Abstract

ABSTRACT

Raw starch is slurried in an aqueous solution containing up to and above saturation levels of an ammonium sulfate, ammonium monobasic or dibasic phosphate, sodium sulfate or mixtures thereof. The slurry is then cooked at temperatures above about 150°C. The resulting starch cook is then extruded using conventional methods into a coagulating salt bath thereby producing a starch fiber. When the starch is cooked in the presence of a salt prior to spinning in the coagulation bath, dilution of the salt in the coagulation bath is minimized, thus reducing the evaporation load and consequently lowering the initial capital cost of the evaporation as well as the operating costs over those required by the methods of the prior art.

Description

2~4 IMPROVED PROCESS FOR SPINNING STARCH FIBERS

U.S. Patents 4,139,699 issued Feb. 13, 1979 to Hernandez et al. and 4,243,480 issued June 6, 1981 to Hernandez et al. as well as U.S. Patents 2,902,336 issued Sept. 1, 1959 to Heimstra et al; 3,030,667 issued April 24, 1962 to Kung; 3,116,351 issued Dec. 31, 1963 to Wohbrabe et al. and 3,336,429 issued Aug. 15, 1967 to Carevic teach methods for the formation of starch fibers by spinning or extruding a heat or chemically stabilized starch solution into an aqueous coagulation salt bath.
We have n~w found that if the starch is cooked in the presence of a salt prior to spinning in the coagulation bath, dilution of the salt in the coagulation bath is minimized, thus reducing the evaporation load and consequently lowering the initial capital cost of the evaporation as well as the operating costs over those required by the methods of the prior art.
Thus, the present invention is directed to an improved method for the prcduction of starch fibers. In accordance with the invention, raw starch is slurried in an aqueous solution containing up to and above saturation levels of an ammonium sulfate, ammonium monobasic or dibasic phosphate, ammonium sulfama~e, sodium sulfate or mixtures thereof. The slurry is then cooked at temperatures sufficient to cook the starch in the presence of the salt (normally above about 150C for a neutral pH slurry ~:3~284 of starch and salt). The resulting starch cook is then extruded using conventional methods into a coagulating salt bath thereby producing a starch fiber.
The process of the invention is not limited to any specific starch.
Corn starch, rice starch, potato starch, tapioca starch, wheat starch, amylose or amylopectin fractions may be employed. The starch base may be used in modified or unmodified form. The choice of the starch to be used is dependent in large part on the end use of the starch fiber. If desired, water soluble hydrocolloids such as polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, polyacrylic acid and polyvinyl pyrrolidinone my replace up to 50% of the starch component. The starch may be present in the starch slurry in amount of 5 to 40% by weight of the solids (starch plus salt).
The salt may be present in the starch slurry in the amount of 1 to lS 130 weight percent on water; higher levels, as they would not increase the soluble concentration of salt at the jet cooking temperatures, may be used but give no additional improvement. The optimum level is that which yields a saturated salt solution at the -temperature used in jet cooking the starch slurry. Thus, it may be desirable to add the salt in an amount which, at room temperature may result in undissolved crystalline salt in the saturated solution, the latter being dissolved in the saturated solution at the elevated temperatures employed. Since the principal advantage of the present invention is to eliminate the necessity for evaporation of large quantities of water, the preferred salt level is that which yields, on exiting the jet cooker, a concentration identical to that of the salt ooagulation bath. Under optimum oonditions, the amount of salt in the slurry and in the coagulation bath should be approximately equal. The reason for this is to allow the combined waters of the coagulation bath and jet cook (fibers removed) to be used to slurry up more starch without the need for additional salt.
Depending on the starch base utilized as well as the method of coagulation, it may also be desireable to incorporate in the starch slurry sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or ammonium hydroxide. These alkali stabilizing materials may be used if magnesium or sodium salts are utilized. However, in the case of ammonium salts, which must be utilized at pH levels of 8 or below, the addition of alkali is not desired and indeed, it may be necessary to add an acidic material in order to obtain the required pH.
The resul~ant slurry is then cooked using, for example, a pressure retort or steam injection to form a colloidal dispersion of the starch.
While the colloidal dispersion with some starches or at low salt concentrations may be cooled to rcom temperature, it is preferred to utilize the starch at elevated temperatures so as to maintain the colloidal dispersion and insure efficient fiber precipitation.
The coagulating bath used in preparing the starch fibers according to the present invention comprises an aqueous solution containing specific salts selected from the group consisting of ammonium sulfate, ammonium sulfamate, mono- and di-basic ammonium phosphate, sodium sulfate and mixtures thereof. It is preferred that the same salt used in the coagulation bath is also employed in the starch slurry.
It is also possible to oombine the above mentioned ~unctional salts used in the starch slurry and/or the coagulation bath with other compatible salts which may accelerate the formation of, improve the processing of, or produce some other desired result on the starch fibers -~ 3~28~

