These are, in particular, alkali metal salts such as sodium or potassium chloride, bromide or sulfate. However, since chloride ions can cause corrosion when metals are used as material for the work-up equipment, other salts, such as sulfates, are generally preferred to set the density of the scrubbing solution.
- a salt is selected having the same cation as the alkaline compound, when sodium hydroxide solution is used, therefore, preferably sodium sulfate. Mixtures of salts are also possible.

- the resulting concentrated scrubber solution typically also contains several hundred ppm fluoride ion, and frequently has a colour that varies from light tan to brown, indicative of other impurities, including organic impurities.
- the recovered concentrated scrubber solution should preferably be contacted with alumina to reduce fluoride concentration. This may be done, for example, by passing the concentrated scrubber solution through a bed packed with alumina, the preferred method, or by slurrying the fluorinated carboxylic acid solution with alumina and then separating the solution from the alumina.

Description
- This application claims priority to Great Britain Application No. 0525978.3, filed on Dec. 21, 2005; Great Britain Application No. 0523853.0, filed on Nov. 24, 2005; Great Britain Application No. 0514398.7, filed on Jul. 15, 2005; and Great Britain Application No. 0514387.0 filed on Jul. 15, 2005, all of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- The present invention relates to a process for recovering fluorinated carboxylic acids or salts thereof from an exhaust gas stream.
- Polymerization of fluoroolefins to manufacture fluoropolymers is often performed in aqueous media. In one such process referred to as emulsion polymerization, fluorinated carboxylic acids are typically used as surfactants in the aqueous media at concentrations on the order of 0.1% by weight of water in the recipe. Examples of these fluorosurfactants include the perfluorinated alkane carboxylic acids having 7 to 10 carbon atoms, in particular perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). These acids are generally used in the salt form, preferably as ammonium salts. Fluoropolymerizations to make “granular fluoropolymer” are also done in aqueous media in a process sometimes referred to as suspension polymerization, though with less fluorosurfactant (or none) than is used in dispersion polymerization. For a discussion of the processes, see “Tetrafluoroethylene Polymers” in the Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1989, Vol. 16, p. 580.
- When, after polymerization, the fluoropolymer is isolated from the aqueous medium, i.e., by coagulation in emulsion polymerization, a substantial portion of the perfluorooctanoic acid typically remains on the fluoropolymer. When the fluoropolymer is heated for the purpose of drying, the PFOA is volatilized and carried away in the dryer or oven exhaust gas. To avoid release of the PFOA into the environment, it is known to contact the exhaust gas with for example a scrubber solution or liquid to recover the PFOA from the exhaust gas stream, also called off-gas stream.
- Methods of treating an off-gas stream with a scrubber solution are disclosed in for example U.S. Pat. No. 5,990,330, U.S. Pat. No. 6,245,923 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,720,437. Depending on the scrubber solution used, the PFOA may separate as a separate phase, thus allowing easy recovery or re-use.
- Although the recovery of the perfluorinated alkanoic acids and salts thereof, which are typically used in emulsion polymerization, from exhaust gas streams according to the above method represents an economical and environmental advantage through the re-use of these compounds as surfactants in the emulsion polymerization of fluorinated monomers, the process still suffers from the disadvantage that some amount of perfluorinated carboxylic acid or salt thereof may nevertheless be lost and/or released in the environment. This is particularly disadvantageous because perfluorinated alkanoic acids having 8 or more carbons are known to be bio-accumulating.
- It would thus be desirable to find alternative fluorinated carboxylic acids that can be used in the emulsion polymerization of fluorinated monomers and that can be recovered from off-gas streams using a convenient and cost effective method. Desirably, the alternative fluorinated carboxylic acids show lower bio-accumulation profile than perfluoro alkanoic acids having 8 or more carbon atoms, such that any losses of the fluorinated carboxylic acid provide a lower environmental health and safety concern.
- In one aspect, the present invention provides a process for the recovery of a fluorinated carboxylic acid or salts thereof from exhaust gas streams, the process comprising contacting the exhaust gas stream with a composition capable of at least partially removing the fluorinated carboxylic acid or salt thereof from said exhaust gas stream, wherein said fluorinated carboxylic acid or salt thereof is selected from the group consisting of fluorinated carboxylic acids or salts thereof that correspond to the general formula:
[Rf—O-L-COO−]iXi+ (I)
wherein L represents a linear partially or fully fluorinated alkylene group or an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, Rf represents a linear partially or fully fluorinated aliphatic group or a linear partially or fully fluorinated aliphatic group interrupted with one or more oxygen atoms, Xi+ represents a cation having the valence i and i is 1, 2 or 3. Examples of cations include H+, ammonium, monovalent metal cations, divalent metal cations and trivalent cations. Typical cations are H+ and NH4 +. - It has been found that fluorinated carboxylic acids and salts according to the above general formula (I) eliminate more quickly from a living organism, as demonstrated on rat screening studies, than perfluoro alkanoic acids having 8 or more carbon atoms. Additionally, it has been found that these surfactants can be used in the emulsion polymerization of fluorinated monomers to produce fluoropolymers and can be recovered from off-gas streams in an easy and convenient way by contacting the exhaust gas with a composition capable of at least partially removing the fluorinated carboxylic acid or salt thereof from said exhaust gas stream. In particular, the volatile fluorinated carboxylic acids and salts as well as other fluorinated carboxylic acids and salts which may be carried as aerosols with the exhaust gas stream, can be readily recovered from such exhaust gas stream. Because of their lower bio-accumulation, the fluorinated carboxylic acids, salts and derivatives (such as ester derivatives) should provide less of an environmental impact in case of small losses of these compounds. Also, the process should be more beneficial for operators of the process that may be exposed, for example accidentally, to the fluorinated carboxylic acids, their salts or derivatives used in work-up procedures following the recovery from the exhaust gas stream.
