio of magnesium to calcium gave increased hard water scaling on glass, while the higher ratios gave reduced scaling compared to the control glass. -

Compositions prepared according to the invention are also useful in cleaning or treating medical or dental equipment or instruments and in washing linens. The present invention relates to compositions and methods employing a water soluble magnesium compound. The present inventors have discovered, unexpectedly, that a water soluble magnesium compound can be employed to, for example, reduce lime scale or precipitate formation from hard water, reduce formation of soap scum, remove soap scum, or the like. In certain embodiments, the composition includes and the method employs water and water soluble magnesium compound but lacks other materials commonly used in cleaning compositions. These compositions can be employed in any of a variety of situations in which water spotting or scaling are a problem, such as cleaning or rinsing a hard surface, such as tile, glass ware, other ware, and the like.
- The present inventors discovered that compositions of water soluble magnesium salt that provide magnesium ion at predefined ratios to calcium ion in water, such as magnesium ion in a molar amount equal to or in excess over a molar amount of calcium ion, advantageously reduce lime scale or precipitate formation from hard water, remove soap scum, or the like. For example, magnesium ion and calcium ion can be in a molar ratio of 1:1 or the composition can include a greater amount of magnesium ion. In a more preferred embodiment, magnesium ion and calcium ion can be in a molar ratio of about 1.5:1 up to about 3:1. Further, the present inventors discovered that a compositions of water soluble magnesium salt including an anion of a water soluble calcium salt are more effective than a magnesium salt with an anion of a water insoluble calcium salt. These compositions can be used for reducing lime scale or precipitate formation from hard water, removing soap scum, or the like.
- Surprisingly, water containing a water soluble magnesium salt can have beneficial effects in reducing certain deleterious effects of hard water. In fact, a composition of only water soluble magnesium salt in hard water can have these beneficial effects. It was unexpectedly discovered that a water soluble magnesium salt worked as well as a conventional chelating agent or sequestrant (sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP)) at preventing precipitation of calcium salts. Also unexpectedly, a composition of only water soluble magnesium salt in hard water reduced formation of lime scale from hard water. Further, unexpectedly, rinse water containing only a water soluble magnesium salt reduced formation of lime scale from hard water on glasses after warewashing, and on the portions of the dishwasher that contact water. Surprisingly, a composition comprising only water soluble magnesium salt in hard water removed soap scum from a tile. These benefits can be achieved employing a composition including magnesium ion in a molar amount equal to or in excess over a molar amount of calcium ion. These benefits can be achieved at a lower concentration of water soluble magnesium salt using a water soluble magnesium salt including an anion of a water soluble calcium salt are more effective than a magnesium salt with an anion of a water insoluble calcium salt.
- As described above, these beneficial effects can be achieved by a composition including water and water soluble magnesium compound, but lacking other materials commonly used in cleaning compositions. That is, in certain embodiments, a composition of only water and water soluble magnesium compound can exhibit such beneficial effects. The composition can include magnesium ion in a molar amount equal to or in excess over a molar amount of calcium ion.

-
Rating Spots Film 1 Substantially No spotting No film 1.5 ⅛ surface spotted No film to barely perceptible 2 ¼ surface spotted Trace/barely perceptible 3 ½ surface spotted Slight film 4 ¾ surface spotted Moderate film 5 Entire surface spotted Heavy film
As used herein, an acceptable amount of hard water spotting, scaling, or deposits refers to surfaces rated a 1, 1.5 or 2 in the provided grid. In other words, surfaces having as much as one quarter of the surface spotted and/or only a barely perceptible film present are deemed acceptable. In other embodiments, surfaces having less than one quarter of the surface containing spots are deemed acceptable. In yet other embodiments, surfaces have up to about ⅛ of the surface containing spotting is deemed acceptable and in other embodiments the surface is substantially free of spotting. - During contacting, the aqueous composition can include magnesium ion in a molar amount equal to or in excess over the molar amount of calcium ion. In one embodiment, the aqueous composition during contacting includes magnesium ion at a wt-% greater than or equal to one half times the wt-% of calcium ion. In another embodiment, the water soluble magnesium salt comprises an anion that forms an insoluble or sparingly soluble calcium salt and the aqueous composition during contacting includes magnesium ion in a molar amount equal to or greater than two-times the molar amount of calcium ion.
