Description

Bleichaktivatoren sind wichtige Bestandteile in Kompaktwaschmitteln, Fleckensalzen und Maschinengeschirrspülmitteln. Sie ermöglichen bereits bei 40-60°C ein der Kochwäsche vergleichbares Bleichergebnis, indem sie mit Wasserstoffperoxidspendern (meist Perborate oder Percarbonate) unter Freisetzung einer organischen Peroxicarbonsäure reagieren.Bleach activators are important components in compact detergents, stain removal salts and machine dishwashing detergents. Already at 40-60 ° C they enable a bleaching result comparable to that of boilers by reacting with hydrogen peroxide dispensers (mostly perborates or percarbonates) to release an organic peroxycarboxylic acid.

Das erzielbare Bleichergebnis wird bestimmt durch Art und Reaktivität der gebildeten Peroxicarbonsäure, die Struktur der zu perhydrolysierenden Bindung sowie die Wasserlöslichkeit des Bleichaktivators. Da es sich meist um einen reaktiven Ester oder ein Amid handelt, ist es in vielen Fällen notwendig, ihn für das vorgesehene Einsatzgebiet in granulierter oder gecoateter Form einzusetzen, um eine Hydrolyse in Gegenwart alkalischer Waschmittelbestandteile zu verhindern und eine ausreichende Lagerstabilität zu gewährleisten.The achievable bleaching result is determined by the type and reactivity of the peroxycarboxylic acid formed, the structure of the bond to be hydrolyzed and the water solubility of the bleach activator. Since it is usually a reactive ester or an amide, it is often necessary to use it in granulated or coated form for the intended application in order to prevent hydrolysis in the presence of alkaline detergent components and to ensure adequate storage stability.

Zur Granulierung dieser Substanzen sind in der Vergangenheit zahlreiche Hilfsstoffe und Verfahren beschrieben worden. In EP-A-0 037 026 wird ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines leicht löslichen Aktivatorgranulates mit Aktivgehalten zwischen 90-98 Gew.-% beschrieben. Dazu wird der pulverförmige Bleichaktivator mit ebenfalls pulverförmigen Cellulose- oder Stärkeethern homogen vermischt und anschließend mit Wasser oder einer wäßrigen Lösung des Celluloseethers besprüht, gleichzeitig granuliert und anschließend getrocknet.Numerous auxiliaries and processes have been described in the past for granulating these substances. EP-A-0 037 026 describes a process for producing easily soluble activator granules with active contents between 90-98% by weight. For this purpose, the pulverulent bleach activator is homogeneously mixed with likewise pulverulent cellulose or starch ethers and then sprayed with water or an aqueous solution of the cellulose ether, granulated at the same time and then dried.

Nach EP-A-0 070 474 können ähnliche Granulate hergestellt werden, indem wäßrige Aufschlämmungen, enthaltend den Aktivator und den Celluloseether, sprühgetrocknet werden. Granulate bestehend aus Bleichaktivator, Celluloseethern und Zusätzen einer organischen C₃-C₆-Carbon- oder -Hydroxycarbonsäure werden in WO 90/01535 und WO 92/13798 beschrieben. Während in WO 90/01535 die organische Carbonsäure in den Granulatkern eingearbeitet wird, um seine Löslichkeit zu beschleunigen, wird in WO 92/13798 die Carbonsäure in einer zusätzlichen Coatingstufe auf das fertige Granulat aufgebracht. Der saure Schutzmantel soll ein Spotting des Bleichmittels verhindern und zur Farbschonung des Gewebes beitragen. In WO 94/03395 wird zum gleichen Zweck die Verwendung saurer Polymerverbindungen mit einer Wasserlöslichkeit >5 g/L (bei 20°C) und Molekulargewichten von 1 000 bis 250 000 beansprucht.According to EP-A-0 070 474, similar granules can be produced by spray-drying aqueous slurries containing the activator and the cellulose ether. Granules consisting of bleach activator, cellulose ethers and additives of an organic C₃-C₆ carbon or -Hydroxycarboxylic acid are described in WO 90/01535 and WO 92/13798. While in WO 90/01535 the organic carboxylic acid is incorporated into the granulate core to accelerate its solubility, in WO 92/13798 the carboxylic acid is applied to the finished granulate in an additional coating step. The acidic protective coat is intended to prevent spotting of the bleaching agent and to protect the color of the fabric. For the same purpose, WO 94/03395 claims the use of acidic polymer compounds with a water solubility> 5 g / L (at 20 ° C.) and molecular weights of 1,000 to 250,000.

Ebenfalls Stand der Technik (GB-A 1 507 312) sind Granulate von Bleichaktivatoren, in denen Gemische von Seifen und freien Fettsäuren als Granulierhilfsmittel zum Einsatz kommen.Also state of the art (GB-A 1 507 312) are granules of bleach activators, in which mixtures of soaps and free fatty acids are used as granulation aids.