- Fluorinated Carboxylic Acid
- For the sake of convenience, the term ‘fluorinated carboxylic acid’ is hereinafter used to indicate the free acid as well as salts thereof. The fluorinated carboxylic acid used in the process of the invention corresponds to formula (I) above. Generally, the fluorinated carboxylic acid will be a low molecular weight compound, for example a compound having a molecular weight for the anion part of the compound of not more than 1000 g/mol, typically not more than 600 g/mol and in particular embodiments, the anion of the fluorinated carboxylic acid may have a molecular weight of not more than 500 g/mol.
- Particularly preferred fluorinated carboxylic acids are those that when administered to rats show a recovery of at least 45%, for example at least 50% of the administered amount after 96 hours via renal elimination and that have a renal elimination half-life of not more than 35 hours, for example of not more than 30 hours in rats as tested according to the method set forth in the examples. Generally, fluorinated carboxylic acids in which each of the fluorinated aliphatic moieties in the compound have not more than 3 carbon atoms fulfill the aforementioned conditions of renal recovery and half-life. Thus, preferred compounds are those in which any fluorinated alkylene groups have not more than 3 carbon atoms and in which a fluorinated alkyl group of the compound has not more than 3 carbon atoms.
- In the above formula (I), L represents a linking group. In one embodiment, the linking group can be a linear partially or fully fluorinated alkylene. Fully fluorinated alkylene groups include alkylene groups that consist of only carbon and fluorine atoms whereas partially fluorinated alkylene groups may additionally contain hydrogen. Generally, a partially fluorinated alkylene group should not contain more than 2 hydrogen atoms so as to be highly fluorinated and be non-telogenic or at least have minimal telogenic effects. Examples of fully fluorinated alkylene groups include linear perfluorinated alkylenes that have from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, for example linear perfluorinated alkylene groups of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 carbon atoms.

In a particular embodiment the linear partially fluorinated alkylene linking group has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 carbon atoms and has only 1 or 2 hydrogen atoms. When the partially fluorinated alkylene group has 2 hydrogen atoms, they may be attached to the same carbon atom or they can be attached to different carbon atoms. When they are attached to different carbon atoms, such carbon atoms can be adjacent to each other or not. Also, in a particular embodiment, a carbon atom having 1 or 2 hydrogen atoms may be adjacent the ether oxygen atom to which the linking group is attached or adjacent the carboxylic group to which the linking group is attached at its other end.
- In a further embodiment, the linking group L is an aliphatic hydrocarbon group. Examples of aliphatic hydrocarbon groups include linear, branched or cyclic aliphatic groups. Particular examples of aliphatic groups include linear or branched alkylene groups of 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as for example methylene or ethylene.

The reaction is generally carried out in aqueous media. An organic solvent may be added to improve the solubility of the fluorinated olefin. Examples of organic solvents include glyme, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and acetonitrile. Additionally or alternatively a phase transfer catalyst may be used. As a base, use can be made of for example ammonia, alkali and earth alkali hydroxides.

The resulting alcohol derivative of the fluorinated olefin can be chemically oxidized with an oxidizing agent to the corresponding carboxylic acid. Examples of oxidizing agents include for example potassium permanganate, chromium (VI) oxide, RuO4 or OSO4 optionally in the presence of NaOCl, nitric acid/iron catalyst, dinitrogen tetroxide.

- Scrubber Composition
- In accordance with the present invention, the exhaust gas stream is contacted with a composition capable of at least partially removing the fluorinated carboxylic acid from the exhaust gas stream. For convenience, this composition will be referred to hereinafter as “scrubber composition”.
- In accordance with one embodiment, the scrubber composition is a scrubber liquid. The exhaust gas is typically contacted with the scrubber liquid at a temperature so as to maximize solubility of the fluorinated carboxylic acid in the scrubber liquid. A typical temperature range may be from 10° C. to 80° C. Scrubber liquids include aqueous liquids such as demineralized water, aqueous alkaline solutions and organic solvents such as for example glycol ether solvents. Suitable aqueous alkaline solutions include diluted alkali solution and high-density alkali solutions. The latter may cause the fluorinated carboxylic acid to separate out as a separate phase, thus allowing easy recovery and recycling of the fluorinated carboxylic acid.
- In a particular embodiment, the density of the alkaline scrubbing solution is set to a value which is higher than the density of the precipitating salts of fluorocarboxylic acids, so that these separate out as an upper phase on the high-density scrubbing solution in a settling tank and are ejected. The scrubbing solution may be taken off at the bottom and returned directly to the scrubbing process. The density of the alkaline scrubbing solution should generally be above 1.15 g/cm3, preferably above 1.3 g/cm3, depending on the temperature in the scrubber.
- Typically, the alkaline compound selected is typically an alkali metal hydroxide, preferably potassium hydroxide solution and in particular sodium hydroxide solution, the concentration being such that the density is above 1.15 g/cm3. With potassium hydroxide solution, this is generally the case at a concentration of above 16% and with sodium hydroxide solution this is generally the case at a concentration of above 14%. Mixtures of different alkalis are also possible.
- If lower concentrations of alkali metal hydroxide are desired, the scrubbing solution density of at least 1.15 g/cm3 can also be achieved by addition of a salt. Salts which may be used are quite generally inorganic compounds which do not form sparingly soluble hydroxides in the alkaline environment. These are, in particular, alkali metal salts such as sodium or potassium chloride, bromide or sulfate. However, since chloride ions can cause corrosion when metals are used as material for the work-up equipment, other salts, such as sulfates, are generally preferred to set the density of the scrubbing solution. Advantageously, a salt is selected having the same cation as the alkaline compound, when sodium hydroxide solution is used, therefore, preferably sodium sulfate. Mixtures of salts are also possible. The lighter, upper phase containing the salts of the highly fluorinated carboxylic acids occurs in the form of a salt paste to which alkaline aqueous medium, that is alkali metal hydroxide and, if appropriate, also the added salt, still adheres.
