Description

The invention relates to improved builder compositions Solvent residue behavior, obtainable by contacting crystalline layered sodium disilicate and water as well as subsequent Heat treating the builder compositions thus obtained.

The need to save energy in washing and cleaning processes, e.g. at the machine washing of textiles and washing dishes, always requires one greater reduction in water consumption. Detergents and cleaning agents based on water-insoluble builder systems such as zeolite or partially soluble systems such as based on crystalline, layered sodium disilicate are increasingly being used the limit of their performance. As a negative consequence of lowering the One observes water consumption e.g. when washing textiles - especially with dark colored textiles - white residues on the fabrics, that come from undissolved or poorly dispersed builders.

The object of the present invention was to provide a builder composition to provide improved release residue behavior.

EP 0 650 926 describes the roll compaction of crystalline layered Sodium disilicate by roll compaction with the addition of hardening agents such as Water, silica sol, silica gel, surfactants, water glass, maleic acid-acrylic acid polymers and other copolymers. The goal is to produce a counter mechanical abrasion resistant granules. The granulation itself takes place at 15 up to 130 ° C. The compacted material is not preheated because the temperature alone due to the mechanical friction between the compacted material and the compacting rollers is achieved. The dwell time of the compacted material in the roller compactor, the Formation of the flakes and the comminution to the granulate moves overall in the range of fractions of a second to a few seconds.

The heat treatment is preferably carried out at temperatures between 40 and 300 ° C. particularly preferably 60 to 200 ° C, particularly preferably 70 to 150 ° C.

The duration of the heat treatment is preferably 2 to 1000 minutes, especially preferably 2 to 120 min, particularly preferably 10 to 120 min.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the contacting takes place and separately heat treating the builder composition Apparatuses. This can be batchwise batchwise or preferably continuously respectively. In another embodiment, the contacting and the Heat treatment carried out in one apparatus, also continuously can be worked.

In a preferred embodiment, the builder composition obtained after bringing components a) and b) into contact is further mechanically treated. Preferred mechanical further treatments are compacting, granulating, grinding, crushing and / or grain fractionation.
In this context, it should be expressly mentioned that the mechanical further treatment as a whole or in partial steps can take place before and after the heat treatment. Multiple heat treatments at different process stages are also within the meaning of the invention.

In a preferred embodiment, components a) and b) are first brought into contact, then heat-treated and finally mechanically treated.
The components are particularly preferably brought into contact first, then heat-treated, then compacted, then ground / crushed and finally fractionated by grains.
The components are also particularly preferably brought into contact first, then heat-treated, then ground and finally fractionated by means of grains.

Also within the meaning of the invention are embodiments in which the Components a) and b) are brought into contact with one another, then mechanically treated, then heat treated and then again be treated mechanically.

The compacting serves to enlarge the grain (grain build-up). It differs from agglomeration in two ways. A binder does not necessarily have to be used for compacting, which is essential for agglomeration. Furthermore, the powder to be compacted is not only pressed together by the acting pressure and the grains hooked into one another, but rather powder grains are also crushed against one another.
The compacting is preferably press granulation, such as roll compacting or briquetting, particularly preferably roll compacting.
The temperature of the material during the compacting is preferably between 10 and 200 ° C., the desired temperature being able to be controlled by external heating / cooling or by the frictional heat being released by itself. In the case of compacting, the dwell time under pressure is only a few fractions of a second until the resulting scraps are crushed with mills of the relevant type and, if necessary, grain fractionated. The duration of the heating is thus much shorter than in the targeted heat treatment according to the invention and is therefore too short for an improvement in the dissolving residue behavior.
In the case of a continuous driving style, the scraps formed in the roll compacting are immediately comminuted with mills of the relevant type and, if necessary, grain fractionated. The good grain is discharged from the grain fractionation and undersize and oversize are returned to the compactor or the mills in the sense of circulating currents. Even in the case of such a continuous process control, the duration of the heating is much shorter than in the case of the targeted heat treatment.
Roll compacting is preferably carried out with a line pressing force of 2 to 200 kN / cm roll width, particularly preferably 10 to 160 kN / cm roll width, and at a temperature of 20 to 200 ° C. Such an indication makes sense insofar as in roll compaction the area on which the material is actually exposed to pressure is usually difficult to define. The highest pressure acts in the area in which the two concave surfaces of the rollers come closest. This area can only be estimated. Furthermore, the roller surface can be eroded due to material wear, so that no uniform pressure distribution is guaranteed. If a support width of 1 cm is taken as a basis for the abovementioned preferred ranges, then pressures between 2 and 200 kN / cm ² , particularly preferably between 10 and 100 kN / cm ^{2, result} . Suitable roll compactors are, for example, those from the companies Hosokawa-Bepex and Alexanderwerk.

