Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of cleaning a contaminant from a substrate, and more particularly, to a method of cleaning a contaminant from a substrate using carbon dioxide and an amphiphilic species contained therein.
- halogenated solvents have been used to remove contaminants from various substrates and, in particular, chlorofluorocarbons have been employed.
- the use of such solvents has been disfavored due to the associated environmental risks.
- employing less volatile solvents e.g., aqueous solvents
- aqueous solvents as a replacement to the halogenated solvents may be disadvantageous, since extensive post- cleaning drying of the cleaned substrate is often required.
- the present invention includes a process for separating a contaminant from a substrate that carries the contaminant.
- the process comprises contacting the substrate to a carbon dioxide fluid containing an amphiphilic species so that the contaminant associates with the amphiphilic species and becomes entrained in the carbon dioxide fluid.
- the process may further comprise separating the substrate from the carbon dioxide fluid having the contaminant entrained therein, and then separating the contaminant from the carbon dioxide fluid.
- the carbon dioxide fluid may be present in the supercritical, gaseous, or liquid phase.
- the amphiphilic species employed in the carbon dioxide phase comprises a "C0 2 -philic" segment which has an affinity for the C0 2 . More preferably, the amphiphilic species further comprises a "C0 2 -phobic" segment which does not have an affinity for the C0 2 .
- Various substrates may be cleaned in accordance with the invention. Exemplary substrates include polymers, metals, ceramics, glass, and composite mixtures thereof . Contaminants that may be separated from the substrate are numerous and include, for example, inorganic compounds, organic compounds, polymers, and particulate matter.
- the present invention is directed to a process for separating a contaminant from a substrate that carries the contaminant.
- the process comprises contacting the substrate to a carbon dioxide fluid which contains an amphiphilic species.
- the contaminant associates with the amphiphilic species and becomes entrained in the carbon dioxide fluid.
- the process also comprises separating the substrate from the carbon dioxide fluid having the contaminant entrained therein, and then separating the contaminant from the carbon dioxide fluid.
- carbon dioxide is employed as a fluid in a liquid, gaseous, or supercritical phase.
- liquid C0 2 the temperature employed during the process is preferably below 31°C.
- gaseous C0 2 it is preferred that the phase be employed at high pressure.
- high pressure generally refers to C0 2 having a pressure from about 20 to about 73 bar. In the preferred embodiment, the C0 2 is utilized in a
- “supercritical” phase As used herein, “supercritical” means that a fluid medium is at a temperature that is sufficiently high that it cannot be liquified by pressure.
- the thermodynamic properties of C0 2 are reported in Hyatt, J. Org. Chem . 49: 5097-5101 (1984) ; therein, it is stated that the critical temperature of C0 2 is about 31°C; thus the method of the present invention should be carried out at a temperature above 31° .
- the C0 2 fluid used in cleaning applications can be employed in a single or multi-phase system with appropriate and known aqueous and organic liquid components.
- Such components generally include a co ⁇ solvent or modifier, a co-surfactant, and other additives such as bleaches, optical brighteners, enzymes, rheology modifiers, sequestering agents, and chelants. Any or all of the components may be employed in the C0 2 -based cleaning process of the present invention prior to, during, or after the substrate is contacted by the C0 2 fluid.
- a co-solvent or modifier is a component of a C0 2 -based cleaning formulation that is believed to modify the bulk solvent properties of the medium to which it is added.
- the use of the co-solvents in low polarity compressible fluids such as carbon dioxide have been observed to have a dramatic effect on the solvency of the fluid medium.
- two types of co-solvents or modifiers may be employed, namely one which is miscible with the C0 2 fluid and one that is not miscible with the fluid.
- a co-solvent When a co-solvent is employed which is miscible with the C0 2 fluid, a single-phase solution results. When a co-solvent is employed which is not miscible with the C0 2 fluid, a multi-phase system results.
- suitable co-solvents or modifiers include, but are not limited to, liquid solvents such as water and aqueous solutions which may contain various appropriate water- soluble solutes.
- an aqueous solution may be present in amounts so as to be miscible in the C0 2 -phase, or may be present in other amounts so as to be considered immiscible with the C0 2 - phase.
- aqueous solution should be broadly construed to include water and other appropriate water- soluble components.
- the water may be being of various appropriate grades such as tap water or purified water, for example.
- exemplary solutes which may be used as co ⁇ solvents include, but are not limited to, alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol) ; fluorinated and other halogenated solvents (e.g., chlorotri- fluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, perfluoropropane, chlorodifluoromethane, and sulfur hexafluoride) ; amines (e.g., N-methyl pyrroiidone) ; amides (e.g., dimethyl acetamide) ; aromatic solvents (e.g., benzene, toluene, and xylenes) ; esters (e.g., ethyl acetate, dibasic esters, and lactate esters) ; ethers (e.g., diethyl
- the process of the present invention employs an amphiphilic species contained within the carbon dioxide fluid.
- the amphiphilic species should be one that is surface active in the C0 2 fluid and thus creates a dispersed phase of matter which would otherwise exhibit low solubility in the carbon dioxide fluid.
- the amphiphilic species partitions between the contaminant and the C0 2 phase and thus lowers the interfacial tension between the two components, thus promoting the entrainment of the contaminant in the C0 2 phase.
- the amphiphilic species is generally present in the carbon dioxide fluid from 0.001 to 30 weight percent. It is preferred that the amphiphilic species contain a segment which has an affinity for the C0 2 phase ("C0 2 -philic”) . More preferably, the amphiphilic species also contains a segment which does not have an affinity for the C0 2 -phase ("C0 2 -phobic”) and may be covalently joined to the C0 2 -philic segment.
- Exemplary C0 2 -philic segments may include a fluorine-containing segment or a siloxane-containing segment.
- the fluorine-containing segment is typically a "fluoropolymer" .
- a "fluoropolymer” has its conventional meaning in the art and should also be understood to include low molecular weight oligomers, i.e., those which have a degree of polymerization greater than or equal to two. See generally Banks et al . , Organo fluor ine Compounds : Principals and Applications (1994); see also Fluorine- Containing Polymers, 7 Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering 256 (H. Mark et al . Eds. 2d Ed. 1985) .

