Defoamer for concrete admixtures
Abstract
The present invention is directed to a defoaming agent for use with polycarboxylate based admixtures for concrete.
The defoaming agent is comprised of tributyl phosphate.

Air-entraining admixtures are used to purposely introduce and stabilize microscopic air bubbles in concrete.
Air entrainment will dramatically improve the durability of concrete exposed to cycles of freezing and thawing.
Entrained air greatly improves concrete’s resistance to surface scaling caused by chemical deicers.
Furthermore, the workability of fresh concrete is improved significantly, and segregation and bleeding are reduced or eliminated.

Air-entrained concrete contains minute air bubbles that are distributed uniformly throughout the cement paste.
Entrained air can be produced in concrete by use of an air-entraining cement, by introduction of an airentraining admixture, or by a combination of both methods.
An air-entraining cement is a portland cement with an air-entraining addition interground with the clinker during manufacture.
An air-entraining admixture, on the other hand, is added directly to the concrete materials either before or during mixing.

The primary ingredient used in air-entraining admixtures is Tributyl phosphate.

Specifications and methods of testing air-entraining admixtures are given in ASTM C 260 and C 233 (AASHTO M 154 and T 157).
Airentraining additions for use in the manufacture of airentraining cements must meet requirements of ASTM C 226.
Applicable requirements for air-entraining cementsare given in ASTM C 150 and AASHTO M 85.

AIR-DETRAINING ADMIXTURES
Is there any way to reduce the air content of a mix which is considerably higher than specified or intended?
Over-entrainment of air can be caused by inadvertently adding double dosages of admixtures or by using more than one admixture, both of which entrain some air.
Some aggregates have been known to release air into the mix.
The most widely used air-detrainer is tributyl phosphate.
Dibutyl phosphate, water-insoluble alcohols, water-insoluble esters of carbonic and boric acids as well as silicones may also do the job.
Obviously they must be used judiciously for the concrete to end up with the right amount of air.

The major uses of tributyl phosphate (TBP) in industry are as a flame retardant component of aircraft hydraulic fluid and as a solvent for rare earth extraction and purification.
Minor uses of TBP include use as a defoamer additive in cement casings for oil wells, as an anti-air entrainment additive for coatings and floor finishes, as a solvent in fuel processing, and as a carrier for fluorescent dyes.
The major uses of TBP comprise over 80 percent of the volume produced.
There are no consumer products that are known to contain TBP.
Nonspecific plant herbicides that contained TBP were reformulated in the mid-1980s and are no longer available for use.

Air Detraining Admixtures
AUGUST 27, 2020
Air-repellent compound:

Air Detergent 1 is an air entraining agent intended for plastic concrete.
It helps to remove the foam and reduces air permeability in cement mortar, drains, concrete, and mortar.
It can also be used to deal with air pollution from dehumidifiers and superplasticizers.
This mixture causes the microscopic air bubbles in the cement paste to expand during mixing, thus increasing its resistance to freezing and melting and increasing its applicability (ACI 212.3R).

The advantages of incorporating air into concrete include greater resistance to freeze-thaw degradation, greater cohesion (resulting in less bleeding and segregation), and better compaction in low workability mixes.
Air overtraining can be caused by the inadvertent addition of double doses of adjutants or by the use of more than one adjuvant, both of which entrain air Tributyl phosphate is tributyl phosphate.
Dibutyl phosphate, water-insoluble alcohols, water-insoluble boric, and carbonic acid esters, as well as silicones, can also do the job. Obviously, they must be used sensibly so that the concrete ends up with the right amount of air

The present invention solves the problems associated with defoaming agents presently available for polycarboxylate based admixtures for concrete by providing a defoaming agent comprising tributyl phosphate, an alkylaryl sulfonic acid metallic salt and a modified alkylpolyalcoxyester.
Tributyl phosphate is a phosphate ester based defoamer and the modified alkylpolyalcoxyester is an air detraining agent.
The alkylaryl sulfonic acid metallic salt is a hydrotrope that ensures that the tributyl phosphate and the modified alkylpolyalcoxyester react and do not separate.
When up to 7% of the aforementioned defoaming agent is added to a polycarboxylate based admixture, the resulting air content with a normal dosage of an air entraining agent in the concrete meets ASTM specifications.