- In a particular embodiment, a potassium carbonate solution having a density of at least 1.15 g/cm3 is used as a scrubbing composition. The density may e.g. be from 1.2 to 1.4 g/cm3.
- If the upper phase which has separated out is collected, for example in a tank, it may be observed, that after standing for several hours, further enrichment of the salts of the highly fluorinated carboxylic acids occurs, by at least two phases forming again. By analysis, it is established in which phase the salts of the highly fluorinated carboxylic acids are contained and the other phases are preferably returned to the process.
- In a particular embodiment, an aqueous solution of alkali hydroxide having a concentration of the alkali hydroxide between 0.01 and 10% by weight, is used such as for example sodium or potassium hydroxide solutions.
- In another embodiment, demineralised water is used as the scrubber liquid. In this case, the scrubber solution is preferably recirculated until the fluorinated carboxylic acid concentration reaches about 500 to about 5000 parts per million by weight (ppm), more preferably about 1000 to about 4000 ppm, and most preferably about 2000 to about 3000 ppm. Foaming in the scrubber system typically provides a practical limit for the concentration of fluorinated carboxylic acid in the scrubber solution.
- The scrubber solution may then be concentrated. Preferably this is accomplished by passing the scrubber solution through one or more reverse-osmosis (RO) units to increase the concentration of fluorinated carboxylic acid to about 1 to about 35 wt. %, more preferably about 5 to about 30 wt. %, even more preferably about 10 to about 25 wt. %, and most preferably about 20±5 wt. %. The nature of the membrane in the RO units may require adjustment of the pH of the scrubber solution to operate efficiently. The resulting concentrated scrubber solution typically also contains several hundred ppm fluoride ion, and frequently has a colour that varies from light tan to brown, indicative of other impurities, including organic impurities.
- Therefore the recovered concentrated scrubber solution should preferably be contacted with alumina to reduce fluoride concentration. This may be done, for example, by passing the concentrated scrubber solution through a bed packed with alumina, the preferred method, or by slurrying the fluorinated carboxylic acid solution with alumina and then separating the solution from the alumina. This solution is referred to herein as recovered fluorinated carboxylic acid solution. The temperature of concentrated scrubber solution during the alumina treatment may be from about 5° C. to about 90° C., preferably about 10° C. to about 50° C., and more preferably about 15° C. to about 30° C. Contact time if the alumina bed method is used is somewhat dependent upon temperature but is in the range of about 5 to about 60 minutes. The concentrated scrubber solution feed to the alumina preferably has a pH of about 4 to about 7, more preferably at about 5 to about 6.
- The so obtained recovered fluorinated carboxylic acid may be re-used in the polymerization of fluorinated monomers.
- Alternatively, the scrubber solution, which may or may not have been concentrated, may be contacted with adsorbent particles to adsorb the fluorinated carboxylic acid from the scrubber solution. By the term ‘adsorbent particles’ in connection with the present invention is meant particles that are capable of physically adsorbing the fluorinated surfactant by whatever mechanism of physical adsorption including but not limited to ionic interactions causing physical adsorption. Accordingly, the term ‘adsorbent particles’ include ion exchange resins, which typically bind fluorinated surfactants having ionic groups as a result of an ion exchange process although the adsorption to the exchange resin may also occur by a physical adsorption process other than the ion exchange process.
- Suitable adsorbent particles further include activated carbon, silica gel, clays and zeolites. Conveniently used are activated carbon particles. The shape of the adsorbent particles is not particularly critical. For example, the adsorbent particles may have a plate shape, can be spherical, cylindrical or they can be rods. Also, adsorbent particles having a variety of different shapes may be used as a mixture. The size of the adsorbent particles is typically between 0.05 mm and 20 mm, generally between 0.1 and 10 mm. A practical range is between 0.5 and 5 mm. The adsorbent particles typically adsorb the fluorinated acid surfactant on their surface and it will thus generally be preferred to optimize the specific surface area of the particles, i.e. the amount of surface per unit of weight. Typically, the specific surface area of the adsorbent particles will be between 10 and 5000 m2/g, generally between 100 and 3000 m2/g with a practical range being from 300 to 2000 m2/g.
- Additionally, anion exchange resin particles can be used as adsorbent particles. Examples of anion exchange resin that can be used to adsorb a fluorinated carboxylic acid include strong, medium strong as well as weak basic anion exchange resins. The terms strong, medium strong and weak basic anion exchange resin are defined in “Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering”, John Wiley & Sons, 1985, Volume 8, page 347 and “Kirk-Othmer”, John Wiley & Sons, 3d edition, Volume 13, page 687. Strong basic anion exchange resin typically contain quaternary ammonium groups, medium strong resins usually have tertiary amine groups and weak basic resins usually have secondary amines as the anion exchange functions. Examples of anion exchange resins that are commercially available for use in this invention include AMBERLITE® IRA-402, AMBERJET® 4200, AMBERLITE® IRA-67 and AMBERLITE® IRA-92 all available from Rohm & Haas, PUROLITE® A845 (Purolite GmbH) and LEWATIT® MP-500 (Bayer AG).