- One skilled in the art will appreciate that the higher the solubility of the calcium salt formed from the anion from the soluble magnesium compound, the lower the ratio of magnesium to calcium need be. In other words, if the calcium salt that forms is highly soluble, the ratio of magnesium to calcium concentration will approach 1:1 whereas, if the resultant calcium salt is low in solubility, the ratio of magnesium to calcium will need to be higher than 1:1.
- In one embodiment of the present invention the aqueous composition consists essentially of water and a water soluble magnesium salt.

In certain embodiments, the ratio of water soluble to water insoluble magnesium compound can be about 1:10 to about 10:1, about 1:5 to about 5:1, or about 1:3 to about 3:1.
- In certain embodiments, the composition can also include antimicrobial agent, viscosity modifier (cellulosic polymers, guar derivatives and gums, etc.), aesthetic enhancing agent (i.e., dye, odorant, perfume, fragrance), lubricant composition, dispersant, preservative, or thickener. Such ingredients are known and are described in, for example, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0139310 and/or No. 20060113506, which are incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
- The composition can lack an effective amount or be substantially free of, for example, additional functional components or ingredients such as chelating agent, sequestrant, builder, threshold agent, surfactant, and sheeting agent.
- The present composition can be substantially free of added sequestrant or chelating agent or, even, free of added sequestrant or chelating agent. In an embodiment, the present cleaning composition is substantially free or free of added sequestrant or chelating agent. Chelating agents or sequestrants include phosphonates, phosphates, aminocarboxylates, polycarboxylates, and the like.
- In a preferred embodiment, the present composition does not include and the present method does not employ a surfactant or surfactant system. Excluded surfactants include anionic, nonionic, cationic, and zwitterionic surfactants, which are commercially available from a number of sources.
- In another embodiment, the present composition does not include and the present method does not employ a wetting or sheeting agent. A wetting or sheeting agent is typically a water soluble or dispersible low foaming organic material capable of reducing the surface tension of the rinse water to promote sheeting action and to prevent spotting or streaking caused by beaded water after rinsing is completed.
- The present compositions include concentrate compositions and use compositions. For example, a concentrate composition can be diluted, for example with water, to form a use composition. In an embodiment, a concentrate composition can be diluted to a use solution before application to an object. For reasons of economics, the concentrate can be marketed and an end user can dilute the concentrate with water or an aqueous diluent to a use solution. The level of active components in the concentrate composition is dependent on the intended dilution factor and the desired concentration of water soluble magnesium salt.
- Generally, a dilution of about 1 fluid ounce to about 20 gallons of water to about 5 fluid ounces to about 1 gallon of water is used for aqueous cleaning compositions. In the typical use locus, the concentrate is diluted with a major proportion of water using commonly available tap or service water mixing the materials at a dilution ratio of about 3 to about 20 ounces of concentrate per 100 gallons of water. A use solution may be prepared from the concentrate by diluting the concentrate with water at a dilution ratio that provides a use solution having desired properties. In an exemplary embodiment, the concentrate may be diluted at a weight ratio of diluent to concentrate of at least about 20:1 or about 20:1 to about 2000:1.
- The concentrate may be diluted with water at the location of use to provide the use solution. When the detergent composition is used in an automatic warewashing or dishwashing machine, it is expected that that the location of use will be inside the automatic warewashing machine.
- The present invention also relates to solid cleaning compositions including a water soluble magnesium compound. For example, the present invention includes a cast solid block of magnesium chloride. By way of further example, the present invention includes a pressed solid block or puck including water soluble magnesium compound and magnesium carbonate.