Uses: Tributyl phosphate (TBP) is a trialkyl phosphate that is the tributyl ester of phosphoric acid. TBP is a toxic organophosphorous compound widely used in many industrial applications, including significant usage in nuclear processing. TBP is a solvent and plasticizer for cellulose esters such as nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate. The major uses of TBP in industry are as a component of aircraft hydraulic fluid and as a solvent for extraction and purification of rare earth metals from their ores, such as uranium and plutonium. TBP is used also in mercerizing liquids, where it improves their wetting properties. TBP is also used as a heat exchange medium. TBP is used in some consumer products such as herbicides and water thinned paints and tinting bases.

Preparation
Tributyl phosphate is manufactured by reaction of phosphoryl chloride with n-butanol.
A 1-liter four-necked flask is fitted with an efficient condenser, an air-tight stirrer, a short-stemmed dropping funnel and a thermometer. Calcium chloride tubes are attached to the top of dropping funnel and the reflux condenser. 137 ml (111 g) of dry n-butyl alcohol, 132.5 ml (130 g) of dry pyridine and 140 ml of dry benzene are placed in the flask, which is stirred and cooled in an ice-salt mixture until the temperature falls to – 5° C. 40.5 ml (76.5 g) of freshly redistilled (b.p. 106-107° C) phosphorus oxychloride are dropwise added from the funnel at such a rate that the temperature does not rise above 10° C. When all phosphorus oxychloride has been added the reaction mixture is gently refluxed for 2 hours and cooled to room temperature. 250 ml of water are added in order to dissolve the pyridine hydrochloride, the benzene layer is separated, washed several times with water until the washings are neutral, and dried over anhydrous sodium or magnesium sulfate. The benzene is removed by evaporation and crude tributyl phosphate is purified by distillation in a vacuum. The fraction boiling at 160-162°/15 mm or 138-140°/6 mm is collected yielding 95 g of pure tributyl phosphate.

Potential Exposure
The industrial application of this chemical is responsible for occupational exposure and environmental pollution. Exposure to TBP can be from ingestion, inhalation, or skin or eye contact. This exposure will most often happen from occupational use of hydraulic fluid. If TBP is released to the environment, it will bind tightly to dust particles in the air. Unbound TBP will break down in air. It will move slowly through soil because it will bind with soil particles. It may volatilize slowly from moist soil and water surfaces. It may build up in aquatic organisms. It will be broken down in water by microbes.

Description
On decomposition, TBP releases COx, toxic fumes of phosphoric acid, phosphorus oxides, and/or phosphine. TBP is incompatible with strong oxidising agents and alkalis. The major uses of TBP in industry are as a component of aircraft hydraulic fluid and as a solvent for rare earth extraction and purification. Minor uses of TBP include use as a defoamer additive in cement casings for oil wells, an anti-air entrainment additive for coatings and floor finishes, as well as a carrier for fluorescent dyes. The major uses of TBP comprise over 80% of the volume produced.

Industrial uses
1. As an antifoaming agent.
2. As a plasticizer for cellulose esters, lacquers, plastics, and vinyl resins.
3. As a complexing agent in the extraction of heavy metals, especially for the extraction of metal ions from solutions
4. As an aircraft hydraulic fluid.

Safety Profile
Poison by intraperitoneal and intravenous routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion, inhalation, and subcutaneous routes. Experimental reproductive effects. A skin, eye, and mucous membrane irritant. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame. To fight fire, use CO2, dry chemical, fog, mist. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of POx.

Carcinogenicity
TBP was not genotoxic in a variety of in vivo and in vitro assays.
It has been suggested that the carcinogenic effects of TBP are species- and organ specific. The necrotic actions of TBP (or a metabolite) on rat urinary bladder epithelium may induce chronic repair processes that cause the normal epithelium to be transformed into its metaplastic and neoplastic forms.
TBP was not teratogenic when administered to rats and rabbits during gestation; fetotoxic effects (delayed ossification and reduced fetal body weights) occurred in rats at doses that caused severe maternal toxicity. There was no evidence of reproductive toxicity or reproductive organ pathology in twogeneration studies in rats fed TBP in the diet.