- Amphiphilic species which are suitable for the invention may be in the form of, for example, random, block (e.g., di-block, tri-block, or multi- block) , blocky (those from step growth polymerization) , and star homopolymers, copolymers, and co-oligomers.
- Exemplary block copolymers include, but are not limited to, polystyrene-b-poly(1, 1-dihydroperfluorooctyl acrylate), polymethyl methacrylate-b-poly(1, 1- dihydroperfluorooctyl methacrylate), poly(2- (dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate) -b-poly(l,l- dihydroperfluorooctyl methacrylate) , and a diblock copolymer of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and poly(1, 1-dihydroperfluorooctyl methacrylate) .

- Other examples can be found in I. Piirma, Polymeric Surfactants (Marcel Dekker 1992) ; and G. Odian,
- non-polymeric molecules may be used such as perfluoro octanoic acid, perfluoro (2-propoxy propanoic) acid, fluorinated alcohols and diols, along with various fluorinated acids, ethoxylates, amides, glycosides, alkanolamides, quaternary ammonium salts, amine oxides, and amines. Mixtures of any of the above may be used.
- Various components which are suitable for the process of the invention are encompassed by the class of materials described in E.
- two or more amphiphilic species may be employed in the C0 2 phase.
- a co-surfactant may be used in the C0 2 phase in addition to the amphiphilic species.
- Suitable co- surfactants are those materials which typically modify the action of the amphiphilic species, for example, to facilitate the transport of contaminant molecules or material into or out of aggregates of the amphiphilic species.
- co-surfactants that may be used include, but are not limited to, longer chain alcohols (i.e., greater than C 8 ) such as octanol, decanol, dodecanol, cetyl, laurel, and the like; and species containing two or more alcohol groups or other hydrogen bonding functionalities; amides; amines; and other like components.
- An example of a typical application is the use of cetyl alcohol as a co-surfactant in aqueous systems such as in the mini-emulsion polymerization of styrene using sodium lauryl sulfate as a surface active component.
- Suitable other types of materials that are useful as co-surfactants are well known by those skilled in the art, and may be employed in the process of the present invention. Mixtures of the above may be used.
- additives may be employed in the carbon dioxide, preferably enhancing the physical or chemical properties of the carbon dioxide fluid to promote association of the amphiphilic species with the contaminant and entrainment of the contaminant in the fluid.
- the additives may also modify or promote the action of the carbon dioxide fluid on a substrate.
- Such additives may include, but are not limited to, bleaching agents, optical brighteners, bleach activators, corrosion inhibitors, enzymes, builders, co-builders, chelants, sequestering agents, rheology modifiers, and non-surface active polymeric materials which prevent particle redeposition. Mixtures of any of the above may be used.
- rheology modifiers are those components which may increase the viscosity of the C0 2 phase to facilitate contaminant removal .
- Exemplary polymers include, for example, perfluoropolyethers, fluoroalkyl polyacrylics, and siloxane oils. Additionally, other molecules may be employed including C ⁇ C ⁇ alcohols, C ⁇ C ⁇ branched or straight-chained saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons, ketones, carboxylic acids, N-methyl pyrroiidone, dimethylacetyamide, ethers, fluorocarbon solvents, and chlorofluorocarbon solvents. For the purposes of the invention, the additives are typically utilized up to their solubility limit in the C0 2 fluid employed during the separation.
- cleaning should be understood to be consistent with its conventional meaning in the art. Specifically, “cleaning” should encompass all aspects of surface treatment which are inherent in such processes. For example, in the cleaning of garments, the use of cationic surface active agents leads to their adsorption on the fibers in the textile fabric which reduces static electricity in the clothing that is cleaned. Although the adsorption might not be technically referred to as cleaning, Applicants believe that such phenomena are typically inherent in a vast majority of cleaning processes.
- Exemplary industrial applications include the cleaning of substrates utilized in metal forming and machining processes; coating processes; fiber manufacturing and processing; fire restoration; foundry applications; garment care; recycling processes; surgical implantation processes; high vacuum processes (e.g., optics) ; precision part cleaning and recycling processes which employ, for example, gyroscopes, laser guidance components and environmental equipment; biomolecule and purification processes; food and pharmaceutical processes; and microelectronic maintenance and fabrication processes.
- Processes relating to cleaning textile materials may also be encompassed including those, for example, which pertain to residential, commercial, and industrial cleaning of clothes, fabrics, and other natural and synthetic textile and textile-containing materials.
- Specific processes can relate to cleaning of materials typically carried out by conventional agitation machines using aqueous-based solutions. Additionally, processes of the invention can be employed in lieu of, or in combination with, dry cleaning techniques.

