Definitions
- a detergent composition comprising a water-soluble organic synthetic detergent, and as a detergency aid, a sequestering agent which is a water-soluble salt of a polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic acid compound having the formula wherein at least two Rs are different functional groups of the type described.
- Metal sequestering agents are frequently used as additives in detergent compositions of all types including household detergent compositions, e.g., laundry detergents and industrial compositions, e.g., hard-surface cleaning products. It is known, for instance, that when soaps are used in hard water, insoluble calcium and magnesium soaps are formed which detract considerably from the detergency objectives.
- non-soap synthetic detergents are also adversely effected by the presence of hardness minerals, such as alkaline earth metals.
- Condensed polyphosphates such as sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium pyrophosphate and nitrogen-containing compounds'such as sodium nitrilotriacetate are common examples of known sequestering agents useful as ingredients in detergent compositions.
- sequestering agents such as sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium pyrophosphate and nitrogen-containing compounds'such as sodium nitrilotriacetate are common examples of known sequestering agents useful as ingredients in detergent compositions.
- such additives are referred to as builders.
- the enhanced cleaning is due to decreased adsorption of detergents and allied materials on the fabrics being washed or treated.
- the phosphorus-content and nitrogen-content of such compositions may have adverse environmental effects, such as accelerated eutrophication of lakes and streams.
- Eutrophication is a natural process which is vital to sustaining the life of any body of water by enabling plant organisms to grow in the water and thus provide food for fish.
- a primary object of the present invention is to pro vide phosphateand nitrate-free detergent compositions which are effective in water solutions over a wide range of concentrations and pHs inasmuch as the conditions under which laundry is done vary widely with the individual and the locality. Another object is to provide improved heavy-duty laundry detergent compositions containing, as builders, sequestering agents selected from the novel classes of compounds described herein.
- An improved detergent composition comprises a water-soluble organic synthetic detergent and, as a detergency aid, a sequestering agent which is a water-soluble salt of a polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic acid compound having the formula wherein each R represents --CH CH wherein X represents halogen;
- R represents SO H
- hydrogen, the lower alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, isobutyl, and the halogens and halogenated-alkyl groups are non-functional substituents.
- the amount of sequestering agent required to aid in the detergency varies widely depending on many circum stances including the specific sequesterants properties, the detergent employed, the hardness content of the Water, the oil load and the nature of the substrate being washed or treated, and the like.
- an effective or sufiicient amount is used, and this implies that a sulficient amount of sequesterant is used to render the water suitable for its intended purpose. This may be judged by various means, such as soap titration, observation of the clarity of the solution, or by a practical trial of the softened water for its intended purpose. A complete softening, although sometimes desirable, is in many cases not necessary.
- the proportion by weight of the detergent to the sequestering agent is in the range of 20:1 to 1:20 and preferably :1 to 1:10. Within these ranges, compositions are represented which are lightly built or heavily built depending on the amount of sequestrant builder used.
- compositions of this invention are effective over the broad pH range of about 6 to 12, but optimum cleaning results are achieved with ordinary alkaline detergents in the range of 8 to 12 and preferably 9 to 11.
- the compositions can be formulated to provide a desired pH in the ranges by proper selection of appropriates salts.
- preferred water-soluble salts for both the detergent and sequestering agent are alkali metal salts such as sodium, potassium, lithium and ammonium or alkylsubstituted ammonium, e.g. triethanol ammonium.
- Sodium and potassium are preferred water-soluble cations.
- the salts are partially or fully neutralized.
- the detergent compositions can be prepared as solid (granular, tablet, powder) or liquid (aqueous or nonaqueous-based) physical forms.
- Any water-soluble organic synthetic detergent can be used in conjunction with the novel class of sequestering builder agents of this invention and have its detergency properties improved.

- Resin acids are suitable such as resin and those resin acids in tall oil. Naphthenic acids are also suitable.
- Sodium and potassium soaps can be made by direct saponification of the fats and oils or by the neutralization of the free fatty acids which are prepared in a separate manufacturing process.