- According to the present invention, a solid cleaning composition of a water soluble magnesium compound (e.g. magnesium chloride) can be prepared by a method including: providing a powder or crystalline form of a water soluble magnesium compound (e.g. magnesium chloride); melting the powder or crystalline form of the water soluble magnesium compound; transferring the molten water soluble magnesium compound into a mold; and cooling the molten salt to solidify it. For example, a solid block of magnesium chloride was made by heating magnesium chloride hexahydrate to its melting point of about 118° C. The molten salt was then transferred to a plastic container to afford a hard solid upon cooling to ambient temperature. For forming a cast solid from magnesium chloride, the presence of water of hydration (and additional water if desired) affords a reduced melting point compared to the anhydrous salt, allowing the temperature of the process to be reduced to a practical level.
- According to the present invention, a solid cleaning composition of a water soluble magnesium compound (e.g. magnesium carbonate) can be prepared by a method including: providing a powder or crystalline form of a water soluble magnesium compound (e.g. magnesium carbonate); gently pressing the water soluble magnesium compound to form a solid (e.g., block or puck). A solid block was made by compressing about 50 grams of magnesium carbonate monohydrate for about 20 seconds at about 1000 psi.
- A solid (e.g., block or puck, pressed or cast) form of a water soluble magnesium compound can be used, for example, for treating of potable water, for treating a facility or home's overall water system, or for treating water fed into a mechanical device such as a dishwasher, or car wash. The method can include, for example, contacting the solid form of a water soluble magnesium compound with water in need of treatment; and using the water for cleaning. The magnesium ions can reduce undesirable precipitation of calcium salts. The magnesium can thus continuously treat water as the solid composition dissolves.
- A solid cleaning or rinsing composition as used in the present disclosure encompasses a variety of forms including, for example, solids, pellets, blocks, and tablets, but not powders. It should be understood that the term “solid” refers to the state of the detergent composition under the expected conditions of storage and use of the solid cleaning composition. In general, it is expected that the detergent composition will remain a solid when provided at a temperature of up to about 100° F. or greater than 120° F.
- In certain embodiments, the solid cleaning composition is provided in the form of a unit dose. A unit dose refers to a solid cleaning composition unit sized so that the entire unit is used during a single washing cycle. When the solid cleaning composition is provided as a unit dose, it can have a mass of about 1 g to about 50 g. In other embodiments, the composition can be a solid, a pellet, or a tablet having a size of about 50 g to 250 g, of about 100 g or greater, or about 40 g to about 11,000 g.
- In other embodiments, the solid cleaning composition is provided in the form of a multiple-use solid, such as, a block or a plurality of pellets, and can be repeatedly used to generate aqueous detergent compositions for multiple washing cycles. In certain embodiments, the solid cleaning composition is provided as a solid having a mass of about 5 g to 10 kg. In certain embodiments, a multiple-use form of the solid cleaning composition has a mass of about 1 to 10 kg. In further embodiments, a multiple-use form of the solid cleaning composition has a mass of about 5 kg to about 8 kg. In other embodiments, a multiple-use form of the solid cleaning composition has a mass of about 5 g to about 1 kg, or about 5 g and to 500 g.
- In some embodiments, the solid composition can be packaged. The packaging receptacle or container may be rigid or flexible, and composed of any material suitable for containing the compositions produced according to the invention, as for example glass, metal, plastic film or sheet, cardboard, cardboard composites, paper, and the like.
- Advantageously, since the composition is processed at or near ambient temperatures, the temperature of the processed mixture is low enough so that the mixture may be formed directly in the container or other packaging system without structurally damaging the material. As a result, a wider variety of materials may be used to manufacture the container than those used for compositions that processed and dispensed under molten conditions.
- Suitable packaging used to contain the compositions is manufactured from a flexible, easy opening film material.
- The solid cleaning composition according to the present invention can be dispensed in any suitable method generally known. The cleaning or rinsing composition can be dispensed from a spray-type dispenser such as that disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,826,661, 4,690,305, 4,687,121, 4,426,362 and in U.S. Pat. Nos. Re 32,763 and 32,818, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein for all purposes. Briefly, a spray-type dispenser functions by impinging a water spray upon an exposed surface of the solid composition to dissolve a portion of the composition, and then immediately directing the concentrate solution including the composition out of the dispenser to a storage reservoir or directly to a point of use. When used, the product is removed from the package (e.g.) film and is inserted into the dispenser. The spray of water can be made by a nozzle in a shape that conforms to the solid shape. The dispenser enclosure can also closely fit the detergent shape in a dispensing system that prevents the introduction and dispensing of an incorrect detergent. The aqueous concentrate is generally directed to a use locus.
