  • Preferred compounds are inorganic or organic phosphates or phosphonates or Aminomethylene carboxylic acids. Examples of this are Ethylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonic or carboxylic acids or Diethylenetriaminepentamethylenephosphonic acid or its salts.
  • Means of Adjusting the pH will change or maintain the pH value used within the granules. Examples include citric acid, Fatty acid or succinic acid or salts such as silicates, phosphates or Sodium bisulfate.
  • Granules are used as starting materials and to reduce these granules with the aid of the process according to the invention Granules are processed further. Have the finished granules used generally the typical granulate structure as described above has been.
  • transition temperature is to be understood as the temperature at which the hydrate-forming compound releases or takes up the bound water of crystallization. If sodium sulfate is used as the hydrate-forming compound, the transition temperature is 32.5 ° C. Below this transition temperature, the sodium sulfate forms a decahydrate with the water of crystallization. Above this temperature, most of the crystal water is released again.
  • Sodium acetate, sodium carbonate, zinc nitrate, sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium nitrate, lithium bromide, sodium phosphate, sodium hydrogen phosphate or mixtures thereof are preferably used.
  • Suitable apparatus for the production of the low-dust granules are, for example, mixers, extruders or pelletizing machines.