Description
United States Patent Ofice 3,812,044 Patented May 21, 1974 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A detergent composition is provided comprising a water-soluble organic synthetic detergent, and as a detergency aid, a sequestering agent which is a water-soluble salt of a polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic acid compound having the formula wherein at least two Rs are different functional groups of the type described.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Metal sequestering agents are frequently used as additives in detergent compositions of all types including household detergent compositions, e.g., laundry detergents and industrial compositions, e.g., hard-surface cleaning products. It is known, for instance, that when soaps are used in hard water, insoluble calcium and magnesium soaps are formed which detract considerably from the detergency objectives.
The surface-active and foaming properties of non-soap synthetic detergents are also adversely effected by the presence of hardness minerals, such as alkaline earth metals.
The precipitation of soap and inactivation of synthetic detergents by hardness constituents of water, especially calcuim and magnesium, is a cause of considerable wastefulness in the use of such detergent ingredients. Detergent ingredients thus reacted and rendered ineffective are not available to contribute their detergency properties.
Condensed polyphosphates such as sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium pyrophosphate and nitrogen-containing compounds'such as sodium nitrilotriacetate are common examples of known sequestering agents useful as ingredients in detergent compositions. As a consequence of the contribution by sequestering agents to overall improved cleaning results, such additives are referred to as builders. In one respect, the enhanced cleaning is due to decreased adsorption of detergents and allied materials on the fabrics being washed or treated.
The phosphorus-content and nitrogen-content of such compositions may have adverse environmental effects, such as accelerated eutrophication of lakes and streams.
Eutrophication is a natural process which is vital to sustaining the life of any body of water by enabling plant organisms to grow in the water and thus provide food for fish.
Accelerated" or excessive eutrophication, however, is of timely concern. Too much plant life in lakes tergent compositions are two such nutrients. These materials, however, by themselves do not cause excessive eutrophication. Other nutrients such as carbon must also be present. A combination of nutrients stimulates the growth of plant life in lakes and streams.
A primary object of the present invention is to pro vide phosphateand nitrate-free detergent compositions which are effective in water solutions over a wide range of concentrations and pHs inasmuch as the conditions under which laundry is done vary widely with the individual and the locality. Another object is to provide improved heavy-duty laundry detergent compositions containing, as builders, sequestering agents selected from the novel classes of compounds described herein.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION An improved detergent composition, according to the present invention, comprises a water-soluble organic synthetic detergent and, as a detergency aid, a sequestering agent which is a water-soluble salt of a polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic acid compound having the formula wherein each R represents --CH CH wherein X represents halogen;
wherein R represents SO H,
and wherein at least two R substituents on the aromatic nucleus are different functional groups.

The process by which these sequestering agents can be prepared form no part of this invention. The discovery upon which the present invention is based is the discovery that sequestering agents coming within the class defined above and the specific examples given are effective sequestering agents which, when used in conjunction with watersoluble organic synthetic detergents, serve to significantly enhance the cleaning action of such detergents.
Of the sequestering agents described herein optimum detergency building action is achieved with those in which the functional groups are positioned near each other as illustrated for example when functional groups are attached to adjacent carbon atoms on the aromatic nucleus.
For purposes of this invention and with reference specifically to the R substituents noted above, hydrogen, the lower alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, isobutyl, and the halogens and halogenated-alkyl groups are non-functional substituents.
The amount of sequestering agent required to aid in the detergency varies widely depending on many circum stances including the specific sequesterants properties, the detergent employed, the hardness content of the Water, the oil load and the nature of the substrate being washed or treated, and the like. In any event, an effective or sufiicient amount is used, and this implies that a sulficient amount of sequesterant is used to render the water suitable for its intended purpose. This may be judged by various means, such as soap titration, observation of the clarity of the solution, or by a practical trial of the softened water for its intended purpose. A complete softening, although sometimes desirable, is in many cases not necessary.
In preparing built laundry detergent compositions, the proportion by weight of the detergent to the sequestering agent is in the range of 20:1 to 1:20 and preferably :1 to 1:10. Within these ranges, compositions are represented which are lightly built or heavily built depending on the amount of sequestrant builder used.