- In an embodiment, the present composition can be dispensed by immersing either intermittently or continuously in water. The composition can then dissolve, for example, at a controlled or predetermined rate. The rate can be effective to maintain a concentration of dissolved cleaning agent that is effective for cleaning.
- In an embodiment, the present composition can be dispensed by scraping solid from the solid composition and contacting the scrapings with water. The scrapings can be added to water to provide a concentration of dissolved cleaning agent that is effective for cleaning.
- The present invention can be better understood with reference to the following examples. These examples are intended to be representative of specific embodiments of the invention, and are not intended as limiting the scope of the invention.
- This Example demonstrates that adding a hardness ion (Mg2+) to water worked as well as a conventional chelating agent or sequestrant (sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP)) at preventing precipitation of calcium salts.
- Formation of a precipitate in water reduces the transmission of visible light through the water. A transmittance of 100% indicates that no precipitate formed, while a transmittance of 0% indicates that so much precipitate formed that light no longer passed through the sample. Transmittance was measured for water containing either MgCl2 (present invention) or STPP (comparative example) at pH values of about 8, about 10, and about 12, and at temperatures of about 20° C., about 45° C., and about 70° C. Temperatures were chosen in an attempt to reflect room temperature (20° C.), general laundry temperature (45° C.) and general automatic warewashing temperature (70° C.). The results are reported in
FIGS. 1-6 and the Tables below. - The data obtained is shown in
FIGS. 1-6 and the corresponding Tables below. - The graphs in
FIGS. 1-6 , which each have an x, y, and z axis. The x-axis is a measure of the molar ratio of calcium to builder, e.g., STPP or water soluble magnesium compound. The y-axis is a measure of the level of light transmittance thru the samples with 0% being no light transmitted and 1100% being the entire beam of light transmitted. Full or partial loss of transmittance occurs as a consequence of the presence of particulate formation in the initially clear samples. An effective builder prevents or reduces precipitation resulting in a clear sample. The z-axis is a measure of the test temperature, ranging from 20-60° C. -
FIG. 1 is illustrative of a comparative example.FIG. 1 is a plot of the performance of STPP as a builder in the presence of various levels of calcium, at various temperatures, and at a constant pH of 8 and illustrating the impact of Ca/builder ratio and temperature on the building performance of STPP. Data forFIG. 1 is provided in the table below. Generally, the plot ofFIG. 1 shows that STPP is a good chelating agent and as expected as the concentration of calcium ions increases and as the temperature increases, STPP has decreasing effectiveness in chelating calcium ions as reflected in the reduction in the transmittance of the samples. -

Data forFIG. 2 is provided in the table below. This graph shows that a water soluble salt of magnesium (e.g., magnesium chloride) was unexpectedly capable of controlling the precipitation of water hardness even at a neutral pH. Generally, the plot ofFIG. 2 shows that magnesium chloride is a good chelating agent and as the concentration of calcium ions increases and as the temperature increases, magnesium chloride has decreasing effectiveness in chelating calcium ions as reflected in the reduction in the transmittance of the samples. The results shown inFIG. 2 are surprisingly consistent with that shown in the comparativeFIG. 1 . -

FIG. 3 is a plot illustrative of a comparative example.FIG. 3 shows the performance of STPP as a builder in the presence of various levels of calcium, at various temperatures, and at a constant pH of 10. Data forFIG. 3 is provided in the table below. A comparison of this graph with the results obtained at pH 8 (FIG. 1 ) shows that the increased alkalinity gives reduced building performance at elevated temperatures, particularly around 60° C. -

Data forFIG. 4 is provided in the table below. This graph shows that a water soluble salt of magnesium (e.g., magnesium chloride) was unexpectedly capable of controlling the precipitation of water hardness even at a basic pH. The increased alkalinity did not significantly affect the degree of calcium precipitation compared to pH 8 (FIG. 2 ). This is unexpected. -

Data forFIG. 5 is provided in the table below. This graph shows that STPP has quit working to control calcium precipitation at molar ratios of 4 Ca/STPP and higher with light transmittance dropping down to about 20%. Once again elevated temperatures make the STPP system more sensitive to water hardness. -

FIGS. 1-6 , magnesium chloride matched or exceeded the ability of STPP to soften water under most conditions. By matched or exceeded the ability we mean that the magnesium chloride reduced lime scale (as reflected by percent transmittance) to a level comparable to or lower than that achieved with STPP, e.g., for most molar ratios of calcium and builder. In particular, the performance of magnesium chloride at pH values of 8 and 10 exceeded the performance of STPP at all temperature values. - At a pH value of 12, magnesium chloride started at about 80% transmittance, but had a lower slope compared to STPP. The lower slope indicates better control of water hardness precipitation as the ratio of calcium/builder increased.