Environmental Fate
Biological. Indigenous microbes in Mississippi River water degraded tributyl phosphate to carbon dioxide. After 4 wk, 90.8% of the theoretical carbon dioxide had evolved (Saeger et al., 1979).
Chemical/Physical. Complete hydrolysis yields 1-butanol and phosphoric acid via the intermediates dibutyl phosphate and monobutyl phosphate (Thomas and Macaskie, 1996).

Purification Methods
The main contaminants in commercial samples are organic pyrophosphates, monoand dibutyl phosphates and butanol. It is purified by washing successively with 0.2M HNO3 (three times), 0.2M NaOH (three times) and water (three times), then fractionally distilled under vacuum. [Yoshida J Inorg Nucl Chem 24 1257 1962.] It has also been purified via its uranyl nitrate addition compound, obtained by saturating the crude phosphate with uranyl nitrate. This compound is crystallised three times from n-hexane by cooling to -40o, and then decomposed by washing with Na2CO3 and water. Hexane is removed by steam distillation; the water is then evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue is distilled under reduced pressure. [Siddall & Dukes J Am Chem Soc 81 790 1959.] Alternatively, wash it with water, then with 1% NaOH or 5% Na2CO3 for several hours, then finally with water. Dry it under reduced pressure and fractionate it carefully under vacuum. It is a stable colourless oil, sparingly soluble in H2O (1mL dissolves in 165mL of H2O), but freely miscible in organic solvents. [Kuivila & Masterton J Am Chem Soc 74 4953 1952, Cox & Westheimer J Am Chem Soc 80 5441 1958, 31P NMR: Van Wazer J Am Chem Soc 78 5715 1956, Fertig et al. J Chem Soc 1488 1957, Beilstein 1 IV 1531.]

-the major uses of tributyl phosphate are as a flame retardant in aircraft hydraulics, as an extraction solvent and plasticizer
-released into the environment during its production and use
-the general population may be exposure to very low levels in food, drinking water and air
-breathing in vapours of tributyl phosphate may cause headache and irritation to the eyes,nose and throat
-eye or skin contact may cause irritation and pain

What is tributyl phosphate?
Tributyl phosphate is a colourless to pale yellow odourless liquid.

What is tributyl phosphate used for?
The major uses of tributyl phosphate in industry are as a flame retardant component of aircraft hydraulic fluid, plasticiser in the manufacture of plastics, anti-foaming agent and as a solvent for substance extraction and purification.

How does tributyl phosphate get into the environment?
Tributyl phosphate may enter the environment during its production and use.

How might I be exposed to tributyl phosphate?
The general public may be exposed to very low levels of tributyl phosphate as a contaminant in air or water.
Exposure to tributyl phosphate is can occur in the workplace, where the chemical is stored, manufactured or used.
Exposure is most likely to occur as a result of its use as an ingredient in aircraft hydraulic fluid.
Safe levels are enforced to protect the health of workers; such levels are below those that are thought to cause harmful effects.

If I am exposed to tributyl phosphate how might it affect my health?
The presence of tributyl phosphate in the environment does not always lead to exposure.
In order for it to cause any adverse health effects you must come into contact with it.
You may be exposed to tributyl phosphate by breathing or drinking it or by skin or eye contact with it.

Following exposure to any chemical, the adverse health effects you may encounter depend on several factors, including the amount to which you are exposed (dose), the way you are exposed, the duration of exposure, the form of the chemical and if you were exposed to any other chemicals.
Breathing in vapours of tributyl phosphate may cause headache and irritation to eyes, nose and throat.
Contact with the skin or eyes may cause irritation and pain.

Can tributyl phosphate cause cancer?
There is insufficient data available to assess whether tributyl phosphate causes cancer in humans.