The compositions of this invention are effective over the broad pH range of about 6 to 12, but optimum cleaning results are achieved with ordinary alkaline detergents in the range of 8 to 12 and preferably 9 to 11. The compositions can be formulated to provide a desired pH in the ranges by proper selection of appropriates salts. Thus, for example, preferred water-soluble salts for both the detergent and sequestering agent, are alkali metal salts such as sodium, potassium, lithium and ammonium or alkylsubstituted ammonium, e.g. triethanol ammonium. Sodium and potassium are preferred water-soluble cations.
Depending on the pH of the desired solution, the salts are partially or fully neutralized.
The detergent compositions can be prepared as solid (granular, tablet, powder) or liquid (aqueous or nonaqueous-based) physical forms.
Any water-soluble organic synthetic detergent can be used in conjunction with the novel class of sequestering builder agents of this invention and have its detergency properties improved. The detergents include anionic, nonionic, ampholytic, and zwitterionic surface-active agents, or mixtures of such materials. Each of these classes of detergents is illustrated by the following listed compounds:
A. Anionic soap and non-soap synthetic detergents This class of detergents includes ordinary alkali metal soaps such as the sodium, potassium, ammonium and alkylolammonium salts of higher fatty acids containing from about 8 to about 24 carbon atoms and preferably from about 10 to about 20 carbon atoms. Suitable fatty acids can be obtained from natural sources such as, for instance, from plant or animal esters (e.g., palm oil, coconut oil, babassu oil, soybean oil, castor oil, tallow, whale and fish oils, grease, lard, and mixtures thereof). The fatty acids also can be synthetically prepared (e.g., by the oxidation of petroleum, or by hydrogenation of carbon monoxide by the Fischer-Tropsch process). Resin acids are suitable such as resin and those resin acids in tall oil. Naphthenic acids are also suitable. Sodium and potassium soaps can be made by direct saponification of the fats and oils or by the neutralization of the free fatty acids which are prepared in a separate manufacturing process. Particularly useful are the sodium and potassium salts of the mixtures of fatty acids derived from coconut oil and tallow, i.e., sodium or potassium tallow and coconut soap.
This class of detergents also includes water-soluble salts, particularly the alkali metal salts of organic sulfuric reaction products having in their molecular structure an alkyl radical containing from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms and a sulfonic acid or sulfuric acid ester radical. (Included in the term alkyl is the alkyl portion of higher acyl radicals.) Examples of this group of synthetic detergents which form a part of the preferred built detergent compositions of the present invention are the sodium or potassium alkyl sulfates, especially those obtained by sulfating the higher alcohols (C -C carbon atoms) produced by reducing the glycerides of tallow or coconut oil; sodium or potassium alkyl benzene sulfonates, in which the alkyl group contains from about 9 to about 15 carbon atoms, in straight chain or branched chain configuration, e.g., those of the type described in United States Letters Patents Numbers 2,220,099 and 2,477,383
(especially valuable are linear straight chain alkyl benzene sulfonates in which the average of the alkyl groups is about 13 carbon atoms abbreviated hereinafter as C LAS); sodium alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonates, especially those ethers of higher alcohols derived from tallow and coconut oil; sodium coconut oil fatty acid monoglyceride sulfonates and sulfates; sodium or potassium salts of sulfuric acid esters of the reaction product of one mole of a higher fatty alcohol (e.g., tallow or coconut oil alcohols) and about 1 to 6 moles of ethylene oxide; sodium or potassium salts of alkyl phenol ethylene oxide ether sulfate with about 1 to about 10 units of ethylene oxide per molecule and in which the alkyl radicals contain about 8 to about 12 carbon atoms.
Additional examples of anionic non-soap synthetic detergents which come within the terms of the present invention are the reaction product of fatty acids esterified with isethionic acid and neutralized with sodium hydroxide where, for example, the fatty acids are derived from coconut oil; sodium or potassium salts of fatty acid amide of methyl tauride in which the fatty acids, for example, are derived from coconut oil. Other anionic synthetic detergents of this variety are set forth in United States Letters Patents 2,486,921; 2,486,922; and 2,396,278.