- According to a further embodiment, an aqueous scrubber liquid may be used that includes a quaternary ammonium salt of the general formula:
R4N+A−
wherein each R-group independently represents a aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon group and wherein A− represents an anion. Typical R-groups include alkyl groups of 1 to 16 carbon atoms, aryl of 6-10 carbon atoms or aralkyl of 7-11 carbon atoms. Typically, the sum of the carbon atoms in the R-groups equals at least 15. Typically, the anion is a halide anion such as chloride or bromide but any other anion may be useful as well. - Typical examples of quaternary ammonium compounds according to the above formula are di-n-decyldimethylammonium chloride, hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride, n-tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium chloride, n-octyldodecyldimethylammonium chloride, and the like. Hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride is preferred. The analogous bromides may also be used. Typically, the ammonium compound will form the corresponding ammonium salt of the fluorinated carboxylic acid when the exhaust gas stream is contacted with a scrubber liquid containing the ammonium compound. The so formed ammonium salt of the fluorinated carboxylic acid may then be recovered from the scrubber solution by extraction with an organic solvent, typically a chlorinated solvent. In one embodiment, the extraction step is carried out simply by adding a chlorinated hydrocarbon liquid (liquid at ordinary room temperature, i.e., about 22° C.), e.g., di- or tri- chloromethane, and agitating at room temperature for a short time. The bulk of the quaternary ammonium salt transfers then into the chlorinated hydrocarbon organic layer.
- In a still further embodiment, the scrubber composition may comprise adsorbent particles such as disclosed above. In this embodiment, the exhaust gas stream is thus contacted with adsorbent particles to which the fluorinated carboxylic acid gets adsorbed. In a practical embodiment, the adsorbent particles include activated carbon particles, polyphenylenoxide (e.g. Tenax®), silica, clays and zeolites. In another embodiment, the adsorbent particles comprise an anion exchange resin. In the latter case, it will generally be preferred that the anion exchange resin be held in a wet state such that the fluorinated carboxylic acid can adsorb effectively on the anion exchange resin.
- Depending on the particular scrubber composition used, the fluorinated carboxylic acid may be recovered therefrom in a variety of ways and subsequently be purified by distillation and/or esterification to recycle the fluorinated carboxylic acid or salt thereof in a sufficiently pure form such that it can be re-used in the polymerization of fluorinated monomers. In one embodiment, the fluorinated carboxylic acid may be recovered from a scrubber solution by contacting the latter with adsorbent particles capable of adsorbing the fluorinated carboxylic acid. Suitable adsorbent particles include those mentioned above.
- The fluorinated carboxylic acids that are adsorbed on an adsorbent particle may be recovered therefrom by eluting the loaded adsorbent particles with an eluting liquid capable of desorbing and/or dissolving the fluorinated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof. The nature and composition of the eluting liquid typically depends on the nature of the adsorbent particles to which the fluorinated carboxylic acid is adsorbed and typically includes an organic solvent.
- In one embodiment, the fluorinated carboxylic acid may be recovered from strongly, medium strong or weak basic anion exchange resin particles. The terms strong, medium strong and weak basic anion exchange resin are defined in “Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering”, John Wiley & Sons, 1985, volume 8, page 347 and “Kirk-Othmer”, John Wiley & Sons, 3rd edition, Volume 13, page 687. Strong basic anion exchange resins typically contain quaternary ammonium groups, medium strong resins usually have tertiary amine groups and weak basic resins usually have secondary amines as the anion exchange functions.
- Suitable eluting liquids for eluting the fluorinated carboxylic acids from basic anion exchange resin particles include a mixture of a mineral acid and a water miscible organic solvent. Suitable mineral acids are all those the anions of which confer a salt form upon the anion exchanger (anion form) which is appropriate to the further adsorption of fluorinated emulsifying acids. Under the conditions of elution their oxidation strength should generally be so low that the anion exchanger will not be damaged oxidatively. Mineral acids that can be used include, for example ortho-, meta-, and diphosphoric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid and preferably hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.
- Suitable organic solvents include polar organic solvents such as alcohols, aliphatic or aromatic ethers, nitriles, amides, sulfoxides, ketones and carboxylic acid esters. Preferred solvents include those that are substantially miscible with water, i.e. miscible to at least 40% by volume when mixing equal volumes, or solvents that are completely miscible with water. Solvents of this type are especially aliphatic alcohols having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, preferably methanol and ethanol, as well as mono- and dimethyl ethers and mono- and diethyl ethers of ethylene glycol or of the corresponding monoethers of polyglycols having a chain length up to that of decaethylene glycol. It is likewise possible to use mixtures of the aforesaid solvents.
- A typical eluting liquid may be prepared from the mineral acid and the organic solvent to be used, the acid concentration of which, calculated on the total mixture, is adjusted in the range of from 0.5 to 10 N, preferably 0.5 to 2 N. In said mixture the proportion of mineral acid (including the water portion) to solvent ranges from 1:0.25 to 1:20, preferably 1:3 to 1:10 parts by volume.
- For a quantitative elution of the adsorbed fluorinated carboxylic acids 50 to 500 and preferably 100 to 225 parts by volume, calculated on 100 parts of anion exchanger matrix, of the mixture of mineral acid and organic solvent is typically used.
- When the elution is terminated the eluate may separate into two layers of which the lower layer having the higher specific gravity contains practically the entire amount of fluorinated carboxylic acid. The lower layer may neutralized with dilute, usually 2 N sodium hydroxide solution and the fluorinated carboxylic acid is typically precipitated in compact form and easy to separate by adding the neutralized phase while stirring to dilute hydrochloric acid.
- In another embodiment the eluting mixture for the elution of fluorinated carboxylic acid adsorbed to an anion exchange resin comprises a) water, b) a compound of the formula M-X in which M is an alkali metal or alkyl ammonium ion, and X is hydroxyl, fluoride or chloride, and c) at least one organic solvent capable of dissolving the other components a) and b) and thus provides a sufficient quantity of anions X for the elution of the fluorinated carboxylic acid from the anion exchanger resin.
- In a particular aspect of this embodiment, the eluting liquid has the following composition:
-
- a) from 15 to 40% of water,
- b) from 1 to 10 of the compound M-A, and
- c) from 60 to 70% of the solvent.
- In another aspect, the eluting mixture has the following composition:
- a) from 18 to 35% of water,
- b) from 2 to 8% of M-A, and
- c) from 60 to 70% of solvent.
