Description
Procédé pour empêcher Poxydation d'articles placés dans un récipient fermé hermétiquement
La présente invention se rapporte à l'emballage hermétique d'articles dans des récipients imperméables, par exemple en métal ou en matière plastique, qui sont étanches à l'eau ou imperméables à l'humidité, rigides ou flexibles. L'invention a pour but principal de procurer un procédé pour empêcher l'oxydation de ces articles dans ces récipients pendant le transport et le stockage.
La présente invention a donc pour objet un procédé pour empêcher l'oxydation d'articles placés dans un récipient fermé hermétiquement. Ce procédé est caractérisé en ce que l'on utilise un récipient contenant un catalyseur, un composé qui, en présence du catalyseur, réagit avec l'oxygène présent dans le récipient en produisant de la vapeur d'eau, et un déshydratant qui absorbe la vapeur d'eau, la quantité de catalyseur et celle dudit composé étant suffisantes pour que sensiblement la totalité de l'oxygène présent dans le récipient soit transformée en vapeur d'eau, et la quantité de déshydratant étant suffisante pour qu'il absorbe toute la vapeur d'eau produite par ladite réaction.
Le catalyseur peut consister en charbon platiné et le déshydratant peut consister en sulfate de calcium. Dans une forme d'exécution préférée de l'invention, le catalyseur et le déshydratant sont mélangés et sont placés dans un unique récipient poreux.
Le composé peut par exemple être de l'alcool méthylique ou du formiate de méthyle.
Pour mettre en oeuvre le procédé selon l'invention, on place les articles, par exemple des roulements à billes ou à rouleaux, des instruments scientifiques ou du caoutchouc naturel, dans un récipient qui s'ouvre par le haut, par exemple une boîte en métal, et on place dans ce récipient un petit sachet en matière plastique poreuse, contenant un mélange d'un catalyseur approprié, qui est de préférence du charbon platiné, et d'un déshydratant.
On introduit ensuite une petite quantité d'alcool méthylique dans le récipient de toute manière appropriée, par exemple au moyen d'une burette ou d'une seringue ou par pulvérisation. On ferme alors l'ouverture supérieure du récipient au moyen de l'organe de fermeture prévu à cet effet, de telle manière que le récipient soit rendu hermétique. Une réaction se produit rapidement et est probablement terminée en l'espace de quelques heures, la vapeur d'eau produite par cette réaction étant absorbée par le déshydratant. I1 est avantageux que le déshydratant soit aussi proche que possible de la source de production de vapeur d'eau, sans quoi une condensation temporaire pourrait se produire sur les articles se trouvant dans le récipient.
Pour cette raison, il est préférable que le catalyseur et le déshydratant soient mélangés et contenus dans une enveloppe poreuse unique. Le procédé décrit ci-dessus permet de créer et de maintenir dans le récipient une atmosphère contenant moins de 1 O/o d'oxygène. Dans ces conditions une oxydation des articles ne peut pas se produire.
I1 est entendu que la quantité de catalyseur et celle du composé sont choisies en fonction du volume du récipient de manière à être suffisantes pour que sensiblement la totalité de l'oxygène présent dans le récipient soit transformée en vapeur d'eau, et que la quantité de déshydratant est choisie de manière que toute la vapeur d'eau produite par la réaction soit absorbée.
N'importe quel déshydratant approprié peut être employé, par exemple du gel de silice ou du charbon actif, et le choix du déshydratant peut dépendre du type de composé employé. Ainsi, lorsque le composé employé est l'alcool méthylique, il est préférable que le déshydratant soit du sulfate de calcium, car il est probable que le gel de silice ou le charbon actif puisse absorber l'alcool méthylique fortement polaire, et soit ainsi susceptible de bloquer la réaction désirée ou d'en diminuer la vitesse.
Il est également entendu que, lors du choix du déshydratant, on veillera à éviter l'emploi d'un déshydratant qui, comme le chlorure de calcium, se combine chimique ment avec le composé (alcool méthylique), ou l'emploi d'un déshydratant qui, comme le pentoxyde de phosphore, les alcalis caustiques et d'autres déshydratants solubles, produit un résidu fortement corrosif.
Si désiré, le composé employé peut être le formiate de méthyle, mais l'alcool méthylique est préféré, car le formiate de méthyle nécessitè l'emploi d'une plus grande quantité de catalyseur.