- This Example demonstrates that adding a hardness ion (Mg2+) to water reduced formation of lime scale from hard water.
- Tap water with 17 grain hardness and a 2:1 Ca:Mg weight ratio was spiked with various levels of magnesium chloride and then incubated in glass bottles in a 140° F. oven for about two weeks. The bottles were then visually evaluated for lime scale build-up.
- The results are presented in the table below.
-
Scale on Magnesium Chloride Added (wt-%) Bottle 0 present 0.007 present 0.067 present 0.48 none 2.4 none 7.2 none 14 none - The data clearly shows the benefit of adding water soluble magnesium salt to the tap water. In particular, when 0.48 wt-% or more of magnesium chloride was added, no lime scale build-up was observed on the surface of the glass bottle. By contrast, when either no magnesium was present, or when less magnesium chloride was added, lime scale build-up was observed on the surface of the glass bottle.
- This Example demonstrates that, injecting only a hardness ion (Mg2+) into rinse water reduced formation of lime scale from hard water on a dishwasher.
- A dishwashing machine was run for 100 cycles using 17 grain hard water for the wash and rinse cycles with no added rinse agent. A dishwashing machine was run for 100 cycles using 17 grain hard water and with water soluble magnesium compound, magnesium sulfate, introduced as the sole rinse agent. The magnesium sulfate was introduced at a molar ratio of magnesium ion to calcium ion of 1:1. No detergent was used in any of the wash cycles.
-
FIGS. 7 and 8 are photographs of interiors of dishwashing machines after 100 cycles run using 17 grain hard water only or using 17 grain hard water and with water soluble magnesium compound, magnesium sulfate, introduced as the sole rinse agent. - The presence of water soluble magnesium salt, magnesium sulfate, as the sole rinse agent prevented the build-up of hard water lime scale on metal as shown in
FIG. 8 . FIG. 8 shows the interior of an automatic dishwashing machine with substantially no lime scale. In fact, the interior ofFIG. 8 is shiny and appears as would the interior of a new automatic dishwashing machine.FIG. 7 shows appreciable hard water lime scale on the interior of the machine. The lime scale is dull and the dishwasher appears as if a white powder was dusted on the interior surfaces. No builder or sheeting agent was needed to obtain this benefit. - This Example demonstrates that rinsing glasses with hard water containing only added hardness ion (Mg2+) reduced formation of lime scale from hard water on glasses when magnesium ion was in excess over calcium ion.
- A glass was run though a dishwashing machine for 100 cycles using 17 grain hard water for the wash and rinse cycles with no added rinse agent. Other glasses were run though a dishwashing machine for 100 cycles using 17 grain hard water in a dishwashing machine with water soluble magnesium compound, magnesium sulfate, introduced as the sole rinse agent. In separate series of 100 cycles, the magnesium sulfate was introduced at varying concentrations to provide molar ratios of magnesium ion to calcium ion of 1:1, 1.5:1, 2:1, 2.5:1, and 3:1. No detergent was used in any of the wash cycles.