formed. Suitable salts for this purpose include ammonium persulfate, ammonium carbonate, a~monium bromide, ammonium bisulfite, ammonium nitrite, ammonium nitrate, ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium oxalate, sodium, and potassium chloride, potassium sulfate, among others. Generally no advantage is seen in using these additional salts since the primary sulfate, sulfamate or phosphate salts must still be present in their respective minimum amount in order to effect coagulation.
The actual fiber spinning techniques including the composition of the coagulating bath may be any of those utilized in the prior art as exemplified by the previously identified U.S. Patents. Exemplary of these is the bath described in U.S. Patent No. 4,139,699. In this case, the coagulating bath comprises an aqueous solution containing specific ammonium salts selected from the group consisting of ammonium sulfate, ammonium sulfamate, mono- and dibasic ammonium phosphate and mixtures thereof. The minimum concentration of the salt re~uired to effect coagulation as well as the preferred salt or salt blend will vary depending upon the particular starch base employed. For example, in the case of waxy maize starch, it is necessary for ammonium sulfate to be present in amounts of at least 35%, by weight of the total solution, ammonium sulfamate 72% (saturation), dibasic ammonium phosphate 37% and mono-basic ammonium phosphate 40%. In the case of corn starch or similar starches containing about 64~80% amylopectin, lower concentrations of salt may be used with ammonium sulfate required in amounts of 20%, ammonium sulfamate 50%, mono-basic ammonium phosphate 25% and di-basic ammonium phosphate 30%. In the case of hybrid corn starches containing less than about 50% amylopectin, ammonium sulfate must be present in amounts of at least 15%, ammonium sulfamate 40% di-basic ammonium phosphate 25% and l ~14284 mono-basic ammonium phosphate 20~. While sodium sulfate may be used in the case of higher amylose starches, the other salts discussed herein are preferred for use with other starch bases.
An added feature of the present invention is the fact that most of the salt present in the colloidal dispersion remains in the coagulating bath thereby substantially reducing the need for frequent replenishment of the salt in the coagulation bath.
Starch fibers can be produced at any temperature at which the starch dispersion can be handled. Generally, the coagulation bath is maintained at about room temperature (20~C) during production of the fibers, however, higher temperatures may be desired under certain condition since they increase the solubility of the salt in the coagulating bath resulting in more concentrated solutions. Conversely, with some low amylose starches a cool salt bath decreases the time required to develop a tack-free fiber suitable for removal by filtration.
In preparing the starch fibers, the starch dispersion is introduced continuously or by drops in the form of a thread-like stream into a moving coagulating salt solution. This introduction may be accomplished either from above or below the salt solution using any conventional techniques.
Thus, the dispersion may be extruded through an apparatus containing at least one aperture, such as a spinnerette, a syringe or a biuret feed tube. Alternatively, the dispersion may be discharged under pressure from a pipe or tube containing a plurality of apertures into a surrounding enclosed area, e.g. a concentric pipe, oontaining the moving coagulatir.g solution. Various adaptations of the above and related techniques may be used and the fibers may thus produced using either batch or continuous operations.

- 6 _ 1 3 1 4 2 8 4 Depending upon the desired end use of the fibers, the method of recovery thereof may vary. Thus, the aqueous suspension or slurry of fibers may be used directly, such as by introducing it into a paper stream, thereby enabling complete integration of the fiber production into the paper manufacturing plant. The fibers may also be recovered in the dry state for example, by collecting the fibers from water on a screen or similar device. It is then preferable to reslurry the fibers into a non-aqueous solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone or the like in which the fibers are not soluble. The fibers are then recovered, as by filtration, from the solvent and dried. Other methods such as centrifuging, flash-drying or spray-drying may also be used to remove the water. Once dried, the fibers may be re-introduced into an aqueous medium and will exhibit excellent re-dispersibility maintaining their discrete, discontinuous structure. Alternatively, the fibers may be recovered from the slurry, as by filtration, washed and placed in water at levels of up to about 50% solids and formed into "wet slabs" for subsequent use.
It will be recognized that the techniques described herein are adaptable to a wide range of coagulating techniques as well as a variety of fiber types. Thus, depending upon the starch base and/or the processing technique, the fibers may be water-sensitive or water - insensitive; further, they may comprise only starch, a starch-hydrocolloid blend, or a fiber containing water-insoluble additives. Post-reaction of the starch fibers with various starch derivatizing agents or conventional cross-linking agents is also possible.
The invention is illustrated further by the following examples which are not, however, intended to limit the scope of the invention. ~nless otherwise stated, all parts in the examples are by weight.

EXAMPLE
Starch fiber was prepared fr~n 40 fluidity corn starch (Flogel 40 from National Starch and Chemical Corp.) using the techniques described in ~.S. Patent No. 4,139,699. The raw starch was slurried at 31.7 percent 5 solids in water, jet cooked by live steam injection, and spun, under 40 psi, through a die having 91 holes each of 11 mil diameter. A
precipitating salt bath of 37.6 percent solids ammonium sulfate was pumped past the die at a rate of % gallons per minute. The resulting slurry of starch fiber in salt solution was collected, the percentage of each 10 ccmponent determined, and a mass balance for the spinning process calculated. This is shown in Table IA.
To re-concentrate the salt solution in the output stream to the original precipitating bath strength, so that it may be recycled, requires evaporation of the waters added with the starch slurry and as steam.
15 The rate of generation of this water, expressed as mass over time;
divided by the rate of fiber produced, expressed as mass over time, is defined as the evaporator load. These values are also shown in Table IA.