Ein wasserfreies Herstellverfahren ist aus EP-A-0 075 818 bekannt. Dazu wird der Bleichaktivator zusammen mit einem organischen Bindemittel, z.B. einem Fettalkoholethoxylat, durch Kompaktierung unter Druck zu Teilchen mit Durchmessern von 0.5 - 3 mm verpreßt.An anhydrous manufacturing process is known from EP-A-0 075 818. For this purpose the bleach activator is used together with an organic binder, e.g. a fatty alcohol ethoxylate, compressed by compression under pressure to form particles with a diameter of 0.5-3 mm.

Für die meisten der genannten Granulierverfahren ist Voraussetzung, daß der zu granulierende Bleichaktivator ein Feststoff ist und einen hohen Schmelzpunkt aufweist. Dies ist notwendig, damit er bei der Herstellung nicht mit dem Binder oder vorhandenem Wasser abreagiert und zersetzt wird. So werden z.B. in DE-OS-2 048 331 solche Aktivatoren bevorzugt, die einen Schmelzpunkt von vorzugsweise mindestens 100°C, insbesondere wenigstens 150°C aufweisen.For most of the granulation processes mentioned, it is a prerequisite that the bleach activator to be granulated is a solid and has a high melting point. This is necessary so that it does not react and decompose with the binder or existing water during production. For example, in DE-OS-2 048 331 such activators are preferred which have a melting point of preferably at least 100 ° C., in particular at least 150 ° C.

Als Bindemittel wurden bisher überwiegend organische Verbindungen verwendet. Hieraus können sich jedoch Probleme ergeben, die die Verwendung der Granulate einschränken.So far, mostly organic compounds have been used as binders. However, this can result in problems which restrict the use of the granules.

Werden oberflächenaktive Verbindungen eingesetzt, wie Seifen, Fettsäuren, anionische Tenside oder Fettalkoholethoxylate, so sind die damit hergestellten Granulate zum Einsatz in Maschinengeschirrspülmitteln ungeeignet, da unter Waschbedingungen Schaumprobleme auftreten. Dies ist selbst bei Verwendung normalerweise schwach schäumender hochethoxylierter Fettalkohole der Fall. Zum Einsatz in Maschinengeschirrspülmitteln werden daher überwiegend Aktivatorgranulate verwendet, deren Bindemittel aus Celluloseethern besteht. Die biologische Abbaubarkeit dieser Produktgruppe ist jedoch mäßig.If surface-active compounds are used, such as soaps, fatty acids, anionic surfactants or fatty alcohol ethoxylates, then those produced are Granules are unsuitable for use in machine dishwashing detergents because foam problems occur under washing conditions. This is the case even when using normally low-foaming, highly ethoxylated fatty alcohols. Activator granules whose binders consist of cellulose ethers are therefore predominantly used for use in machine dishwashing detergents. However, the biodegradability of this product group is moderate.

Ein weiteres Problem stellen geeignete Granulate zum Einsatz in Fleckensalzen dar. Moderne Formulierungen bestehen aus Mischungen von Percarbonat und TAED-Granulaten. Um eine exotherme Zersetzung dieser Mischungen (Percarbonat als brandfördernder Stoff in Kombination mit organischem Material) bei Herstellung und Lagerung zu unterbinden, werden häufig Inertmaterialien, wie Natriumcarbonat, -hydrogencarbonat oder -sulfat zugegeben. Für diesen Anwendungsbereich wären inerte Binde- oder Coatingmittel von großem Interesse.Suitable granules for use in stain salts represent a further problem. Modern formulations consist of mixtures of percarbonate and TAED granules. In order to prevent exothermic decomposition of these mixtures (percarbonate as a fire-promoting substance in combination with organic material) during manufacture and storage, inert materials such as sodium carbonate, hydrogen carbonate or sulfate are often added. Inert binders or coating agents would be of great interest for this area of application.

Es besteht daher weiterhin Bedarf an geeigneten Aktivator-Granulaten, die aus ökologischer Sicht unproblematisch, universell einsetzbar und kostengünstig herzustellen sind.There is therefore still a need for suitable activator granules which are unproblematic from an ecological point of view, can be used universally and are inexpensive to produce.