- The results in
FIG. 9 show that water soluble magnesium compound, magnesium sulfate, as the sole rinse agent reduced and prevented build-up of hard water scale on glassware. InFIG. 9 , glass “C” is a control using hard water alone as the rinse agent. The other glasses were rinsed using various molar ratios of magnesium to calcium ranging from 1-3 moles magnesium ion to calcium ion. - These ratios are based on the total amount of magnesium present including that present in the incoming water. Glass “C” in
FIG. 9 is clouded in appearance. It looks as though it is frosted or has been etched with an etchant. Glass 1:1 is even cloudier or more frosted than the control glass. Glasses 1.5:1 up to glass 3:1 are increasingly clearer in appearance than the previous glass (lower ratio) until the 3:1 glass has substantially no filming, spotting, cloudiness, or etched appearance. Unlike the deposits on the metal of the dishwasher, rinsing glasses with a 1:1 ratio of magnesium to calcium increased precipitation of hard water scale relative to the control. However, a 1.5:1 ratio and higher gave significant improvement up to a glass free of lime scale at a ratio of 3:1. - This Example shows a water soluble magnesium salt (MgCl2) providing an anion that forms a water soluble calcium salt reduced formation of lime scale from hard water at lower ratios of Mg2+ to Ca2+ than a magnesium salt (MgSO4) providing an anion of a water insoluble calcium salt.
- A first glass and a second glass were run though a dishwashing machine for 100 cycles using 17 grain hard water in a dishwashing machine with water soluble magnesium compound, magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate, introduced as the sole rinse agent. The water soluble magnesium compounds were introduced at molar ratios of magnesium ion to calcium ion of 1:1. No detergent was used in any of the wash cycles.
- The results in
FIG. 10 compare glasses rinsed with two sources of water soluble magnesium compound as the source of the added magnesium ion. Magnesium chloride and calcium chloride are both soluble. However, magnesium sulfate is soluble but calcium sulfate is only slightly soluble. -
Compound Water Solubility (20° C.) magnesium chloride 54.6 magnesium sulfate 33.7 calcium chloride 42.0 calcium sulfate 0.2
Interestingly, magnesium chloride effectively reduced formation of lime scale from hard water at a lower concentration than magnesium sulfate. - A magnesium compound such as magnesium chloride where the analogous calcium salt is water soluble was found to be more effective in preventing hard water scale than one where the analogous calcium salt is water insoluble.
FIG. 10 illustrates this at a 1:1 molar ratio of total magnesium ion to calcium ion for both salts. The glass on the left, treated with a 1:1 molar ratio of MgCl26H2O is substantially clear whereas the glass on the right, treated with a 1:1 molar ratio of MgSO47H2O is completely cloudy. The MgSO4 treated glass (right) appears as if it has been dusted completely with an adherent powder. - Surprisingly, rinsing a tile with hard water containing only added hardness ion (Mg2+) removed soap scum from the tile.
- A dilute mixture of coconut soap, hard water, and calcium carbonate was placed on a black ceramic tile and allowed to air dry. This was repeated five times, producing a heavily soiled tile. A first section of the soiled tile was immersed in unheated 17 grain hard water for about 1 minute. A second section of the soiled tile was immersed in unheated 17 grain hard water spiked with about 400 ppm of magnesium chloride. The middle section of the tile was not soaked after soiling.
- The portion of the tile that was immersed in hard water without magnesium ion showed considerable soap scum. The portion of the tile immersed in hard water containing 400 ppm magnesium chloride showed significantly less soap scum compared to the portions of the tile that were immersed only in hard water or untreated. The water containing water soluble magnesium compound without a builder or surfactant effectively removed soap scum.
- The magnesium chloride was added to obtain a weight ratio of magnesium ion to calcium ion of 2:1 in the composition of water soluble magnesium ion. Surprisingly, a composition of a water soluble magnesium salt including magnesium ion in excess of calcium ion, will not only reduce or prevent formation of lime scale from hard water, but it will also remove soap scum.
- This Example demonstrates that washing a window with conventional glass cleaner formulation spiked with Mg2+ cleaned the window better than the conventional glass cleaner without the additional hardness ion.