- Useful solvents include those mentioned above. Suitable cations M include lithium, sodium, potassium, tetramethylammonium and tetraethylammonium, and the preferred anion A is hydroxyl.
- In yet a further embodiment, the fluorinated carboxylic acid may be recovered from a strongly basic anion exchange resin using an eluting liquid comprising an ammonium salt and a water miscible organic solvent. The ammonium salt is typically one that corresponds to the general formula:
(NH4)nA
wherein A represents an anion other than OH− and n equals the valence of A. Examples of anions A include inorganic as well as organic anions. Particular examples of inorganic anions include halogen or halogen containing inorganic anions such as for example F−, Cl−, Br−, I−, ClO4 −, phosphates, sulfates, sulphonates, carbonates including HCO3 − and CO3 2−. Examples of organic anions include in particular carboxylic anions such as for example HCOO− and CH3COO−. - The amount of ammonium salt in the eluting liquid will generally depend on the nature of the anion exchange resin and the amount of fluorinated carboxylic acid adsorbed on the anion exchange resin and/or the percentage of recovery that is desired. A suitable amount of ammonium salt is generally at least 0.1% by weight. According to a particular embodiment, the amount of ammonium salt is between 0.1 and 5% by weight based on the total weight of the composition used for eluting the exchange resin.
- The eluting composition further includes a water-miscible solvent. By ‘water miscible solvent’ is generally meant an organic solvent that has solubility in water of at least 5% by weight, for example at least 10% by weight or at least 20% by weight. Suitable water-miscible solvents are typically polar solvents including for example alcohols, ketones, ethers and mixtures thereof. Particular examples of solvents include lower alkanols having between 1 and 6 carbon atoms such as for example methanol, ethanol and propanol; glycols, mono- and dialkyl ethers or monoglycol and diglycol wherein the alkyl groups have between 1 and 4 carbon atoms; ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone. The amount of water miscible organic may vary widely but should generally be enough to dissolve the ammonium salt. The amount of water-miscible organic solvent is generally at least 50% by weight of the total weight of the eluting composition. Exemplary ranges are 50 to 99.9% by weight, or between 60 and 90% by weight or between 90 and 98% by weight.
- The eluting liquid comprising the ammonium salt and a water-miscible solvent may contain further components that may aid in the recovery of the fluorinated carboxylic acid from the anion exchange resin. In one particular embodiment, the eluting composition further comprises water. Water may for example be used in the eluting composition in an amount of up to 45% by weight, for example in an amount of 0.1 to 40% by weight or in amount between 1 and 15% by weight or in an amount between 4 and 10% by weight.
- A further component that may be present in the eluting liquid is a base. Suitable bases that may be used are alkali metal hydroxides such as for example sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. Other bases that may be used include earth alkali metal hydroxides, aluminium hydroxide or alcolates such as for example sodium methylate. When present, the amount of base included in the composition is generally up to about 5% by weight. An exemplary range is from 0.1 to 5% or from 0.5 to 2% by weight.
- Further eluting liquids include those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,642,415 and EP 1,323,677. The latter discloses eluting liquids comprising an alkaline mixture of water and an organic solvent. An aqueous ammonia solution as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,882,153 may also be used.
- According to a further embodiment, the fluorinated carboxylic acid may be recovered by mixing the adsorbent particles with an alcohol and optionally an acid. The mixture is then generally heated to cause esterification of the fluorinated carboxylic acid with the alcohol so as to form an ester derivative of the fluorinated carboxylic acid. The so obtained mixture may then be distilled to form a distillate comprising the ester derivative followed by separation of the ester derivative from the distillate. Generally, the eluting liquid will also comprise water.
- Suitable alcohols that may be used include in particular lower aliphatic alcohols having 1 to 5 carbon atoms such as methanol, ethanol and propanol. However aromatic alcohols may be used as well. Additionally, the alcohol may be added under the form of a precursor of the alcohol. Such a precursor should however form an alcohol under the conditions used to cause the esterification. Suitable precursors of the alcohol may include compounds such as ketals that readily form a corresponding alcohol under the acidic conditions existing in the eluting liquid or mixture thereof with the adsorbent particles. The acid used with the eluting fluid is preferably an inorganic acid but the use of organic acids is not excluded. Also, the acid is preferably a strong acid such as for example sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid or nitric acid. The amount and nature of the acid used is typically such that a pH of less than 4, preferably not more than 3 and more preferably not more than 2 is attained in the mixture of eluting liquid and adsorbent particles.
- Depending on the amount of water present in the distillate the ester derivative may separate out as a separate phase, typically the lower phase, from the remainder of the distillate. Thus the ester derivative can be easily separated from the distillate and the remainder of the distillate can be re-introduced into the mixture being distilled. Such a circulating regeneration process thus allows a convenient regeneration of the adsorbent particles with a minimal amount of eluting fluid being needed. The received ester can be further purified by distilllation and is than converted to the fluorinated acid salt by saponification typically with ammonia. The eluated purified fluorinated carboxylic acid salt will typically have a purity sufficient to allow use of the compound in emulsion polymerization of fluorinated monomers. The adsorbent particles can be regenerated several times before their efficiency drops below an uneconomical level at which point the adsorbent particles need to be disposed of.
- The aforementioned elution methods may of course also be used in cases where the scrubber composition itself comprises adsorbent particles.
- Following their recovery, the fluorinated carboxylic acids can be purified to the desired high purity enabling re-use of the fluorinated carboxylic acid in an aqueous emulsion polymerization. A suitable purification method is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,312,935. Herein the liberated and dewatered carboxylic acids are treated with oxidants like dichromates, peroxodisulfates or permanganates at a temperature of about 60° C. to the boiling point of the mixture. The pure product is then isolated by crystallization e.g. at low temperature or preferably by distillation if desired under reduced pressure. Alternatively, the method of WO2004/031141 may be used.
