Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the production of rapidly disintegrating bentonite granules and bentonite granules which can be obtained by this process.
- Detergent formulations use bentonites to create a built-in soft-grip effect. These bentonites have a high swelling capacity, especially when activated as sodium bentonite. In the application, however, difficulties arise because rapidly forms a gel layer on the surface of the bentonite particles in contact with water, which hinders the further access of water. After a rapid initial formation of the gel layer, therefore, the decay of the bentonite granules slows down in the water, because the core of the particles remains stable for a long time and is only very slowly swollen by the penetrating water and thus decays.
- This paste is then extruded through a 4 to 10 mm diameter orifice and the extrudate is dried to a moisture content of 10 to 14% by weight. After drying, the extrudates are calcined at 120 to 250 ° C until they have an ignition loss of less than 4% at 190 ° C.
- the bentonite extrudates are then comminuted again. For the preparation of this bentonite with a low swelling capacity a bentonite is already used as starting material, which even after activation with sodium ions in contact with water only in proportion swells small extent or shows only a slight tendency to form a gel.
- Bentonite agglomerates are described, which are prepared by spraying finely divided bentonite with sodium silicate as a binder.
- the agglomerates contain 1 to 5% binder. Although they have a different bulk density, the agglomerates do not separate from the other detergent ingredients after incorporation into detergent powder because they have an irregular surface.
- the agglomerates have an increased stability, so that they do not disintegrate in the further production steps of the detergent production. Nevertheless, they dissolve easily on contact with water.
- a clay is used which has large proportions of montmorillonite. Particular preference is given to using a sodium bentonite.
- the Na 2 O content of the agglomerates should be at least 0.5%, preferably at least 1%, particularly preferably at least 2%.
- a water glass with a modulus Na 2 O: SiO 2 of 1: 1.6 to 1: 3.2, preferably 1: 2 to 1: 2.8 or 1: 3.0 is used for binding the bentonite agglomerates.

Furthermore, it is described that when using water glass solutions with another module Na 2 O: SiO 2 , which is chosen within a range of 1: 2 to 1: 3, a good agglomeration can be achieved, non-dusting agglomerates are obtained.

If the resulting agglomerates are compared in their softening properties with agglomerates obtained by agglomeration of the same bentonite with dilute sodium silicate solution, the agglomerates described first have much better properties.
- the detergent additive contains (A) 30 to 90% by weight of a layered silicate, (B) 1 to 40% by weight of fine crystalline synthetic Zeolite NaA, (C) 0 to 30% by weight of water-soluble salts from the class of sulphates, carbonates, silicates and phosphates of sodium or potassium, and (D) the remainder to 100% by weight of water.
- the detergent additives are free of phosphates and alkali silicates.
- Preferred components of group (C) are sodium sulfate and sodium carbonate, both of which are used as anhydrous salts individually or in admixture.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung schnell zerfallender Bentonitgranulate sowie Bentonitgranulate, welche mit diesem Verfahren erhalten werden können.The invention relates to a process for the production of rapidly disintegrating bentonite granules and bentonite granules which can be obtained by this process.
In Waschmittelformulierungen werden Bentonite für die Erzeugung eines eingebauten Weichgriffeffektes eingesetzt. Diese Bentonite weisen insbesondere im aktivierten Zustand als Natriumbentonit ein hohes Quellvermögen auf. Bei der Anwendung ergeben sich jedoch Schwierigkeiten, da sich auf der Oberfläche der Bentonitpartikel beim Kontakt mit Wasser rasch eine Gelschicht ausbildet, welche den weiteren Zutritt von Wasser behindert. Nach einer raschen anfänglichen Ausbildung der Gelschicht verlangsamt sich daher der Zerfall der Bentonitgranulate im Wasser, da der Kern der Partikel über längere Zeit stabil bleibt und erst sehr langsam durch das eindringende Wasser aufgequollen wird und damit zerfällt. Letztlich führt dies dazu, dass ein erheblicher Anteil des Bentonitgranulats mit der Waschlauge ausgetragen wird oder dass größere Bentonitpartikel auf den Fasern der gewaschenen Stoffe zurückbleiben. In beiden Fällen gehen also erhebliche Anteile des eingesetzten Bentonits verloren und können nicht zum Weichgriffeffekt beitragen.Detergent formulations use bentonites to create a built-in soft-grip effect. These bentonites have a high swelling capacity, especially when activated as sodium bentonite. In the application, however, difficulties arise because rapidly forms a gel layer on the surface of the bentonite particles in contact with water, which hinders the further access of water. After a rapid initial formation of the gel layer, therefore, the decay of the bentonite granules slows down in the water, because the core of the particles remains stable for a long time and is only very slowly swollen by the penetrating water and thus decays. Ultimately, this means that a significant portion of the bentonite granules is discharged with the wash liquor or that larger bentonite particles remain on the fibers of the washed fabrics. In both cases, therefore, go considerable Shares of bentonite used lost and can not contribute to the soft grip effect.