Anorganische Materialien als Träger für Bleichaktivatoren sind an sich bekannt. So wird in DE-OS-2 733 849 die Adsorption flüssiger Aktivatoren, wie Diacetylmethylamin, Diacetylbutylamin oder Acetylcaprolactam, an anorganische Adsorbentien, wie Kieselgur, Magnesium-Aluminium-, Natrium- oder Calciumaluminiumsilikate, aktivierte Kieselsäure oder Aluminiumoxid, vorgeschlagen. Es wird jedoch nicht gelehrt, wie diese Teilchen in geeignete, lagerstabile Granulate überführt werden können.Inorganic materials as carriers for bleach activators are known per se. DE-OS-2 733 849 thus proposes the adsorption of liquid activators, such as diacetylmethylamine, diacetylbutylamine or acetylcaprolactam, onto inorganic adsorbents, such as diatomaceous earth, magnesium-aluminum, sodium or calcium aluminum silicates, activated silica or aluminum oxide. However, it is not taught how these particles can be converted into suitable, storage-stable granules.

Weiterhin können nach GB-A-2 249 104 Partikel hergestellt werden, in denen ein an sich fester Bleichaktivator in fein verteilter Form auf anorganischem Trägermaterial abgelagert ist. Hierzu werden Aktivator und Trägermaterial zunächst innig gemischt und ein organisches Lösemittel (Ethanol oder Toluol) hinzugefügt, wobei der Aktivator in Lösung geht. Durch anschließende Abdestillation des Lösemittels wird der Aktivator in feinst verteilter Form auf dem Träger abgelagert. Die bevorzugte Korngrößenverteilung der erfindungsgemäßen Partikel liegt zwischen 60 und 250 µm. Diese Schrift lehrt nicht, wie aus den Aktivator-beladenen Partikeln lagerstabile Granulate hergestellt werden können.According to GB-A-2 249 104 particles can also be produced in which a bleach activator which is solid per se is deposited in finely divided form on an inorganic carrier material. For this purpose, activator and carrier material are first mixed intimately and an organic solvent (ethanol or toluene) added, with the activator going into solution. Subsequent distillation of the solvent causes the activator to be deposited on the carrier in finely divided form. The preferred particle size distribution of the particles according to the invention is between 60 and 250 μm. This document does not teach how storage-stable granules can be produced from the particles loaded with activator.

Daneben sind aus EP-A-0 240 057 Bleichaktivator-Granulate bekannt, die durch Vermischen eines Aktivators mit anorganischen oder organischen Salzen, filmbildenden Polymeren und geringen Mengen Smectite oder Aluminiumsilikate und anschließender Granulierung in Gegenwart von Wasser hergestellt werden. Nach erfolgter Granulierung ist eine kostenintensive Trockenstufe notwendig, um lagerstabile Granulate zu erhalten.In addition, EP-A-0 240 057 discloses bleach activator granules which are prepared by mixing an activator with inorganic or organic salts, film-forming polymers and small amounts of smectite or aluminum silicates and then granulating in the presence of water.

Zur Herstellung der Granulate wird zunächst in einem Mischaggregat (z.B. Pflugscharmischer) die Mischung aus Bleichaktivator und Bindemittel innig vermischt (Schritt a). In einem zweiten Schritt wird das Gemisch zu größeren Partikeln verpreßt (Schritt b). Geeignet hierfür sind u.a. Walzenkompaktoren. Die Preßlinge werden anschließend der Zerkleinerung (Mahlung) unterworfen und auf die gewünschte Korngröße zerkleinert (Schritt c). Zu diesem Zweck eignen sich Zahnscheibenwalzen und/oder Passiersiebe.To produce the granules, the mixture of bleach activator and binder is intimately mixed in a mixing unit (e.g. ploughshare mixer) (step a). In a second step, the mixture is pressed into larger particles (step b). Suitable for this include Roller compactors. The compacts are then subjected to comminution (grinding) and comminuted to the desired grain size (step c). Toothed pulley rollers and / or strainers are suitable for this purpose.

Feinanteil und Grobgut werden abgesiebt und in den Prozeß zurückgeführt. Während der Grobanteil direkt einer erneuten Zerkleinerung zugeführt wird, wird der Feinanteil der Kompaktierstufe zugesetzt. Die Korngröße des Produktes liegt im allgemeinen im Bereich von 100-2000 µm, vorzugsweise 300-1800 µm. Das Schüttgewicht der erfindungsgemäßen Granulate liegt damit oberhalb 500 kg/m³, vorzugsweise oberhalb 600 kg/m³.Fine fraction and coarse material are screened off and returned to the process. While the coarse fraction is directly re-shredded, the fine fraction is added to the compacting stage. The grain size of the product is generally in the range of 100-2000 microns, preferably 300-1800 microns. The bulk density of the granules according to the invention is thus above 500 kg / m³, preferably above 600 kg / m³.

Zusätze eines Farbstoffes sind ebenfalls möglich.Acidic coating materials increase the storage stability of the granules in percarbonate-containing, highly alkaline formulations and suppress color damage caused by spotting. Additions of a dye are also possible.

Das Aufbringen der Coatingmaterialien erfolgt in der Regel durch Aufsprühen der geschmolzenen oder in einem Lösemittel gelösten Coatingmaterialien.
