Abstract

Particulate detergents or detergent additives containing fine textile-softening lamellar silicates are produced by spray-drying, a watery slurry of at least part of the detergent components being atomized and blown into the atomizing cone of the fine lamellar silicates. Spray-dried detergents or detergent additives with lamellar silicates are obtained by drying the spray product with heated gases which are directed onto it in parallel current or, preferably, in countercurrent; said detergents or detergent additives containing lamellar silicates do not loose any of their softening power through processing.

Description

Teilchenförmige Waschmittel, die die Eigenschaft haben, gewa­schenen Texitilien eine weichen Griff zu verleihen, sind seit langem bekannt. Derartige Waschmittel enthalten außer den übli­cherweise in Waschmitteln enthaltenen Waschmittelinhaltsstoffen zusätzlich textilweichmachende Wirkstoffe. Dies können organische Textilweichmacher etwa vom Typ der quartären Ammoniumverbindungen oder der Sorbitan-Ester sein, oder auch anorganische Textilweich­macher, beispielsweise quellfähige Schichtsilikate vom Smectit-­Typ. Waschmittel mit tonhaltigen Textilweichmachern sind bei­spielsweise aus der DE-A-23 34 899 bekannt.Particulate detergents which have the property of giving washed textiles a soft feel have long been known. In addition to the detergent ingredients usually contained in detergents, detergents of this type additionally contain textile-softening active ingredients. These can be organic textile plasticizers, for example of the quaternary ammonium compound or sorbitan ester type, or also inorganic textile plasticizers, for example swellable layered silicates of the smectite type. Detergents with clay-containing textile softeners are known for example from DE-A-23 34 899.

In großtechnischem Maßstab werden teilchenförmige Waschmittel in der Regel durch Sprühtrocknung in Zerstäubungstürmen hergestellt. Dabei wird wenigstens ein Teil der Waschmittelinhaltsstoffe oder auch sämtliche Waschmittelinhaltsstoffe in Form einer wäßrigen Aufschlämmung am oberen Ende eines Zerstäubungsturms versprüht und mit heißen Gasen, die man entweder im Gleichstrom oder im Gegen­strom zu der versprühten Waschmittelaufschlämmung führt, getrock­net. In Wasser quellende, textilweichmachende Schichtsilikate lassen sich in eine derartige Waschmittelinhaltsstoffe-Aufschläm­mung einarbeiten. Durch ihre Eigenschaft, in Wasser aufzuquellen, erhöht sich aber die Viskosität der wäßrigen Aufschlämmung in der Regel auf ein nicht mehr pump- und versprühbares Maß. Um die Viskosität wieder zu senken, wäre es erforderlich, den Wasseran­teil der Aufschlämmung zu erhöhen. Dies würde aber bedeuten, daß man dieses zusätzlich zugesetzte Wasser beim anschließenden Trocknungsprozess wieder entfernen müßte, was mit hohen Energie­kosten verbunden wäre.On an industrial scale, particulate detergents are usually produced by spray drying in atomizing towers. At least some of the detergent ingredients or all of the detergent ingredients are sprayed in the form of an aqueous slurry at the top of an atomization tower and dried with hot gases, which are conducted either in cocurrent or countercurrent to the sprayed detergent slurry. Water-softening, fabric softening sheet silicates can be incorporated into such a detergent ingredient slurry. However, due to their property of swelling in water, the viscosity of the aqueous slurry generally increases to a level that can no longer be pumped and sprayed. To the To reduce viscosity again, it would be necessary to increase the water content of the slurry. However, this would mean that one would have to remove this additional water during the subsequent drying process, which would entail high energy costs.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung teilchenförmiger, tonhaltiger Waschmittel durch Sprühtrocknung hoch konzentrierter, wäßriger Aufschlämmungen be­reitzustellen, die zur Einstellung einer zur Verarbeitung noch ausreichenden niedrigen Viskosität keinen erhöhten Wasserbedarf erfordert. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung ist daher ein Verfahren zur Herstellung teilchenförmiger, tonhaltiger Waschmit­tel oder Waschmittelzusatzstoffe durch Sprühtrocknung einer wäß­rigen Aufschlämmung von Waschmittelinhaltsstoffen, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß man in den Sprühkegel mittels Luft quellfähige, textilweichmachende Tone in Teilchenform einbläst und dieses Gemisch durch erhitzte Gase trocknet. Geeignete tonartige Mineralien mit textilweichmachenden Eigenschaften sind natürlich vorkommende, im Handel erhältliche Mineralien vom Smectit-Typ, beispielsweise Montmorillonite oder Hectorite. Sie werden für die Verwendung in Waschmitteln in unterschiedlichen Teilchengrößen, beispielsweise als feinteilige Pulver oder als Granulate angebo­ten. Sie sind meistens nicht reinweiß, was bei der Einarbeitung in weiße, teilchenförmige Waschmittel häufig störend ist. Zur Verar­beitung nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren eignen sich feintei­lige, quellfähige Schichtsilikate vom Smectit-Typ besonders. "Feinteilig" im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung sind Tone mit einer Teilchengröße, die zu 90 % unter 50 mikron liegt.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a process for the production of particulate, clay-containing detergents by spray drying highly concentrated, aqueous slurries which does not require an increased water requirement to set a low viscosity which is still sufficient for processing. The present invention therefore relates to a process for the preparation of particulate, clay-containing detergents or detergent additives by spray drying an aqueous slurry of detergent ingredients, which is characterized in that air-swellable, textile-softening clays in particulate form are blown into the spray cone and this mixture is dried by heated gases . Suitable clay-like minerals with textile softening properties are naturally occurring, commercially available minerals of the smectite type, for example montmorillonite or hectorite. They are offered for use in detergents in different particle sizes, for example as fine powders or as granules. They are usually not pure white, which is often annoying when incorporated into white, particulate detergents. Finely divided, swellable layered silicates of the smectite type are particularly suitable for processing by the method according to the invention. For the purposes of the present invention, “fine particles” are clays with a particle size that is 90% below 50 microns.