Still other anionic synthetic detergents include the class designated as succinamates. This class includes such surface active agents as disodium N-octadecylsulfo succinamate; tetrasodium N-(1,2-dicarboxyethyl)-N-octadecylsulfo-succinamate; diamyl ester of sodium sulfosuccinic acid; dihexyl ester of sodium sulfosuccinic acid; dioctyl ester of sodium sulfosuccinic acid.
Anionic phosphate surfactants are also useful in the present invention. These are surface active materials having substantial detergent capability in which the anionic solubilizing group connecting hydrophobic moieties is an oxy acid of phosphorus. The more common solubilizing groups, of course, are --SO H, SO H, and CO H. Alkyl phosphate esters such as (R-O) PO H and ROPO H in which R represents an alkyl chain containing from about 8 to about 20 carbon atoms are useful.
These esters can be modified by including in the molecule from one to about 40 alkylene oxide units, e.g., ethylene oxide units. Formulae for these modified phosphate anionic detergents are o ta-oonzornomi -o-u in which R represents an alkyl group containing from about 8 to 20 carbon atoms, or an alkylphenyl group in which the alkyl group contains from about 8 to 20 carbon atoms, and M represents a soluble cation such as hydrogen, sodium, potassium, ammonium or substituted ammonium; and in which n is an integer from 1 to about 40.
A specific anionic detergent which has also been found excellent for use in the present invention is described more fully in the U.S. Pat. 3,332,880 of Phillip F. Pflaumer and Adriaan Kessler, issued July 25, 1967, titled Detergent Composition. This detergent comprises by Weight from about 30% to about 70% of Component A, from about 20% to about 70% of Component B, and from about 2% to about 15% of Component C, wherein:
(a) Said Component A is a mixture of double-bond positional isomers of water soluble salts of alkene-l sulfonic acids containing from about 10 to about 24 carbon atoms, said mixture of positional isomers including about 10% to about 25% of an alpha-beta unsaturated isomer, about 30% to about 70% of a beta-gamma unsaturated isomer, about 5% to about 25% of a gamma-delta unsaturated isomer, and about 5% to about 10% of a deltaepsilon unsaturated isomer;
(b) Said Component B is a mixture of water soluble salts of bifunctionally-substituted sulfur-containing saturated aliphatic compounds containing from about 10 to about 24 carbon atoms, the functional units being hydroxy and sulfonate radicals with the sulfonate radical always being on the terminal carbon and the hydroxyl radical being attached to a carbon atom at least two carbon atoms removed from the terminal carbon atom, at least 90% of the hydroxy radical substitutions being in the 3, 4, and positions; and
(c) Said Component C is a mixture comprising from about 30-95% water soluble salts of alkene disulfonates containing from about to about 24 carbon atoms, and from about 5% to about 70% water soluble salts of hydroxy disulfonates containing from about 10 to about 24 carbon atoms, said alkene disulfonates containing a sulfonate group attached to a terminal carbon atom and a second sulfonate group attached to an internal carbon atom not more than about six carbon atoms removed from said terminal carbon atom, the alkene double bond being distributed between the terminal carbon atom and about the seventh carbon atom, said hydroxy disulfonates being saturated aliphatic compounds having a sulfonate radical attached to a terminal carbon, a second sulfonate group attached to an internal carbon atom not more than about six carbon atoms removed from said terminal carbon atom, and a hydroxy group attached to a carbon atom which is not more than about four carbon atoms removed from the site of attachment of said second sulfonate group.
B. Nonionic synthetic detergents Nonionic synthetic detergents may be broadly defined as compounds produced by the condensation of alkylene oxide groups (hydrophilic in nature) with an organic hydrophobic compound, which may be aliphatic or alkyl aromatic in nature. The length of the hydrophilic or polyoxyalkylene radical which is condensed with any partic'ular hydrophobic group can be readily adjusted to yield a water-soluble compound having the desired degree of balance between hydrophilic and hydrophobic elements.