Hochquellende Bentonite können potenziell auch in Waschmitteltabletten eingesetzt werden, wo sie zusätzlich als Tablettensprengmittel wirken können. Dies ist aber nur dann möglich, wenn der Zerfall der Bentonitpartikel schnell erfolgt. Bei Waschmitteltabletten werden im Vergleich zu normalem Pulverwaschmittel noch höhere Anforderungen an den Zerfall gestellt, um zu gewährleisten, dass keine gröberen Partikel auf der gewaschenen Wäsche verbleiben. Hier ist es also besonders wichtig, dass die Waschmitteltabletten möglichst rasch in der Waschflotte zerfallen.Highly swelling bentonites can potentially also be used in detergent tablets, where they can also act as a disintegrating agent. However, this is only possible if the disintegration of the bentonite particles takes place rapidly. Detergent tablets have even higher requirements for disintegration compared to normal powder detergents to ensure that no coarser particles remain on the washed laundry. So here it is particularly important that the detergent tablets disintegrate as quickly as possible in the wash liquor.

Üblicherweise werden dabei Wassergläser mit einem Modul Na2O:SiO2 von etwa 2,4 eingesetzt. Die Wassergläser müssen stark alkalisch sein, um zu verhindern, dass eine vorzeitige Polymerisierung des Wasserglases eintritt. Dies würde zu einer Verfestigung der Granulate führen und damit zu einem schlechten Zerfall in der Waschlauge. Die Bentonitgranulate werden zu Waschmittelzusammensetzungen weiterverarbeitet, wozu die Bentonitgranulate nach der Herstellung zunächst verpackt und dann bspw. zum Waschmittelproduzenten transportiert werden müssen. Dabei geraten Arbeiter in Kontakt mit den Bentonitgranulaten bzw. dem aus ihnen entwickelten Staub. Wegen der stark alkalischen Eigenschaften des Wasserglases, insbesondere, wenn dies in höheren Mengen eingesetzt wird, wirkt das Bentonitgranulat reizend, d. h. bei der Handhabung der Bentonitgranulate müssen entsprechende Sicherheitsvorkehrungen getroffen werden.The use of water glass as a binder for the production of bentonite agglomerates, as are customary in detergent additives, has been known for some time. Typically, water glasses with a modulus of Na 2 O: SiO 2 of about 2.4 are used. The water glasses must be strongly alkaline to prevent premature polymerization of the water glass. This would lead to a solidification of the granules and thus to a poor disintegration in the wash liquor. The bentonite granules become detergent compositions further processed, for which the bentonite granules must first be packaged after production and then, for example, transported to the detergent producer. In the process, workers come into contact with the bentonite granules or the dust they produce. Because of the highly alkaline properties of the water glass, especially when used in higher amounts, the bentonite granules are irritating, ie when handling the bentonite granules appropriate safety precautions must be taken.
Der Erfindung lag nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Bentonitgranulaten zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit welchem Bentonitgranulate erhalten werden, die ohne größere Sicherheitsvorkehrungen handhabbar sind. Die Granulate sollten über längere Zeit gelagert werden können und in der Waschflotte einen schnellen Zerfall zeigen.The invention was based on the object to provide a process for the production of bentonite granules are available, which are obtained with which bentonite granules that can be handled without major safety precautions. The granules should be able to be stored for a long time and show rapid disintegration in the wash liquor.
Die Aufgabe wird mit einem Verfahren mit dem Merkmal des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des Verfahrens sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.The object is achieved by a method having the feature of patent claim 1. Advantageous developments of the method are the subject of the dependent claims.
Überraschend wurde gefunden, dass bei Verwendung von mit Alkalimetallionen überaktiviertem Bentonit Granulate erhalten werden können, die einen sehr schnellen Zerfall in Wasser zeigen. Der in das Wasser bzw. eine Waschflotte eingebrachte Bentonit kann sich daher in Zeiträumen, wie sie beim Ablauf eines normalen Waschzyklus in einer Waschmaschine zur Verfügung stehen, vollständig auflösen und steht daher vollständig für die Erzeugung eines guten Weichgriffeffekt bei der Anwendung auf Textilien zur Verfügung. Die Verluste durch den Austrag nicht gelöster Bentonitpartikel mit dem Waschwasser können minimiert werden und es verbleiben keine Rückstände von größeren Bentonitagglomeraten auf den gewaschenen Textilien.Surprisingly, it has been found that when using bentonite which has been overactivated with alkali metal ions, it is possible to obtain granules which show a very rapid decomposition in water. The bentonite introduced into the water or a wash liquor can therefore dissolve completely during periods of time available in a washing machine at the end of a normal washing cycle and is therefore completely available for the production of a good softening effect when applied to textiles. The losses due to the discharge of undissolved bentonite particles with the wash water can be minimized and there are no residues of larger bentonite agglomerates on the washed textiles.