Man kann das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren entweder so ausführen, daß man die zum Trocknen der versprühten wäßrigen Aufschlämmung be­nutzten erhitzten Gase in gleicher Richtung (Gleichstrom) oder entgegengesetzt zur versprühten wäßrigen Aufschlämmung (Gegen­strom) strömen läßt.The process according to the invention can either be carried out by allowing the heated gases used to dry the sprayed aqueous slurry to flow in the same direction (cocurrent) or in the opposite direction to the sprayed aqueous slurry (countercurrent).

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens besteht darin, daß man im Gegenstrom arbeitet. Man erhält Pulver, die hinsichtlich ihrer Rieseleigenschaften und eines möglich ge­ringen Anteils an staubfeinen Produkten besonders wertvolle Ei­genschaften haben, wenn man die Strömungsgeschwindigkeiten der versprühten Aufschlämmung und des eingeblasenen Tons so einstellt, daß sich die Strömungsgeschwindigkeiten um nicht mehr als 30 % voneinander unterscheiden, wobei es zweckmäßig ist, daß sie sich nicht mehr als um 10 % unterscheiden und insbesondere gleich sind.A preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention is that one works in countercurrent. Powders are obtained which have particularly valuable properties with regard to their pouring properties and a possibly low proportion of dust-fine products if the flow rates of the sprayed slurry and the blown-in clay are set such that the flow rates do not differ from one another by more than 30%, whereby it It is expedient that they differ by no more than 10% and in particular are the same.

Außer den bereits genannten gewünschten Eigenschaften einer mög­lichst gleichmäßigen Kornverteilung und einer möglichst guten Rieselfähigkeit auch nach längerer Lagerung weisen die nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestellten teilchenförmigen Wasch­mittel eine hellere Farbe auf als gleich zusammengesetzte Wasch­mittel, die man hergestellt hat, indem man die textilweichmachen­den Tone der wäßrigen Aufschlämmung zusetzte. Besonders hervorzu­heben ist der volle Erhalt der weichmachenden Eigenschaften. Da­durch, daß die quellfähigen Tone nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Ver­fahren nicht der wäßrigen Aufschlämmung zugesetzt zu werden brau­chen, verursachen sie außerdem keine Viskositätsprobleme in der wäßrigen Aufschlämmung und benötigen daher auch nicht zu deren Beseitigung zusätzliche Wassermengen in der wäßrigen Aufschläm­mung.In addition to the above-mentioned desired properties of the most uniform possible grain distribution and the best possible free-flowing properties even after prolonged storage, the particulate detergents produced by the process according to the invention have a lighter color than detergents of the same composition which have been prepared by reducing the textile-softening clays of the aqueous slurry clogged. Of particular note is the full preservation of the softening properties. Because the swellable clays need not be added to the aqueous slurry by the process of the invention, they also do not cause viscosity problems in the aqueous slurry and therefore do not require additional amounts of water in the aqueous slurry to remove them.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren läßt sich mit vorzüglichem Erfolg auch zur Herstellung eines rieselfähigen körnigen, im wesentlichen Zeolith A und textilweichmachende quellfähige Tone enthaltenden Sprühproduktes verwenden. Das so erhaltene Produkt läßt sich gut als Zusatz zu Waschmitteln verwenden. In manchen Fällen ist es zweckmäßig, einen Teil der quellfähigen Tone der Waschmittel­schlämmung beziehungsweise der zu versprühenden Zeolithsuspension zuzusetzen und den restlichen Teil nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren einzublasen. Dies kann zur Verbesserung der Redispergierbarkeit der erhaltenen Waschmittel beziehungsweise der Zeolith/Ton-Sprühprodukte führen.The process according to the invention can also be used with excellent success for the production of a free-flowing, granular spray product which essentially contains zeolite A and textile-softening swellable clays. The product obtained in this way can be used well as an additive to detergents. In some cases, it is expedient to add a part of the swellable clays to the detergent slurry or the zeolite suspension to be sprayed and to blow in the remaining part by the process according to the invention. This can improve the redispersibility of the detergents obtained or the zeolite / clay spray products.