- Test Method:
- Content of Fluorinated Carboxylic Acid
- The amount of fluorinated carboxylic acid in aqueous solution was determined by conversion of the fluorinated emulsifier into the methyl ester followed by an analysis with gas chromatography (head space) using methyl ester of perfluorodecanoic acid as an internal standard. The detection limit was about 10 ppm.
- Particle Size
- The latex particle size determination was conducted by means of dynamic light scattering with a Malvern Zetazizer 1000 HAS in accordance to ISO/DIS 13321. Prior to the measurements, the polymer latexes as yielded from the polymerizations were diluted with 0.001 mol/L KCl-solution, the measurement temperature was 25° C. in all cases. The reported average is the Z-average particle diameter.
-
- SSG: Standard specific gravity was measured according ASTM 4894-04
- Solid Content: Determination of solid content was done by subjecting the latex sample to a temperature up to 250° C. for 30 min.
Polymerization of Fluorinated Monomers (Fluoroolefin) using a Fluorinated Carboxylic Acid
- The polymerization experiments were performed in a 40 l kettle equipped with an impeller agitator and a baffle. The kettle was charged with 30 l of deionized water and set to 35° C.; the kettle was evacuated repeatedly to remove oxygen; Agitation speed was set to 165 rpm. The oxygen free kettle was charged with 70 mmol fluorinated emulsifier (unless specified differently) as listed in table 3 and the following materials were added: 0.5 ml of a solution containing 40 mg of copper sulphate penta hydrate and 1 mg of conc. sulphuric acid; 15 g of a 25 w-% of aqueous ammonia solution and 5.6 g of CF3CF2CF2—O—CF(CF3)—CF2—O—CF═CF2 (PPVE-2). Finally the reactor was pressurized with tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) to 0.2 MPa and 47 g of hexafluoropropylene (HFP) were added. The kettle was then set to 1.5 MPa using TFE and 100 ml of an aqueous initiator solution containing 140 mg of sodium disulfite followed by 100 ml of a solution containing 340 mg of ammonium peroxodisulfate was pumped into the reactor. The beginning of the polymerization is indicated by a pressure drop. During polymerization the pressure was maintained at 1.5 MPa by feeding TFE continuously. After 3.2 kg of TFE had been added, the monomer valve was closed and the pressure was released. The characteristics of the obtained polymer latices are summarized in table 3.
- 1000 ml of this polymer dispersion were coagulated by adding 20 ml hydrochloric acid under agitation. The coagulated material was agglomerated with gasoline and washed repeatedly. The agglomerated polymer was dried overnight at 200° C. in a vacuum oven; test data are given in table 3.

Preparation of Compound 1: CF3OCF2CF2CF2OCF2COONH4 - Oxidation of perfluorinated vinyl ethers with oxygen in the presence of SbF5 was carried out as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,987,254. The initially formed acid fluorides were esterified with methanol and purified by distillation. The distilled esters were converted to the corresponding ammonium salts by saponification with aqueous ammonia. A dry flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer bar, thermometer, dry ice reflux condenser, dropping funnel, and gas inlet tube was charged with 5 g of graphite. The flask was flushed with nitrogen and 332 g of CF3OCF2CF2CF2OCF═CF2 were added at room temperature. 2.6 g of SbF5 was added via the dropping funnel and oxygen was charged to the flask at ambient pressure. An exothermic reaction indicated the oxidation. Total reaction time was 14 h. After the first hour 2.6 g and after 7 hours 3.5 g of SbF5 were added. Esterification was achieved by slow addition of 50 g of methanol to the reaction mixture. The resulting ester was isolated from the batch by flash distillation after addition of 300 g water and 50 g methanol. The distillate formed two phases. The lower phase was separated and the upper phase retuned to the flask. 310 g of lower phase were collected. GC analysis showed a content of 52% of CF3OCF2CF2CF2OCF2COOCH3. Purification via fractionated distillation resulted in 144 g pure ester with a boiling point of 51° C. at 52 mbar. CF3OCF2CF2COOCH3 was isolated as by product. Saponification of the ester with aqueous ammonia at 60-80° C. and removal of methanol by distillation resulted in an aqueous solution of CF3OCF2CF2CF2OCF2COONH4. All structures were confirmed by F-NMR spectra.
- Preparation of Compound 5: CF3CF2CF2OCF2COONH4
- Using the procedures described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,987,254, CF3CF2CF2OCF═CF2 was converted to CF3CF2CF2OCF2COOCH3 (bp 102-104° C.). Saponification with aqueous ammonia and removal of methanol by distillation resulted in an aqueous solution of CF3CF2CF2OCF2COONH4. Structures were confirmed by F-NMR spectra.
- Preparation of Compound 17: CF3CF2CF2OCHFCOONH4
- A 2 liter glass flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermometer and reflux condenser (−80° C.) is used. Heating of the flask is provided by an electric heating mantle. The conversion is carried out as a one pot reaction. 275 g perfluoropropyl vinyl ether (PPVE), 280 g KOH, 602 g water, 151 g t-butanol, and 10 g methyl trioctyl ammonium chloride are placed in the flask. The three phase mixture is subjected to vigorous stirring. After initial heating a moderate exothermic reaction occours. Mixing is continued for nine hours. During this time the internal temperature adjusts to 27-33° C. Mixing is stopped when the exothermic reaction ceases. The reaction mixture forms two layers. The low temperature reflux condenser is replaced by a standard reflux condenser. Sulfuric acid (392 g) is slowly added without external cooling. The batch is heated to reflux. Unreacted PPVE is vented. At about 80° C. internal temperature gas begins to evolve. Heating is continued until the gas evolution has ceased. At this time the internal temperature reaches 101° C. The batch is cooled to RT and the reflux condenser is replaced by a distillation device. No column is used. 110 g methanol is added to the batch and distillation is started. The condensed vapors form two layers. The lower layer is separated and the upper layer is returned to the flask. Distillation is stopped when no more lower phase is formed. In total, 234 g of lower phase are collected. Fractionation of the lower phase yields 167 g of C3F70CHFCOOCH3 with a boiling point of 120-122° C. at ambient pressure.