For example, a well known class of nonionic synthetic detergents is made available on the market under the trade name of Pluronic. These compounds are formed by condensing ethylene oxide with a hydrophobic base formed by the condensation of propylene oxide with propylene glycol. The hydrophobic portion of the molecule which, of course, exhibits water insolubility, has a molecular weight of from about 1500 to 1800'. The addition of polyoxyethylene radicals to this hydrophobic portion tends to increase the water solubility of the molecule as a whole and the liquid character of the product is retained up to the point where polyoxyethylene content is about 50% of the total weight of the condensation product.
Other suitable nonionic synthetic detergents include:
(1) The polyethylene oxide condensates of alkyl phenols, e.g., the condensation products of alkyl phenols having an alkyl group containing from about 6 to 12 carbon atoms in either a straight chain or branched chain configuration, with ethylene oxide, the said ethylene oxide being present in amounts equal to S to 25 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alkyl phenol. The alkyl substituent in such compounds may be derived from polymerized propylene, diisobutylene, octene, or nonene, for example.
(2) Those derived from the condensation of ethylene oxide with the product resulting from the reaction of propylene oxide and ethylene diamine. For example, compounds containing from about 40% to about 80% polyoxyethylene by weight and having a molecular weight of from about 5,000 to about 11,000 resulting from the reaction of ethylene oxide groups with a hydrophobic base constituted of the reaction product of ethylene diamine and excess propylene oxide, said base having a 8 molecular weight of the order of 2,500 and 3,000, are satisfactory.
(3) The condensation product of aliphatic alcohols having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, in either straight chain or branched chain configuration, with ethylene oxide, e.g., a coconut alcohol-ethylene oxide condensate having from 5 to 30 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of coconut alcohol, the coconut alcohol fraction having from 10 to 14 carbon atoms.
(4) Nonionic detergents include nonyl phenol condensed with either about 10 or about 30 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of phenol and the condensation products of coconut alcohol with an average of either about 5.5 or about 15 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of alcohol and the condensation product of about 15 moles of ethylene oxide with one mole of tridecanol.
Other examples include dodecylphenol condensed with 12 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of phenol; dinonylphenol condensed with 15 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of phenol; dodecyl mercaptan condensed with 10 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of mercaptan; bis-(N- 2-hydroxyethyl) lauramide; nonyl phenol condensed with 20 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of nonyl phenol; myristyl alcohol condensed with 10 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of myristyl alcohol; lauramide condensed with 15 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of lauramide; and di-isooctylphenol condensed with 15 moles of ethylene oxide.
(5) A detergent having the formula -R R R N 0 (amine oxide detergent) wherein R is an alkyl group containing from about 10 to about 28 carbon atoms, from 0 to about 2 hydroxy groups and from 0 to about 5 other linkages, there being at least one moiety of R which is an alkyl group containing from about 10 to about 18 carbon atoms and '0 ether linkages, and each R and R are selected from the group consisting of alkyl radicals and hydroxalkyl radicals containing from 1 to about 3 carbon atoms;

and the corresponding decyl, hexadecyl and octadecyl homologs of the above compounds.

C. Ampholytic synthetic detergents Ampholytic synthetic detergents can be broadly described as derivatives of aliphatic or aliphatic derivatives of heterocyclic secondary and tertiary amines, in which the aliphatic radical may be straight chain or branched and wherein one of the aliphatic substituents contains from about 8 to 18 carbon atoms and at least one contains an anionic water-solubilizing group, e.g., carboxyl, sulfo, sulfato, phosphate, or phosphono.

The alkyl groups contained in said detergent surfactants can be straight or branched, preferably straight, and saturated or unsaturated as desired.