- Exemplary substrates include porous and non ⁇ porous solids such as metals, glass, ceramics, synthetic and natural organic polymers, synthetic and natural inorganic polymers, composites, and other natural materials. Textile materials may also be cleaning according to the process of the invention.
- liquids and gel-like substances may also be employed as substrates and include, for example, biomass, food products, and pharmaceutical. Mixtures of solids and liquids can also be utilized including various slurries, emulsions, and fluidized beds.
- the contaminants may encompass materials such as inorganic compounds, organic compounds which includes polar and non-polar compounds, polymers, oligomers, particulate matter, as well as other materials. Inorganic and organic compounds may be interpreted to encompass oils as well as all compounds.

Specific examples of the contaminants include greases; salts; contaminated aqueous solutions which may contain aqueous contaminants; lubricants; human residues such as fingerprints, body oils, and cosmetics; photoresists; pharmaceutical compounds; food products such as flavors and nutrients; dust; dirt; and residues generated from exposure to the environment .
- the steps involved in the process of the present invention can be carried out using apparatus and conditions known to those who are skilled in the art.

- Any known technique may be employed for this step; preferably, temperature and pressure profiling of the fluid is employed to vary the solubility of the contaminant in the C0 2 such that it separates out of the fluid.
- the same technique may be used to separate the amphiphilic species from the C0 2 fluid.
- a co-solvent, co-surfactant, or any other additive material can be separated. Any of the materials may be recycled for subsequent use in accordance with known methods.
- the temperature and pressure of the vessel may be varied to facilitate removal of residual surfactant from the substrate being cleaned.
- pre-treatment formulation refers to an appropriate solvent, surface treatment, chemical agent, additive, or mixture thereof including, but not limited to, those recited herein.
- a basic or acidic pre-treatment formulation may be useful. In general, the selection of the pre-treatment formulation to be used in this step often depends on the nature of the contaminant.
- a hydrogen fluoride or hydrogen fluoride mixture has been found to facilitate the removal of polymeric material, such as poly(isobutylene) films.
- pretreating or spotting agents are often added in many applications, such as in garment care, to facilitate removal of particularly difficult stains.
- Exemplary solvents for use in pre-treatment formulations are described in U.S. Patent No. 5,377,705 to Smith, Jr. et al . , the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- Other suitable additives, pre-treatments, surface treatments, and chemical agents are known to those skilled in the art, and may be employed alone or in combination with other appropriate components for use as a pre-treatment formulation in the process of the invention.
