Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for converting liquid to pasty preparation forms of washable and cleaning-active surfactant compounds into storage-stable and dust-free granules with increased bulk density.
- anionic oleochemical surfactant compounds are the known sulfofatty acid methyl esters (fatty acid methyl ester sulfonates, MES) which are obtained by sulfonating the methyl esters of fatty acids of vegetable or animal origin with predominantly 10 to 20 carbon atoms in the fatty acid molecule and subsequent neutralization to water-soluble mono-salts, in particular the corresponding alkali salts.
- MES fatty acid methyl ester sulfonates
- ester cleavage gives them the corresponding sulfo fatty acids or their di-salts, which, like mixtures of di-salts and sulfo-fatty acid methyl ester mono-salts, have important washing and cleaning properties.
- comparable problems also occur in other surfactant classes when trying to display the corresponding surfactant raw materials in dry form.
- a final bleaching for example with aqueous hydrogen peroxide, is generally required in their synthesis, so that here, too, today's technology leads to aqueous paste form.
- APG pastes Such aqueous alkyl glycoside pastes (APG pastes) are more at risk from hydrolysis or microbial contamination, for example, than corresponding dry products.
- simple drying according to the technologies customary to date presents considerable difficulties.
- drying an aqueous paste of the alkali salts of detergent soaps and / or ABS pastes can also cause considerable problems.
- Granulation is an alternative to spray drying of surfactant pastes.
- European patent application EP 403 148 describes a process for producing FAS granules which are dispersible in cold water. This results in a highly concentrated aqueous FAS paste which contains less than 14% by weight of water and less than 20% by weight of further additives contains, mechanically processed at temperatures between 10 and 45 ° C until granules are formed. In this way, FAS granules are obtained which are already dispersed at washing temperatures between 4 and 30 ° C; however, the process temperature to be observed and the relatively low maximum water content of the surfactant paste are critical process parameters. In addition, it is not disclosed what bulk densities the granules produced by this process have.
- a method for producing FAS and / or ABS granules is known from European patent application EP 402 112, the neutralization of the anionic surfactants in acid form to give a paste with a maximum of 12% by weight of water with the addition of auxiliaries such as polyethylene glycols, ethoxylated alcohols or alkylphenols, which have a melting point above 48 ° C, and the granulation takes place in a high-speed mixer. Again, the amount of water to be maintained represents a critical process parameter. In addition, it is not disclosed which bulk densities the surfactant granules obtained by this process have.
- the object of the invention was to provide a method for producing heavy, free-flowing surfactant granules, in which the content of a non-surfactant liquid component is not a critical process parameter.
- the invention accordingly relates to a process for the production of detergent-active granules having a bulk density above 500 g / l by granulating a surfactant preparation which has a non-surfactant liquid component, a surfactant preparation form which is used under normal pressure at temperatures between 20 and 40 ° C in liquid to pasty form, if desired granulated with the addition of an inorganic or organic solid and dried at the same time.

- the production of anionic surfactants or nonionic surfactants or of mixtures of anionic surfactants and nonionic surfactants is preferred.
- the process according to the invention has advantages over the spray drying process, since the process according to the invention can also be used to produce granules which contain nonionic surfactants which, owing to their known pluming behavior, are not accessible by spray drying. In addition, due to the preferably lower process temperatures and gentle drying, there is no browning of the granules.
