Definitions

  • Solid detergents for automatic dishwashing are mainly offered in powder or granular form (agglomerates).
  • the individual particles of these agents have a preferred diameter between 0.01 and 3 mm.
  • a serious disadvantage of this type of solid cleaning agents, especially those used in the field of large-scale commercial use with a content of 10 to 60% by weight of alkali metal hydroxides, is that, due to the hygroscopicity of individual raw materials, small amounts of moisture have a strong tendency to Baked or clumped.
  • a disadvantage is the use of cleaning agents that tend to clump or cake when exposed to moisture, especially in automatic, stocking dosing devices that are used in large numbers in the area of large-scale commercial use of single-tank and multi-tank dishwashers.
  • cleaning agents that tend to clump or cake when exposed to moisture
  • the only remedy is to prevent the entry of moisture into the storage container, but this cannot be guaranteed in a damp kitchen atmosphere or after cleaning the device with water without drying the parts of the storage container and the dosing device.
  • the clumping or caking of alkaline cleaning agents can be avoided, among other things, by producing them in block form from the outset and packing, distributing and using them in a moisture-proof manner.
  • melt-block detergents for automatic dishwashing have already been described, which are mixed together by mixing all alkaline-reacting, preferably hydrate-containing active substances, such as. B. sodium silicates, pentasodium triphosphate, sodium hydroxide and optionally water, if the preferred water of hydration of the compounds mentioned is not sufficient, and then mild heating of the mixture with stirring to 90 to 100 ° C. until a uniformly molten mass was obtained and cast in molds and solidified to form a dense crystal aggregate.
  • active substances such as. B. sodium silicates, pentasodium triphosphate, sodium hydroxide and optionally water
  • EP-PS 3 769 describes detergent containers, in particular for machine dishwashing, which contain solid detergent blocks, made from water and two solid constituents, at least one of which is an alkaline hydratable compound and are only open at one point then the detergent is rinsed out by the water flow in the washing machine.
  • these cleaning agents are to contain active chlorine compounds in addition to alkali hydroxide, which are necessary for the removal of bleachable soiling, such as, for. B. tea, coffee, fruit juices, etc. are considered, these must preferably be introduced as preformed kernels during the solidification of the cleaning agent in the still soft mass.
  • the core should still be coated either with paraffin or with a wax-like mono- and dialkyl ester of polyphosphoric acid.
  • Example 13 shows that a direct addition of the active chlorine-releasing compound to the melt mass leads to a high loss of active chlorine within 24 hours.
  • the investigated chlorine carriers were Ca (OCl) 2, LiOCl and Na dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate. Depending on the chlorine carrier, residual chlorine activities between only 3.5 and 17.4% of the initial value were determined.
  • the invention now relates to a process for the preparation of alkali metal-containing melt-block-shaped, homogeneous and storage-stable agents for the mechanical cleaning of dishes containing alkali silicates and water, preferably as water of crystallization, pentaalkali metal phosphate and optionally a further content of active chlorine-releasing compounds and / or organic complexing agents characterized in that first a melt consisting of alkali silicates, alkali hydroxides and optionally water is generated and this is tempered by cooling or heating to 50-75 ° C, preferably 55-70 ° C, then optionally under careful control at a temperature of incorporates an active chlorine-releasing compound and / or organic complexing agent below 70 ° C., the melt obtained simultaneously with the pentaalkali metal phosphate fraction and, if appropriate, other customary components for such agents in a continuous mixer g ibt, where the additional solid, powder or granular raw materials are distributed in the melt, and the still liquid overall mixture immediately afterwards poured into arbitr
  • a continuous mixer those can be used which are also suitable for the production of suspensions or pastes. Preferred are those which bring about a homogeneous distribution of the pentasodium triphosphate in the melt with short residence times of less than one minute and the narrowest possible residence time spectrum, for example an injection mixer from FMC.
  • the feed and discharge lines of the mixer are heated so that their internal temperatures are 50 to 75 ° C and correspond to those of the melt. At higher temperatures, partial degradation of the active chlorine carrier is to be feared others also favor the phosphate breakdown in the melt after pouring into the molds. Lower temperatures can lead to at least partial crystallization of the melt in the batching tank, the metering units, the pipelines or the mixer and thereby cause technical malfunctions.
  • alkali hydroxide potassium and, for reasons of price, preferably sodium hydroxide are suitable, which are preferably in solid form, ie. H. as flakes, flakes or prills, practically anhydrous or as a monohydrate.
  • aqueous alkali hydroxide solutions can also be used. Only the water content for the overall composition has to be taken into account.
  • the amounts used are advantageously 2 to 70, preferably 5 to 50% by weight, anhydrous, based on the total composition.
  • Alkali silicates in particular are alkali metal silicates, namely water-free, but advantageously in the form of sodium metasilicate. 9 H2O, sodium metasilicate. 6 H2O and sodium metasilicate. 5 H2O used.
  • the amounts used in the particular form are expediently 0 to 60, preferably 0 to 50,% by weight, based on the total composition. But you can also partially or completely replace the alkali metal silicates with water glass solutions, the ratio of Na2O: SiO2 being 1: 1 to 1: 4, preferably 1: 2 to 1: 3.5. Because of the higher silicate content of the water glass, its solutions are expediently used in amounts of 0 to 30, preferably 0 to 15,% by weight, based on the total agent.
  • Suitable organic complexing agents which can be solubility-improving constituents of the melt-block-shaped cleaning agents, are polycarboxylic acids, hydroxycarboxylic acids, aminocarboxylic acids, carboxyalkyl ethers, polyanionic polymers, in particular polymeric carboxylic acids and phosphonic acids. these compounds being used in the form of their water-soluble salts.
  • the amount of organic complexing agents is advantageously 0 to 10, preferably 0 to 5% by weight, based on the total agent.
  • the blocks are then no longer composed homogeneously, so that a dosage according to the recipe is not guaranteed during use (gradual rinsing of the blocks).
  • the weight ratio of the two types of phosphate to one another can vary within wide limits. In the case of highly alkaline formulations, ratios of coarse-grained to fine-grained phosphate of approximately 10: 1 to 2: 1, preferably 6: 1 to 3: 1, have proven successful. In the case of low-alkaline formulations, degrees of phosphate maintenance of more than 90% are already achieved even with fine-grained phosphate. A total of 2 to 50, preferably 5 to 45,% by weight of pentaalkali phosphate is expediently used.
  • the total water content of the melt-block-shaped cleaning agents from dense crystal aggregates is essentially 10 to 40, preferably 15 to 30% by weight. It is preferably introduced by the crystal water content of the alkaline reacting substances, but possibly also via water glass solutions. The calculations of the water content must therefore be based on these compounds.
  • the solidification process of the melts obtained by the process according to the invention takes from a few minutes to about one hour, depending on the size of the mold and the composition of the mass. Depending on their composition, the finished melting blocks are very hard, hard or less hard, but in any case through and by consistently composed and quickly soluble in use.