- Calculated yield: 59% based on total PPVE used; 70% based on converted PPVE.
- The ester is converted to the ammonium salt by reaction with aqueous ammonia. Methanol is removed by fractionated distillation. The resulting aqueous solution is used as an emulsifier in the polymerization of fluorinated olefins.
- Preparation of Compound 12: CF3OCF2CF2CF2OCHFCOONH4
- A glass flask equipped with a reflux condenser, thermometer, and magnetic stirrer was used. Perfluoromethoxy propyl vinyl ether (498 g), t-butanol (149 g), water (1007 g), potassium hydroxide (280 g), and methyl trioctyl ammonium chloride (10 g) were added to the flask. The resulting two phase mixture was heated to reflux for 16 hours under vigorous stirring. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and sulphuric acid (588 g) was added. The two phase mixture was heated again under vigorous stirring. At about 70° C. gas began to evolve. Heating was continued until the gas evolution ceased. The reflux condenser was replaced by a distillation device which allowed the separation of a lower phase while returning the upper phase to the flask. Methanol (150 g) was added and the mixture was heated for distillation. Distillation was carried out at ambient pressure without any intent for rectification. The condensed vapors separated into two phases. The lower phase was collected and the upper phase was returned to the flask. Distillation was continued until no more lower phase separated from the condensate. The combined crude ester (493 g) was purified by fractionated distillation, resulting in 401 g CF3O(CF2)3OCHFCOOCH3 with a boiling point of 51 to 52° C./22 mbar. This corresponds to a yield of 78%, based on vinyl ether used. The ester was converted to the ammonium salt by heating with aqueous ammonia and removal of methanol by fractionated distillation.
- Alternatively, the previous reaction was repeated but 36 g of an aqueous solution containing 11 g of CF3O(CF2)3OCHFCOONH4 was used as phase transfer catalyst instead of methyl trioctyl ammonium chloride. The mixture was slowly heated to 70° C. internal temperature. Total reaction time was 26 hours. Work up was carried out as described above. 438 g of distilled CF3O(CF2)3OCHFCOOCH3 was received. This corresponds to a yield of 83% (calculation includes the amount of phase transfer catalyst).

The temperature is held below 50° C. Residual permanganate was destroyed by addition of a small amount of methanol. The resulting slurry was filtered to remove the MnO2. After washing the filter cake with water, the combined filtrate was transferred to a distillation apparatus and acidified with 65 g of sulfuric acid. 100 g methanol was added and a flash distillation was started. The distillate formed two layers. The lower layer was separated and the upper layer returned to the distillation pot. In total 182 g lower layer were collected. Fractionation of the crude ester resulted in 137 g of C3F7OCHFCF2COOCH3 with a boiling point of 55-56° C./52 mbar. This corresponds to a yield of 77%.

The reaction temperature increased to 95° C. over time. After a post reaction time of two hours, an aqueous solution of sodium bisulfite was added until a clear solution was formed. 100 g of methanol and in total 400 g of 50% aqueous sulphuric acid were added. Flash distillation of the reaction mixture resulted in a two phase distillate. Fractionation of the lower phase (120 g) gave 85.5 g of CF3O(CF2)3OCHFCF2COOCH3 (bp 34-35° C./6 mbar; yield 50%).
- The ester was converted to the ammonium salt by saponification with aqueous ammonia and subsequent removal of methanol by distillation.
- Preparation of Compound 6
- CH3—O—CF2—CF2—COOCH3 was fluorinated as described in WO 01/46116; the acid fluoride CF3—O—CF2—CF2—COF was then converted into the methylester. The distilled ester was converted into the ammonia-salt as described above.
- Preparation of Compound 14: CF3—CFH—O—(CF2)5COONH4
- A sample of diacid fluoride, FCOCF(CF3)—O—(CF2)5COF (500 g, 1.1 mol) prepared from the hexafluoropropylene oxide (HFPO) coupling of perfluoroadipoyl fluoride as described in U.S. Publ. No. 2004/0116742 and was added over 2 hours to a stirred slurry of sodium carbonate (500 g, 4.7 mol) in 500 g of diglyme at 85° C. to make the disalt. The reaction liberated CO2 gas. Distilled water (25 g, 1.4 mol) was added at 85° C. The mixture was heated up to 168° C. with CO2 off-gassing and held for 30 minutes. Reaction was cooled down and sulphuric acid (350 g, 3.6 mol) in 1100 g of water was added to make the reaction mixture acidic.

- Preparation of Compound 15: CF3—CFH—O(CF2)3COONH4
- A sample of diacid fluoride, FCOCF(CF3)—O—(CF2)3COF (503 g, 1.4 mol) prepared from the HFPO coupling of perfluorosuccinyl fluoride as described in U.S. Publ. No. U.S. Publ. 2004/0116742 and was added over 2 hours to a stirred slurry of sodium carbonate (387 g, 3.7 mol) in 650 g of diglyme at 78° C. to make the disalt. The reaction liberated CO2 gas. Distilled water (35 g, 1.9 mol) was added at 85° C. The mixture was heated up to 165° C. with CO2 off-gassing and held for 30 minutes. Reaction was cooled down and sulphuric acid (250 g, 2.6 mol) in 1250 g of water was added to make the reaction mixture acidic. To the bottom phase was added 60 g NaOH in 60 g of water. Dried the salt in vacuum oven at 112° C./15 mm and recovered 450 g. To the salt was added 300 g of 50% sulphuric acid and the lower fluorochemical phase was washed once with 200 g of 50% sulphuric acid. Vacuum distillation gave CF3—CFH—O—(CF2)3COOH (400 g, 1.3 mol) for a 95% yield having a boiling point of 111° C./15 mm Hg. The acid was treated with caustic followed by sulphuric acid and vacuum distilled. This was repeated a second time to yield a colorless acid. The surfactant CF3—CFH—O—(CF2)3COO—NH4 having a melting point of 64-68° C. was made quantitatively from the reaction of 208 g of acid reacted with excess ammonium hydroxide and dried.
