Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the production of granular detergents which are primarily intended for textile washing.
  • Detergents especially those intended for household use, are generally not marketed as simple mixtures of their constituents, but rather in the form of granular preparations in which all or the majority of the constituents are mixed intimately in the individual grains available.
  • This form has various advantages when using detergents, of which only the extensive absence of dust and the security against segregation during transport should be mentioned.
  • Such granular detergents can be produced in various ways. Methods are known for converting the individual constituents of the detergents into the granular form by compacting granulation, for example using extrusion presses. There are also processes in which the finely divided constituents are agglomerated to form larger particles with the aid of liquids, for example alkali silicate solutions (US Pat. No. 4,207,197, US Pat. No.
  • the spray drying process has long been preferred for the continuous production of large quantities of granular detergents.
  • an aqueous slurry of the detergent components is dried in free tow by hot gases to form granular products in large towers.
  • these products also have various technical advantages over detergents obtained by other processes.
  • a disadvantage has recently emerged, however, that the granular detergents obtained by spray drying usually have only low bulk densities of rarely more than 550 g / l, because this means that relatively large containers are required and a lot of packaging material is required. For this reason, efforts have recently been made to find ways to do it allow to retain the advantages of spray drying, but to increase the bulk density of the products so produced.
  • the present invention is also based on the object of producing a spray-dried detergent with a higher bulk density, although the disadvantages of the previously known processes are to be avoided.
  • the invention relates to a method for increasing the bulk density of spray-dried detergent, in which the spray-dried granular material is sprayed simultaneously or in succession in a mixing unit with a liquid nonionic surfactant and an aqueous solution of an alkali silicate.
  • This method is preferably carried out in a mixing unit which has a horizontally arranged cylindrical mixing drum in which mixing tools rotate on a horizontally running axis.
  • the new process is distinguished from the previously known ones by the fact that a further increase in the bulk density can be achieved by using silicate solution without the grains being sticky.
  • the granular detergent is surprisingly free-flowing immediately after leaving the mixing unit without the need for a separate drying step.
  • the method is suitable for spray-dried detergents of any composition, but is preferably carried out with detergent tower powders which already have a relatively high bulk density. It is particularly preferably applied to those detergent tower powders which contain little or no phosphate and in which as essential builder component sodium aluminum silicate is contained in the form of zeolite.

  • Usable surfactants of the sulfonate type are linear alkylbenzenesulfonates (C9-13-alkyl) and olefin sulfonates, i.e. H. Mixtures of alkene and hydroxylalkanesulfonates and disulfonates, such as those obtained, for example, from C12 ⁇ 18 monoolefins with terminal or internal double bond by sulfonation with gaseous sulfur trioxide and subsequent alkaline hydrolysis of the sulfonation products.
  • alkanesulfonates which are obtainable from G12 ⁇ 18 alkanes by sulfochlorination or sulfoxidation and subsequent hydrolysis or neutralization, and also alpha-sulfonated hydrogenated coconut, palm kernel or tallow fatty acids and their methyl or ethyl esters and mixtures thereof.
  • the sulfosuccinic acid esters with preferably 8 to 16 carbon atoms in the alcohol groups are also suitable.
  • Suitable surfactants of the sulfate type are the sulfuric acid monoesters long-chain alcohols of natural and synthetic origin, ie from fatty alcohols, such as. B. coconut fatty alcohols, tallow fatty alcohols, oleyl alcohol, lauryl, myristyl, palmityl or stearyl alcohol, or the C10 ⁇ 18 oxo alcohols and the sulfuric acid esters of secondary alcohols of this chain length.

  • the powder can also be stored for any length of time, but this generally only plays a role in the event of production interruptions. A continuous flow of material is always advantageous, for which the method according to the invention is particularly suitable.
  • all dry mixers are suitable for the process according to the invention, which allow the uniform application of liquids to the grain and do not have such a compacting effect that the grains are caked more strongly during the mixing process.
  • Fast-running mixers are preferred, the speed of the mixing tools should be such that comminution of the individual grains of the tower powder is largely avoided.
  • the exact conditions depend on the internal structure of the mixer and are adapted to the strength of the tower powder and its ability to absorb liquids quickly. Continuously operating mixing units are preferably used.
  • This mixing device consists of an elongated mixing drum of substantially cylindrical shape, which is mounted horizontally or moderately descending against the horizontal and is equipped with at least one filler neck or funnel and a discharge opening.
  • a central, rotatable shaft is arranged, which carries several radially aligned striking tools. When rotating, these should be at a certain distance from the smooth inner wall of the drum.
  • the length of the striking tools should be 80% to 98%, preferably 85% to 95% of the inner radius of the mixing drum.
  • the shape of the striking tools can be any, i. H. they can be straight or angled, of uniform cross-section or pointed, rounded or widened at their ends. Their cross-section can be circular or angular with rounded edges. Different shaped tools can also be combined. Those with a drop-shaped or wedge-shaped cross-section have proven themselves, a flat or rounded surface pointing in the direction of rotation, since with such tools the compaction effect outweighs the comminution effect.
  • the tools can be mounted diametrically in pairs or in a star shape on the shaft in order to avoid imbalances. A spiral arrangement has proven to be advantageous. The number of tools is not critical, but it is advisable to arrange them at a distance of 5 to 25 cm in the interest of high efficiency.
  • the conveying of the mixed material in the mixer can also be accomplished or accelerated by means of additional conveyor blades.
  • These conveyor blades can be arranged individually or in pairs between the mixing tools.
  • the degree of delivery can be regulated by the angle of attack of the blades.