In a finished detergent formulation, there can be present other materials which make the product more effective or more aesthetically attractive. The following are mentioned only by way of example. A water-soluble sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can be added in minor amounts to inhibit soil redeposition or for other reasons. Tarnish inhibitors such as benzotriazole or ethylenethiourea can also be added in amounts up to about 3%. Fluorescers, enzymes, and brighteners, perfumes, coloring agents, while not per se essential in the compositions of this invention, can be added in minor amounts. As already mentioned, an alkaline material or alkali such as sodium or potassium hydroxide can be added as supplementary pH adjusters. Other usual additives include sodium sulfate, sodium carbonate, water and the like. Corrosion inhibitors are also frequently used. Water-soluble silicates are highly effective corrosion inhibitors and can be added if desired'at levels of from about 3% to about 8% by weight of the total composition. Alkali metal, preferably potassium and sodium silicates, are preferred having a weight ratio of SiO :M O of from about 1.0:1 to 2.8:1 (M refers to sodium or potassium.) Sodium silicate having a ratio of SiO :Na O of from about 1.621 to 2.45:1 is especially preferred.
In the embodiment of this invention which provides for a built liquid detergent, a hydrotropic agent may be found desirable. Suitable hydrotropes are water-soluble alkali metal salts of toluenesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, and xylene sulfonate. Preferred hydrotropes are potassium or sodium toluenesulfonates. The hydrotrope may be added, if desired, at levels of from 0% up to about 12%. While a hydrotrope will not ordinarily be found necessary, it can be added, if so desired, for any reason such as to function as a solubilizing agent and to produce a product which retains its homogeneity at a low temperature.
EXAMPLE An effective granular laundry detergent composition according to this invention has the following formulation.
The sequestering agent in the preceding example can be replaced with an equal weight proportion of sodium- 1,3,5-trihydroxy-2,4,6-benzene tricarboxylate, or sodium- 1,3,5-trihydroxy-2,4,6-benzene triacetate and an effective composition is obtained.
SEQUESTRATION EVALUATION PROCEDURE The sequestering properties of the novel class of sequestrants of this invention are demonstrated with the following procedure.
The evaluations are run in 200 ml. beakers at 23 i3 C. with a magnetic stirrer. 50 ml. 14 gram/ gal. (calculated as Caflo CaCl solution is poured into the breaker. The requisite amount of sequestering agent (builder) sample to give a final solution concentration of 0.06%, 0.03%, or 0.02%, is weighed or pipetted into the beaker. The sample is brought to pH 7 with KOH or HCl as needed. Distilled water is added to give a total volume of :3 ml. Fine adjustment is made to pH 7.00:0.05 with a Corning Model 12 meter and Corning Model 476022 glass electrode. At this point the calcium ion electrode is plugged in place of the pH electrode and the calcium ion activity is measured. The expanded scales either 0 to +100 or 0 to 100 millivolts, as necessary, are used. All readings are made with slow stirring. The resultant millivolt reading is converted into grains/ gal. using a standardization curve. This amount represents residual hardness. The standards, 100, 10, 7, 5, 3, 1, 0.5 and 0.1 grains/gal. (as CaCO CaCl at pH 7.00 are linear with potential down to 1 grain/gal. and by 0.1 grain/gal. (1.7 10- molar) the practical limit of measurement has been reached. Day-today variation in potential readings is appreciable above 1 grain/gaL; it amounts to :3 millivolts or i10%. Below 1 grain/gal. error grows rapidly; however, precise statements of error limits are meaningless. A day-to-day variation in the behavior of even good calcium electrodes is to be expected below 1 grain/ gal. At times, linearity will extend almost to 0.1 grain/ gal. and then the best error limits will obtain. A further clue to superb calcium electrode performance is the rate at which it comes to its final potential.
15 At best, this will be on the order of a second; about 10 seconds is the usual time. In summary, readings to within 10% can always be made down to 1 grain/gal. With a superb electrode, this can be extended to 0.1 grain/ gal.
This procedure was used in the examples given below in which sequestering properties are given.
As noted above, the synthesis methods for preparing the sequestering agents represent no part of this invention. While any known reactions can be used, the following examples are given to illustrate successful preparative methods. The sequestration values are given with several of the following examples.
