Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for dry neutralisation of sulphonic acids and to detergent compositions made by this process.
  • Granular detergents have so far been principally prepared by spray drying.
  • the detergent components such as surfactants and builders, are mixed with as much as 35-50% water to form a slurry.
  • the slurry obtained is heated and spray dried which requires high energy input and expensive equipment. An efficient method of processing detergents without slurrying in water and then subsequently drying would be less expensive.
  • the detergent granules made by the invention have a bulk density greater than 650 g/l.
  • Japanese Pat. No. 60 072 999 discloses a batch process whereby a detergent sulphonic acid, sodium carbonate, water and other optional ingredients are brought together in a high shear mixer followed by cooling to 40°C or below and pulverising with zeolite powder and granulating.
  • EP A 0 420 317 published April 3, 1991, discloses a continuous process whereby a detergent sulphonic acid, particulate inorganic material, water and other optional ingredients are brought together in a high speed mixer/densifier. Material is subsequently treated in a moderate speed granulator/densifier. Addition of fine powders in the second step, or between the first and second step, is described as beneficial for the agglomeration process.
  • the present invention relates to a process for making a detergent particle by neutralisation of the acid form of an anionic surfactant in a high shear mixer by a stoichiometric excess of finely divided particulate neutralising agent having an average particle size of less than 5 ⁇ m.
  • the present invention also encompasses free-flowing detergent compositions made with the process.
  • a stream of dry powder ingredients is fed into a high shear mixer where it is mixed with a liquid or paste stream of anionic surfactant acid and, optionally, other liquid binders.
  • the powder stream comprises a particulate neutralising agent, typically an alkali inorganic salt, and neutralisation starts in the high shear mixer and continues during subsequent processing. It is a characteristic of the invention that the particulate neutralising agent in the powder stream is in the form of a finely ground powder.
  • the powder stream contains a particulate neutralising agent.
  • Preferred neutralising agents include any of the salts of carbonate or bicarbonate or mixtures thereof. Especially suitable is calcium or sodium carbonate.
  • the neutralising agent should be present in a stoichiometric excess over the anionic surfactant acid. Preferably at least five times as much neutralising agent should be present than is required for stoichiometric neutralisation.
  • the powder stream may also contain any other suitable detergent powders.
  • Preferred powders are those which are active in the detergency process. This includes zeolites, sodium tripolyphosphate, silica, silicates, polymers including copolymers of maleic and acrylic acid, carboxymethyl cellulose, optical brighteners, ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid and inorganic salts such as sulphates.
  • Other suitable ingredients, including additional surfactants, that may be handled as solids are described later.
  • the average particle size of the neutralising agent should be less than 5 ⁇ m. The definitions for average particle size are given below.
  • the high specific surface area of the particulate neutralising agent improves the efficiency of the neutralisation reaction.
  • a narrow range of particle size distribution is preferred, as well as a small average particle size.
  • Preferably 90% of the particles by volume have an equivalent particle size of less than 10 ⁇ m.
  • the particle size of any given particle is taken to be the diameter of a spherical particle occupying the same volume as the given particle.
  • the average (or median) particle size is taken to be the particle size which has 50% of the particles by volume smaller than that particle size.
  • Any type of mill suitable for grinding the particulate neutralising agent to the desired particle size may be used.
  • a pan-cake jet mill provided by Trade Microniser, Kent, England and an air classifier mill, supplied by Hosokawa Micron have been found to be particularly suitable.

  • a particularly preferred paste comprises a blend of nonionic and anionic surfactants having a ratio of from 0.01:1 to 1:1, more preferably about 0.05:1.
  • Nonionics can be used up to an equal amount of the primary organic surfactant.
  • Such nonionic materials include compounds produced by the condensation of alkylene oxide groups (hydrophilic in nature) with an organic hydrophobic compound, which may be aliphatic or alkyl aromatic in nature.

  • Zwitterionic surfactants include derivatives of aliphatic quaternary ammonium phosphonium, and sulfonium compounds in which one of the aliphatic substituents contains from 8 to 18 carbon atoms.
  • Useful cationic surfactants include water-soluble quaternary ammonium compounds of the form R 4 R 5 R 6 R 7 N + X - , wherein R 4 is alkyl having from 10 to 20, preferably from 12-18 carbon atoms, and R 5 , R 6 and R 7 are each C 1 to C 7 alkyl preferably methyl; X - is an anion, e.g. chloride.
  • Examples of such trimethyl ammonium compounds include C 12-14 alkyl trimethyl ammonium chloride and cocoalkyl trimethyl ammonium methosulfate.
  • liquid ingredients anionic surfactant acids and binders
  • powder ingredients are limited by the stickiness of the powder produced.
  • a ratio from 1:1 to 1:4 is preferred. Most preferred is from 1:2 to 1:3.
  • a preferred high shear mixer is the Loedige R CB series manufactured by Loedige Maschinenbau GmbH, Paderhorn, Germany.