  • the speed of rotation of the shaft, taking the Froude number into account is above 800 rpm (revolutions per minute), usually between 1,000 and 3,000 rpm. With larger mixers it can be reduced accordingly.
  • the residence time of the powder in this mixer depends on the performance of the system and the size of the desired effect. It should preferably be not less than 10 seconds and not more than 60 seconds, in particular it is 20 to 50 seconds. It can be adjusted to a certain extent by the inclination of the mixer, by the shape and arrangement of the striking and conveying tools also influence by the amount of powder supplied and removed. By reducing the initial cross section, a certain back pressure and thus an increase in the residence time in the mixer can be achieved.
  • the mixer should be operated so that a constant powder throughput takes place after the start-up time, i. H. that the amount of powder fed and taken out is the same and constant at all times.
  • the Froude number should be 50 to 1,200, preferably 100 to 800 and in particular 250 to 500.
  • the powder can heat up slightly.
  • additional cooling is generally unnecessary and is only required if the powder added tends to stick at elevated temperature.
  • this problem can advantageously be solved by cooling the tower powder sufficiently beforehand, for example in the case of pneumatic conveying.
  • the nonionic surfactant and the silicate solution are fed into the mixer in separate streams in the area in which intensive mechanical processing of the powder takes place. It has proven advantageous to arrange the feeds in the mixer wall.
  • the otherwise generally customary arrangement of short spray nozzles in the hollow rotating shaft makes it necessary to use spray nozzles at low rotational speeds which work with excess pressure or are operated according to the principle of the perfume atomizer with compressed air. This method of operation also requires expenditure for pressure pumps or dust extraction systems for the compressed air discharged from the mixer.
  • the arrangement in the mixer wall does not require comparable investments.
  • the liquids supplied can spread out on the inner wall and are constantly absorbed, distributed and adsorbed by the powder hitting the wall.
  • the outlet nozzles arranged on the hollow shaft are advantageously extended to such an extent that they protrude into the powder flow. Due to the increased centrifugal forces, this enables compressed air-free conveying and atomization of the liquids, which are then distributed and absorbed by the powder stream.
  • the number of feeds is expediently from 1 to 10, with an arrangement in the cylinder wall preferably being arranged laterally in the region of the ascending powder stream. If several feeds are arranged one behind the other, the last one should be installed far enough in front of the outlet opening that the escaping liquids are still distributed homogeneously.

  • High-melting compounds are melted beforehand and fed in at temperatures above the melting point.
  • the powder in motion also expediently has a minimum temperature which is in the region of the melting point of the nonionic surfactant or above. This temperature range can be easily adjusted by a suitable product guide after the spray drying.
  • the nonionic surfactant can be introduced into the powder in this way. It is also possible to spray part of it add and only enter the rest via the mixer. In principle, however, surfactants with a low degree of ethoxylation (low HLB value) should only be incorporated via the mixer.
  • the proportion which is introduced via the tower spray powder is preferably not more than 50% by weight, based on the total content of nonionic surfactant in the finished product. 0.5 to 10% by weight, in particular 1 to 7% by weight, of nonionic surfactant, based on tower powder, is preferably introduced into the mixer.
  • the solution of alkali silicate, which is applied to the powder separately from the nonionic surfactant in the mixer, should preferably be as concentrated as possible.
  • the solution can be fed in simultaneously with the nonionic surfactant, but also shortly before or after it.
  • the amount of silicate solution that is applied in the mixer is preferably in a weight ratio of 2: 1 to 1: 2 to the applied nonionic surfactant. In a particularly preferred embodiment, approximately equal amounts by weight of both liquids are applied in the mixer.
  • the products leaving the mixer are exceptionally free-flowing and do not require any post-treatment, especially no post-drying. This also applies if larger amounts of nonionic surfactants are applied, which would lead to poorly flowing to sticky grains on their own. For this reason, it is also not necessary to additionally incorporate dry, moisture-absorbing powders during the mixing process in order to reduce the stickiness by superficial deposition of the powder on the grains.
  • the addition of other solids, for example zeolite or finely powdered inorganic salts, which are to be combined with the tower powder is of course also possible in the process according to the invention if this is desired for other reasons.
  • the products obtained can be processed immediately after leaving the mixer, that is, filled into shipping containers or with other components of the finished detergent, such as bleach (e.g. sodium perborate as monohydrate or tetrahydrate), bleach activators (e.g. granulated tetraacetylethylenediamine), enzyme granules and defoamers (e.g. silicone or paraffin defoamers applied to the carrier material).