- Preparation of Compound C-3:
- Conversion of CF3CF2CF2OCF(CF3)CF2OCF═CF2 to CF3CF2CF2OCF(CF3)CF2OCF2COOCH3 (bp 91-92° C. at 133 mbar) was carried out as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,987,254. The ester was reacted with aqueous ammonia and methanol was removed by distillation resulting in CF3CF2CF2OCF(CF3)CF2OCF2COONH4. All structures were confirmed by F-NMR spectra. Due to an isomer content in the vinyl ether, an isomer with the structure CF3CF2CF2OCF2CF(CF3)OCF2COOX (X═CH3, NH4) was found.
- Preparation of Compound 16: C3F7—O—C2HF3—O—CH2—COONH4
- A mixture of 320 ml Tetrahydrofurane, 40 g Hydroxy acetic methylester and 188 g PPVE is cooled to 0° C., 27 g KOH-powder are added in small portions—during the addition of KOH, the reaction mixture heats up to 60° C. After the addition of KOH, the whole reaction mixture is agitated for 6 h at 25° C. The precipitated salt is separated by filtration, dissolved in 300 ml water and then treated with 57 g H2SO4 (conc). The resulting mixture separates in two layers; the lower phase is C3F7—O—C2HF3—O—CH2—COOH, 86 g (56%). The distilled acid (bp. 125° C., 20 mbar) is neutralized with 25% aqueous ammonia solution to provide a 30% solution in water.
- Compounds 2, 3, 4 were prepared from the corresponding carboxylic acids (purchased from Anles Ltd. St. Petersburg, Russia) by neutralizing with aqueous ammonia.
- Compounds 7, 8, 10 were prepared from the corresponding carboxylic acid fluorides (˜COF) [purchased from Exfluor, Round Rock, Tex., USA]. The acid fluorides were converted by addition of methanol to the methylester. The distillated methylester were saponified with aqueous ammonia at 60-80° C. and methanol is removed by distillation.
- Compound C-2 was prepared as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,703,520 (column 7).
- Determination of bio-accumulation
- The perfluorinated and partially fluorinated carboxylates were evaluated for urinary clearance using a pharmacokinetic study in rats. The goal was to measure the total amount of parent compound eliminated via urinary output and estimate the rate of elimination. The study was approved by the IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees) and was performed in 3M Company's AAALAC (Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care) accredited facility.
- The study utilized male Sprague Dawley rats, 6 to 8 weeks of age, and approximately 200 to 250 g body weight at study onset. The test compounds of table 2 were administered at a dose of 73 micro Moles per kg body weight in rats (N=3 animals per tested compound). All test compounds were prepared in sterile deionized water and given to rats via oral gavage. After test compounds administration, the rats were housed individually in metabolism cages for urine collection: 0 to 6 hours, 6 to 24 hours, 24 to 48 hours and 72 to 96 hours. Animals were observed throughout the study for clinical signs of toxicity. Gross necropsy was performed at the termination of each study (96 hours post-dose) with sera and liver samples being retained from each animal.
- The concentration of the parent compound or metabolites thereof were quantitatively measured via fluorine NMR on each urine sample for each animal at each time point based on internally added standards.
- The bioaccumulation data obtained in accordance with the above test are reported in table 2 below.

No parent compound observed in the urine. T½ and % recovery are based on elimination of the major metabolite - C3F7—O—CHFCOO−. T1/2 is the renal half-life and is the time required for the amount of a particular substance in a biological system to be reduced to one half of its
# value by biological processes when the rate of removal is approximately exponential. In these examples the value of T1/2 is calculated by exponential least squares curve fitting (y = AeBx and T1/2 = 0.693/B) where y represents the concentration of analyte in urine and x represents time in hours. -

Recovery from Exhaust Gas - 1.2 liter of a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dispersion with a solid content of 22.3% by weight, a latex particle diameter (Z-average) of 180 nm according to dynamic light scattering, containing about 1900 ppm (or 2.3 g) of 2,4,6 trioxa-perfluoro-octanoate (CF3—(OCF2)3—COONH4), herein called fluorinated emulsifier, was coagulated by adding 220 ml of water containing 50 ml of conc. HCl under vigorous stirring. Another 900 ml of water were added after coagulation and the liquid phase was decantated. The remaining agglomerate was washed again with 900 ml of water and decantated. GC-analysis of the combined fractions of washing water showed an emulsifier content of 24 ppm or 1.7% of the total amount of fluorinated emulsifier present in the raw dispersion.
- The wet agglomerate containing about 276 g solids and 280 g water was transferred into a 4 l flask and heated. A slight nitrogen stream was flushed through the flask in a range of 5 to 15 l/h. The nitrogen stream leaving the flask was conducted through 4 gas wash-bottles in series, each containing a sodium hydroxide solution (10% by weight). After heating for about one hour the temperature inside the flask reached 100° C. and the amount of solution in the first wash bottle increased due to evaporation. The first wash bottle had to be cooled by ice-water. The agglomerate was then heated for another 3.5 hours until the product reached a temperature of 260° C. The drying process was stopped and the fluorocarboxylic acid content in the wash bottles was measured (see table 4). The overall recovery of fluorinated carboxylic acid from off-gas was determined to be higher than 80%.
