Black fatty acids

These problems can be dealt with by usiag artificial test cloths impregnated with various approximations of natural soils such as vacuum cleaner dust, dirt from air conditioner filters, clays, carbon black, fatty acids, dirty motor oil, and artificial sebum, either alone or ia combination (37,94—98). The soils are appHed by sprayiag, immersion, or padding. If the soils are carefully appHed, reproducible results can be obtained. Soil test cloths can be of great help ia detergency studies, when used with an understanding of their limitations. 

In the initial black Hquor concentration, saponified fatty and resin acid salts separate as tall oil soaps (see Tall oil). These soaps can be skimmed from the aqueous spent Hquor, acidified, and refined to give a cmde tall oil composed of resin acids, chiefly abietic and neoabietic fatty acids, chiefly oleic and Hnoleic and an unsaponifiable fraction made of phytosterols, alcohols, and hydrocarbons. Tall oil is fractionated primarily into fatty acids (see... 

Black Liquor Soap Recovery. Black Hquor soap consists of the sodium salts of the resin and fatty acids with small amounts of unsaponifiables. The soap is most easily separated from the black Hquor by skimming at an intermediate stage, when the black Hquor is evaporated to 25% soHds (7). At this soHds level, the soap rises in the skimmer at a rate of 0.76 m/h. At higher soHds concentrations, the tall oil soap is less soluble, but higher viscosity lowers the soap rise rate and increases the necessary residence times in the soap skimmer beyond 3—4 hours. The time required for soap recovery can be reduced by installing baffles, by the use of chemical flocculants (8,9), and by air injection into the suction side of the soap skimmer feed pump. Soap density is controUed by the rate of air injection. Optimum results (70% skimmer efficiency) are obtained at a soap density of 0.84 kg/L (7 lb/gal). This soap has a minimum residual black Hquor content of 15% (10—12). 

Black Liquor Soap Acidulation. Only two-thirds of a typical black Hquor soap consists of the sodium salts of fatty acids and resin acids (rosin). These acids are layered in a Hquid crystal fashion. In between these layers is black Hquor at the concentration of the soap skimmer, with various impurities, such as sodium carbonate, sodium sulfide, sodium sulfate, sodium hydroxide, sodium Hgnate, and calcium salts. This makes up the remaining one-third of the soap. Cmde tall oil is generated by acidifying the black Hquor soap with 30% sulfuric acid to a pH of 3. This is usually done in a vessel at 95°C with 20—30 minutes of vigorous agitation. Caution should be taken to scmb the hydrogen sulfide from the exhaust gas. 

Substitution of some of the alkoxy groups on the polytitanoxanes with glycols, P-diketones or P-ketoesters, fatty acids, diester phosphates or pyrophosphates, and sulfonic acids gives a group of products that are very effective surface-treating agents for carbon black, graphite, or fibers (32). 

Minor uses of vanadium chemicals are preparation of vanadium metal from refined pentoxide or vanadium tetrachloride Hquid-phase organic oxidation reactions, eg, production of aniline black dyes for textile use and printing inks color modifiers in mercury-vapor lamps vanadyl fatty acids as driers in paints and varnish and ammonium or sodium vanadates as corrosion inhibitors in flue-gas scmbbers. 

Adsorption. Many studies have been made of the adsorption of soaps and synthetic surfactants on fibers in an attempt to relate detergency behavior to adsorption effects. Relatively fewer studies have been made of the adsorption of surfactants by soils (57). Plots of the adsorption of sodium soaps by a series of carbon blacks and charcoals show that the fatty acid and the alkaU are adsorbed independently, within limits, although the presence of excess aLkaU reduces the sorption of total fatty acids (58). No straightforward relationship was noted between detergency and adsorption.

Vegetable oil-based inks today offered in Germany are mainly for the heatset printing colours cyan, magenta, yellow and to a lesser extent black. The use of fatty acid alkyl esters as high-boiling solvents in offset inks as substitution of mineral oils is also practised [23]. 

Although not of fatty acid origin another group of scarab beetles utilizes amino acid derivatives as pheromones [119]. The large black chafer, Holotrichia parallela, uses L-isoleucine methyl ester [ 120] and the cranberry white grub, Phyllophaga anxia, uses both L-isoleucine and i.-valine methyl esters [121]. More recently L-isoleucine methyl ester, N-formyl L-isoleucine methyl ester, and N-acetyl L-isoleucine methyl ester were identified in the scarab beetle Phyllophaga elenans [ 122]. These pheromone components are obviously derived from the amino acids isoleucine and valine.