D'autre part, le catalyseur peut être un métal autre que le platine, par exemple il peut être du palladium ou du rhodium, et le support du catalyseur peut être autre que du charbon, par exemple il peut être de l'alumine, de la silice ou du carbonate de calcium.
Dans le cas des articles ferreux, on peut obtenir une protection complémentaire contre l'oxydation en ajoutant au composé un agent empêchant ou réduisant la corrosion. Ces inhibiteurs chimiques ont pour effet d'entourer les articles de leur vapeur, qui inhibe ainsi la corrosion. Certains nitrites organiques, par exemple le nitrite de dicyclohexylamine, sont des exemples de telles substances, qui sont connues sous le nom d'inhibiteurs en phase vapeur. Ces inhibiteurs sont facilement solubles dans l'alcool méthylique ou dans le formiate de méthyle et peuvent donc être introduits dans le récipient avec ceux-ci.
Method for preventing oxidation of articles placed in a hermetically sealed container
The present invention relates to the hermetic packaging of articles in impermeable containers, for example made of metal or plastic, which are watertight or moisture impermeable, rigid or flexible. The main object of the invention is to provide a method for preventing the oxidation of these articles in these containers during transport and storage.
The present invention therefore relates to a method for preventing the oxidation of articles placed in a hermetically sealed container. This process is characterized in that one uses a vessel containing a catalyst, a compound which, in the presence of the catalyst, reacts with the oxygen present in the vessel to produce water vapor, and a desiccant which absorbs the water. water vapor, the quantity of catalyst and that of said compound being sufficient so that substantially all of the oxygen present in the container is converted into water vapor, and the quantity of desiccant being sufficient for it to absorb all the water vapor produced by said reaction.
The catalyst may be platinized carbon and the desiccant may be calcium sulfate. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the catalyst and the desiccant are mixed and are placed in a single porous container.
The compound can, for example, be methyl alcohol or methyl formate.
To carry out the method according to the invention, the articles, for example ball or roller bearings, scientific instruments or natural rubber, are placed in a container which opens from the top, for example a box made of metal, and in this container is placed a small bag of porous plastic material, containing a mixture of a suitable catalyst, which is preferably platinized carbon, and a desiccant.
A small amount of methyl alcohol is then introduced into the container in any suitable manner, for example by means of a burette or syringe or by spraying. The upper opening of the container is then closed by means of the closure member provided for this purpose, so that the container is made airtight. A reaction occurs quickly and is probably complete within a few hours, with the water vapor produced by this reaction being absorbed by the desiccant. It is advantageous if the desiccant is as close as possible to the source of water vapor generation, otherwise temporary condensation may occur on the articles in the container.
For this reason, it is preferable that the catalyst and the desiccant are mixed and contained in a single porous shell. The method described above makes it possible to create and maintain in the container an atmosphere containing less than 1 O / o oxygen. Under these conditions oxidation of the articles cannot occur.
It is understood that the amount of catalyst and that of the compound are chosen as a function of the volume of the container so as to be sufficient so that substantially all of the oxygen present in the container is converted into water vapor, and that the amount desiccant is chosen so that all the water vapor produced by the reaction is absorbed.
Any suitable desiccant can be employed, for example silica gel or activated carbon, and the choice of desiccant may depend on the type of compound employed. Thus, when the compound employed is methyl alcohol, it is preferable that the desiccant is calcium sulfate, since it is likely that the silica gel or the activated carbon can absorb the highly polar methyl alcohol, and thus be susceptible block the desired reaction or reduce its speed.
It is also understood that, when choosing the desiccant, care should be taken to avoid the use of a desiccant which, like calcium chloride, combines chemically with the compound (methyl alcohol), or the use of a desiccant which, like phosphorus pentoxide, caustic alkalis and other soluble desiccants, produces a strongly corrosive residue.
If desired, the compound employed can be methyl formate, but methyl alcohol is preferred, since methyl formate requires the use of more catalyst.
On the other hand, the catalyst can be a metal other than platinum, for example it can be palladium or rhodium, and the catalyst support can be other than carbon, for example it can be alumina, of silica or calcium carbonate.
In the case of ferrous articles, additional protection against oxidation can be obtained by adding a corrosion preventing or reducing agent to the compound. These chemical inhibitors have the effect of surrounding articles with their vapor, which thus inhibits corrosion. Some organic nitrites, for example dicyclohexylamine nitrite, are examples of such substances, which are known as vapor phase inhibitors. These inhibitors are easily soluble in methyl alcohol or in methyl formate and can therefore be introduced into the container with them.