EXAMPLE I Preparation of Na -1,3,5-trihydroxy-2,4,G-benzene trisulfonate Two hundred grams of 1,3,5-trihydroxy benzene dihydrate were added to a stirred four-neck flask cooled by an ice bath to C. Two kilograms of chlorosulfonic acid were then carefully added over a period of twenty-five minutes. After standing for an hour, the reaction mass was filtered through a fritted glass funnel and washed with 6 liters of dichloromethane. This acid batch was then added to a second similar batch and allowed to stand in a desiccator over sulfuric acid for two days at reduced pressure. Part of the dried solid was suspended in dichloromethane and neutralized with 50% NaOH/H O. After the solvent was pulled off by heating at 30 C. under reduced pressure, the product, Na -1,3,5-trihydroxy-2,4,6-benzene trisulfonate, was freeze dried.

In many industrial, institutional and household processses and products, a small amount of a metal ion contamination present in water can adversely affect color, stability, appearance, quality and saleability of a product or the efficiency of a process. The role of a sequestering agent in overcoming such adverse affects of metal ions is fairly well recognized and appreciated. Accordingly, another embodiment of the present invention is to provide a process for treating aqueous solutions containing polyvalent metal ions by adding to the solution an efiective amount of at least one of the novel class of sequestering agents described and illustrated above. Ordinarily, this amount ranges from .25 p.-p.m. to 10,000 p.p.m of the aqueous solution. This embodiment of the present invention is based on the discovery of the sequestering properties of the sequestering agents described herein.
As indicated above, the manner of synthesizing the sequestering agents of this invention form no part of this invention. lAny suitable reaction can be used. Thus, for example, sulfonations are effected by reaction of the arcmatic-based material with in such solvents as HCl, H 80 $0 or H O. Carboxy groups are formed by adding previously carboxylated materials to aromatics by oxidation of methyls or chloromethyls with H 0 potassium dichromate, potassium permanganate, or nitric acid. Phenolic OH groups are added by means of alkali fusion of aromatics or by means of acidification of hydroperoxides of isopropyl aromatics Alcoholic OH groups are added by reacting chloromethyl aromatics with aqueous NaOH or KOH. These procedures and the others used are adapted as needed so as to obtain the desired end product. The aforementioned processes are more fully described in Organic Chemistry by R. T. Morrison and R. N. Boyd, published by Allyn and Bacon, Inc. in 1962.
In addition, 3,6-dihydroxybenzene-l,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid and related compounds can be prepared by the procedure described in detail in J. U. Nef Annalen der Chemie 237, l-35 (1887).
A similar synthetic route is described in H. van Pechmann tfi Ludwig Wolmann, Berichte der Deutschen Chema ischen Gesellschaft 30, 2569-7l (1898).
Other sequestering agents which come within the novel class of the sequestering agents of this invention such as phenol-2,4,6-trisulfonic acid can be prepared according to the procedure described in Senhofer, Ann 170, 110.
A suitable reaction synthesis for the preparation of 1,3,5-trihydroxy-2,4,6-benzene trisulfonic acid is described in Pollak, Gebauer-Ffilnegg Monats helfe ftlr Chemie 47, 544-552.
The foregoing description and examples describe and illustrate certain operable hard preferred embodiments of the present invention. It is not intended that the invention should be so limited since variations and modifications thereof will be obvious to those skilled in the art, all of which are within the spirit and scope of this invention.
What is claimed is:
1. A detergent composition consisting essentially of a water-soluble organic synthetic detergent selected from the group consisting of anionic, nonionic, ampholytic and zwitterionic surface active agents and mixtures thereof, and as a detergency aid a sequestering agent which is a water-soluble salt selected from the group consisting 22 of alkali metal salts and ammonium salts of a polyfunctionally-substituted aromatic compound having the formula HO OH OOH and wherein the proportion by weight of the organic synthetic detergent to the sequestering agent is in the range of 20:1 to 1:20.
2. A detergent composition of claim 1 wherein the sequestering agent is the trisodium salt of 1,3,5-trihydroxy-2,4,6-benzene tricarboxylic acid.
