Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to granular detergent compositions which comprise as essential .ingredients an alkali metal silicate, a water- insoluble aluminosilicate and a cationic surfactant. More particularly it relates to spray-dried detergent compositions containing the aforesaid essential ingredients wherein the aluminosilicate particles are coated with the cationic surfactant in an amount of at least 50 ppm (wt.) at least prior to being subjected to the elevated temperatures and CO 2 - containing environment of the spray dryer, and preferably prior to being brought into contact with an aqueous solution of the sodium silicate.
  • alkali-metal silicate such as sodium silicate.
  • a spray-dried detergent composition comprising an alkali metal silicate and an aluminosilicate ion- exchanger prepared by spray drying a precursor composition containing aqueous alkali metal silicate solution and a cationic surfactant-coated aluminosilicate.
  • the cationic surfactant is found to inhibit the tendency of the alkali metal silicate or derivatives thereof formed during spray drying to react with the aluminosilicate particle and create non-dispersable floc aggregates.
  • the aluminosilicate components used in the present invention are any of synthetic or naturally occurring zeolites heretofore proposed for use in detergent compositions such as (1) crystalline aluminosilicate zeolites having the general formula wherein x and y are integers, preferably having a value of at least 6; the molar ratio of x to y is in the range of 0.1 to 1.1; and z is an integer from about 8 to 264, preferably a value such that in the spray-dried detergent product containing same, the zeolite contains from about 10 to 30 weight-% adsorbed.water, and M is preferably sodium but can also be potassium, ammonium or substituted ammonium; or (2) amorphous hydrated aluminosilicate material of the empirical, formula wherein M is sodium, potassium, ammonium or substituted ammonium, z is from about 0.5 to 2, y is 1 and said material has a magnesium ion exchange capacity of at least about 50 milligrams of CaCO 3 hardness per
  • zeolite A and zeolite X wherein either zeolite constitutes at least 30 weight per cent of the overall zeolite mixture and the other zeolite constitutes a complementary amount, are especially preferred as the aluminosilicate constituent.
  • the cationic surfactant is preferably any of the quaternary ammonium compounds having the formula wherein at least one, but not more than two, of the R- groups is an organic radical containing a group selected from C 8 - C 22 aliphatic radical, or an alkyl phenyl or alkylbenzyl radical having 10 to 16 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, the remaining group or groups being selected from C l -C 4 alkyl, C 2 -C 4 hydroxy alkyl, and cyclic structures in which the nitrogen atom forms part of the ring, Y constituting an anionic radical selected from the group consisting of hydroxide, halide, sulfate, methylsulfate, ethylsulfate and phosphate ions.
  • the alkali metal silicates employed in preparing the present detergent compositions are preferably sodium silicates with about 1.0 to 4.0 moles of SiO 2 per mole of Na 2 o. Equivalent potassium and lithium silicates are also useful.
  • the alkali metal silicates are preferably employed in the form of concentrated aqueous solutions containing from 20 to 60% solids, but hydrated and anhydrous silicate powders can be imparted to the overall detergent composition along with an appropriate amount of water if desired.
  • the aluminosilicate constituent be coated with the cationic surfactant, or a portion thereof, before there is contact of the aluminosilicate with the alkali metal silicate under conditions which permit significant reaction between these two materials.
  • the aluminosilicate is coated with from about 100 ppm to about 2000.ppm of the cationic surfactant before any contact with an aqueous sodium silicate solution is allowed, i.e. the aluminosilicate-cationic surfactant composite is imparted to the crutcher as an already prepared material. In all events the aluminosilicate must contain the cationic surfactant coating before the overall detergent composition is subjected to spray-drying.
  • the principal cause of bridging of the aluminosilicate particles to form undesirable aggregates is a condensation reaction between silicic acid an/or terminal silanol groups on polymerized silicic species and ⁇ Si-OH groups of the aluminosilicate.
  • silicic acid While relatively small amounts of silicic acid are present in the alkali metal silicate solution employed, there is apparently enough to cause appreciable floc formation even at ambient room temperatures during prolonged periods.
  • the detergent feed containing relatively large amounts of water is contacted at elevated temperatures, i.e., 500°F to about 900°F, by a rather high concentration of carbon dioxide. This permit the formation of H 2 C0 3 which then can react with the alkali metal silicate to produce silicic acid in accordance with the following equation:
  • the cationic surfactant coating on the aluminosilicate interferes with this or similar bonding reactions without inhibiting appreciably the ion exchange activity of the aluminosilicate when the detergent is added to the washing medium.
  • the method of coating the aluminosilicate with the surfactant is not a critical factor. Ordinarily the alumin- osilicate is simply slurried or otherwise washed with a solution of the surfactant in a suitable solvent such as water or a mixture of water and polar organic solvent such as isopropanol.
  • a suitable solvent such as water or a mixture of water and polar organic solvent such as isopropanol.
  • Anionic surfactants are particularly important in the detergent compositions of our invention.
  • Such anionic materials include, among others, alkali metal soaps of fatty acids, alkali metal salts of alkyl sulfuric acid reaction products, sodium alkyl glyceryl ether sulfonates, succinamates and anionic phosphates, one of the most commonly used anionic surfactants is the sodium salt of linear alkyl benzene sulfonate (LAS) wherein the alkyl group contains more than 10 carbon atoms. LAS forms at least a part of many of the surfactant systems used in our detergent compounds and may be the only surfactant used.
  • LAS linear alkyl benzene sulfonate
  • Nonionic surfactants are also useful and include, among others, polyethylene oxide condensate of alkyl phenols, condensation products of aliphatic alcohols with ethylene oxide, nonyl phenol-ethylene oxide condensates, amine oxides and posphine oxides.
  • Ampholytic surfactants such as th ⁇ aliphatic derivatives of heterocyclic secondary and tertiary amines and zevitterionie surfactants such as derivatives of aliphatic quaternary ammonium compounds are also useful.
  • auxiliary builder in the detergent compositions of our invention.
  • auxiliary builders include salts of phosphates, pryophosphates, orthophosphates, polyphosphates, phosphonates, carbonates, and polyhydroxysulfonates, organic sequestering agents such as polyacetates, carboxylates, polyaminocarboxylates and polyhydroxysulfonates are of use in our detergent compositions.
  • useful materials include sodium and potassium salts of tripolyphosphate, pyrophosphate, hexametaphosphate, ethylenediaaminotetraacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, citric acid, citric acid isomers and others.
  • the present detergents can also include numerous . . additional detergent ingredients.
  • Antirediposition agents such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose prevent certain types of soils from redipositioning on clean fabric.
  • Minor detergent ingredients such as enzymes, optical brighteners and bleaches are included to remove stains and/or improve the appearance of the fabric.
  • Other minor detergent ingredients such as perfumes, anti-caking agents, dyes, colored specks and fabric softeners are added to improve the properties or appearance of the detergent or the fabric. Since detergent actives are effective at low concentrations, it is important the bulking agents be added to the formulation so that measurement of the appro- priate dose is facilitated. We have found bulking agents such as sodium sulfates, sodium chloride and other neutral alkali metal salts to be effective.
  • detergent compositions of this invention thus comprise, prior to spray-drying:
  • the aluminosilicate composites contain a coating of from about 100 ppm to 2000 ppm by weight based on the anhydrous weight of the aluminosilicate.