The grinding serves to reduce the grain size of powders and pressed granules and the shredding of flakes. Are preferred for grinding Vibrating mills, ball mills, roller and pendulum roller mills (e.g. those of Neuman & Esser), hammer mills, impact mills or air jet mills (e.g. those from Hosokawa-Alpine).

The grain fractionation classifies the regrind into oversize, undersize, undersize, preferably by screening and / or screening. Screening is particularly preferred. Suitable sieves are e.g. those of the companies Rhewum, Locker or Allgeier.

The builder composition according to the invention is preferably around a powder with an average particle size of 0.1 to 4000 µm, especially preferably 10 to 500 μm, particularly preferably 20 to 200 μm.

In a further preferred embodiment, the Builder composition according to the invention µm granules with a medium Particle size of 200 to 2000 microns, preferably 400 to 900 microns.

The builder composition according to the invention is likewise preferably a ground granulate with an average particle size from 0.1 to 300 µm, preferably 10 to 200 µm.

The builder compositions according to the invention are therefore preferred characterized in that the dissolving residue of an aqueous 0.25 wt .-% solution, at 20 ° C and after stirring for 20 minutes, less than or equal to 50%, preferably less than or is equal to 30%.

The invention also relates to detergents and cleaning agents containing at least one builder composition according to the invention.

The detergents are preferably heavy-duty detergents, compact heavy-duty detergents, compact color detergents, heavy-duty detergents with low bulk density, special detergents, such as stain salts, bleach boosters, curtain detergents, wool detergents, modular detergents and commercial detergents.
The cleaning agents are preferably machine dishwashing detergents and machine dishwashing detergents. Silicates are particularly in demand here because of their good dirt dispersion, their high alkalinity and because of their protective effect on the glass. Glass damage means both the formation of layered deposits on glasses and the erosion of the glass surface - both of which lead to the known undesirable clouding of glasses.

The following examples serve to explain the invention without, however limit.

Determination of the phase composition of the crystalline materials used layered sodium disilicate:

A ground solid sample was measured in a Philips PW1710 X-ray powder diffractometer (CuK alpha 2 radiation, wavelength 1.54439 Angstroms, acceleration voltage 35kV, heating current 28 mA, monochromator,
Scanning speed 3 degrees 2 theta per minute). The measured intensities
were evaluated as follows: substance characteristic peak (d-value in angstroms) Alpha phase 3.29 +/- 0.07, typically 3.31 Beta phase 2.97 +/- 0.06 Delta phase 3.97 +/- 0.08

The crystalline proportions in percent by weight were calculated from the intensities I _a , I _b and I _d - measured in pulses - of the alpha, beta and delta phase using the following formulas: Alpha content: A [%] = 100 * I _a / (I _a + I _b + I _d ) Beta-content: B [%] = 1.41 * 100 * I _b / (I _a + I _d ) Delta content: D [%] = 100 - A - D To determine the X-ray amorphous fraction (AM), the background (impulses) of the X-ray peak at ad value of 2.65 Angstroms was determined (I _am ) and converted into the percentage using the following empirical formula: AM [%] = (I at the -70) * 100/450

In addition to the crystalline components, there are also X-ray amorphous components in an analysis levels A, B, C were corrected for AM.

Compacting, grinding and grain fractionating the builder compositions:

In a roll compactor (company Hosokawa-Bepex) the starting material was with Transported between the compactor rollers using a stuffing screw (setting Level 5). This happened so quickly that a line pressure of 2 to 200 kN / cm roller width, preferably between 10 and 160 kN / cm roller width, originated. The roll rotation was set to levels 3 to 7, the roll gap was 0.1 mm. The resulting slugs (length approx. 50mm, thickness approx. 2 to 5 mm, width approx. 10 to 15 mm) were in a hammer mill (type UPZ, Alpine) with a sieve hole diameter of 5mm at one speed broken from 600 to 1400 rpm. From the broken powdery product oversize (sieve with a hole diameter of 1000 µm) and undersize (sieve with Hole diameter 300 µm) separated. The oversize became another Subjected to grinding step and sieved again. The two groups with Particle sizes between 300 µm and 1000 µm were combined.

Determination of the grain distribution of the builder compositions by Sieve analysis:

The inserts with the desired screens were inserted into a Retsch screening machine. The mesh size of the sieves decreased from top to bottom. 50 g of the powder to be examined were placed on the widest sieve. The powder material was conveyed through the various sieves by the oscillating movement of the sieving machine. The residues on the sieves were balanced and calculated based on the weight of the material. The d ₅₀ value could be calculated from the values.