- One side of a window was washed with a commercially available glass cleaner. The other side was washed with the same commercially available glass cleaner containing 200 ppm water soluble magnesium salt, e.g., magnesium chloride.
- The left half of the window was cleaned with conventional glass cleaner with 200 ppm magnesium chloride. The right half of the window was cleaned with the same conventional glass cleaner without the addition of magnesium chloride. Streaking on the glass was greatly reduced with the addition of water soluble magnesium salt to the formula. Surprisingly, the composition of glass cleaner and water soluble magnesium salt cleaned the glass better than the glass cleaner alone.
- Surprisingly, soaking a rusty object in water containing only added hardness ion (Mg2+) removed rust from the object.
- Pieces of rusty steel were placed in two beakers. One beaker contained 400 ppm magnesium chloride in 17 grain water. The other contained 17 grain water. After a couple of hours on the bench top, the pieces of steel were removed.
- The water in the beaker containing rusty steel in 400 ppm magnesium chloride in 17 grain water was rust colored. After soaking, the hard water contained some small pieces of rust, but was generally. The hard water did not dissolve rust. The water spiked with water soluble magnesium salt dissolved rust.
- This Example illustrates that water soluble magnesium compound (e.g., magnesium chloride) was found to protect a surface from hard water.
- The contact angle of deionized water on ceramic tiles was studied. The tiles were first rinsed with a 1000 ppm solution of either magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate and then wiped dry. The contact angle of deionized water on the tiles was measured and the tiles then rinsed with 17 grain hard water, wiped dry, and the contact angle of deionized water measured again.

Water Contact Angle before hard after hard water rinse water rinse ratio after/before untreated 37 48 1.3 MgCl2 21 28 1.3 MgSO4 11 24 2.2 - It was hypothesized that the benefits of water soluble magnesium compounds might be a consequence of not only the water solubility of the potential calcium salts which could form in solution but also the interaction of the magnesium compound with calcium containing substrates such as glass and ceramic. To test this hypothesis, the contact angle of deionized water on ceramic tiles was studied. Improved protection of a calcium-containing substrate was indicated by reduced effect of a hard water rinse on the contact angle of water on the substrate. In other words, a lower ratio of the contact angle of water before and after hard water rinsing of the substrate correlates to improved protection of the substrate from hard water. The data demonstrates that magnesium chloride provided superior protection to a calcium-containing substrate such as a ceramic tile compared to magnesium sulfate.
- Magnesium chloride was prepared as a cast solid block. Magnesium carbonate was prepared as a pressed solid.
- Solids can be prepared from powders or crystalline materials by melting and then transferring the molten material into a mold for solidification upon cooling. A solid block of magnesium chloride was made by heating magnesium chloride hexahydrate to its melting point of about 118° C. The molten salt was then transferred to a plastic container to afford a hard solid upon cooling to ambient temperature.
- A solid block was made by compressing about 50 grams of magnesium carbonate monohydrate for about 20 seconds at about 1000 psi.
- Although magnesium carbonate is water insoluble, a pressed block could also be made including both magnesium carbonate and a water soluble magnesium salt, such as magnesium chloride.
- A pressed or cast solid of a water soluble magnesium compound can be used, for example, for the treatment of potable water, for the treatment of a facility or home's overall water system, or for the treatment of water feed into a mechanical device such as a dishwasher, clothes washer, or car wash. By adding magnesium compound to the solid composition, when the composition is diluted to a use solution, the magnesium ions can reduce undesirable precipitation of calcium salts. The magnesium can thus continually treat the equipment as the solid composition dissolves.
- Magnesium chloride and magnesium sulfate meet the FDA's GRAS requirements and are approved as an unrestricted direct food additive. Not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that, in the pressed solid of magnesium carbonate, the water of hydration can be a binding agent in the block. For forming a cast solid from magnesium chloride, the presence of water of hydration (and additional water if desired) affords a reduced melting point compared to the anhydrous salt, allowing the temperature of the process to be reduced to a practical level.
