The invention relates to a process for the preparation of a granular detergent composition or component having a bulk density greater than 650 g/l which comprises the step of dispersing a liquid binder throughout a powder stream in a high speed mixer to form granular agglomerates, wherein the powder stream comprises crystalline zeolite A having an oil absorbing capacity of at least 40 ml/100g, preferably at least 45 ml/100g and most preferably at least 50 ml/100g.

Description

The method for preparing granular detergent component
The present invention relates to continuously, preparation has the granular detergent composition of high-bulk-density and good fluidity or the method for component.In said composition and component, the known use of people is at the known water-soluble crystalline material of detergent applications, and crystalline zeolite A is as washing assistant, and this is particularly suitable for decationize from hard water, for example calcium and magnesium.
Crystalline zeolite A is the powder of very thin pulverizing.Adding final product, before the especially final detergent composition, people are processed into the fine powder pulverized powder larger particles form (400-1000 micron usually) usually.Various prilling process are known, and it comprises spraying drying and agglomeration.Wherein using zeolite A is known as the agglomeration method of the routine of one of component in the prior art:
On April 25th, 1979, disclosed GB2005715 described a kind of agglomeration method based on zeolite A.Zeolite A makes the nonionogenic tenside agglomerate with the carbonate agglomeration.