Die besten Quelleigenschaften von Bentoniten in Wasser werden an sich mit stöchiometrisch mit Alkalimetallionen aktiviertem Bentonit erreicht. Wird die zum Aktivieren des Bentonits verwendete Alkalimenge weiter erhöht, sinkt das Quellvolumen wieder ab. Man erwartet daher an sich die besten Quelleigenschaften und damit einen raschen Zerfall des Granulats bei Verwendung eines stöchiometisch aktivierten Bentonits. Überraschend hat sich jedoch gezeigt, dass bei der Granulierung mit Wasserglas die Granulate, die einen überstöchiometrisch mit Alkalimetallionen aktivierten Bentonit enthalten, einen schnelleren Zerfall zeigen, als Granulate, die aus einem stöchiometrisch aktivierten Bentonit hergestellt wurden.The best swelling properties of bentonites in water are achieved per se with stoichiometrically activated with alkali metal ions bentonite. If the amount of alkali used to activate the bentonite is further increased, the volume of the source decreases again. Therefore, one expects the best swelling properties and thus a rapid disintegration of the granules when using a stoichiometrically activated bentonite. Surprisingly, however, it has been shown that in the granulation with waterglass, the granules containing a more than stoichiometrically activated with alkali metal ions bentonite, show a faster disintegration, than granules, which were prepared from a stoichiometrically activated bentonite.
Ohne von dieser Theorie gebunden sein zu wollen, nehmen die Erfinder an, dass der Eintrag von Ionen über die zur Aktivierung benötigte Menge hinaus zu einer elektrostatischen Abschirmung der negativen Ladungen der Bentonitplättchen führt.Without wishing to be bound by this theory, the inventors believe that addition of ions beyond the amount needed for activation results in electrostatic shielding of the bentonite plate negative charges.
Bei der Herstellung der schnell zerfallenden Bentonitgranulate wird in der Weise vorgegangen, dassIn the production of rapidly disintegrating bentonite granules, the procedure is such that
ein mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierter Bentonit bereitgestellt wird, welcher mit zumindest 110 % seiner Kationenaustauschkapazität mit Alkalimetallionen überaktiviert ist; undprovided with alkali metal ion overactivated bentonite which is overactivated with at least 110% of its cation exchange capacity with alkali metal ions; and
der mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierte Bentonit mit einer Wasserglaslösung granuliert wird.the over-activated with alkali metal ions bentonite is granulated with a water glass solution.
Unter einem mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierten Bentonit wird ein Bentonit verstanden, welcher mit einer größeren Menge einer Alkalimetallverbindung, bspw. Soda oder Kaliumoxalat, umgesetzt wurde, als dies seiner Kationenaustauschkapazität entspricht. Die Kationenaustauschkapazität wird am Ausgangsmaterial, also dem nicht aktivierten Bentonit, bestimmt, indem die austauschbaren Kationen zunächst gegen Ammoniumionen ausgetauscht werden und anschließend der Stickstoffgehalt des gewaschenen und getrockneten Bentonits durch Elementaranalyse ermittelt wird. Aus der gefundenen Menge an austauschbaren Kationen kann dann die einzusetzende Menge an Alkalimetallverbindungen errechnet werden. Der molare Überschuss der eingesetzten Alkalimetallionenmenge beträgt dabei zumindest 110 %, vorzugsweise zumindest 120 %, insbesondere bevorzugt zumindest 140 %, bezogen auf die Kationenaustauschkapazität des Bentonits. Vorzugsweise wird der Überschuss im Bereich von 140 % bis 200 %, insbesondere bevorzugt im Bereich von 150 % bis 180 % der Kationenaustauschkapazität gewählt.By a bentonite overactivated with alkali metal ions is meant a bentonite which has been reacted with a larger amount of an alkali metal compound, for example soda or potassium oxalate, than corresponds to its cation exchange capacity. The cation exchange capacity is determined on the starting material, ie the non-activated bentonite, by first exchanging the exchangeable cations for ammonium ions and then the nitrogen content of the washed and dried bentonite is determined by elemental analysis. From the found amount of exchangeable cations then the amount of alkali metal compounds to be used can be calculated. The molar excess of the amount of alkali metal ion used is at least 110%, preferably at least 120%, particularly preferably at least 140%, based on the cation exchange capacity of the bentonite. Preferably, the excess is selected in the range of 140% to 200%, more preferably in the range of 150% to 180% of the cation exchange capacity.
Die Aktivierung des als Ausgangsmaterials verwendeten Bentonits erfolgt in an sich bekannter Weise. Der feuchte Bentonit, welcher üblicherweise einen Wassergehalt von 20 bis 40 Gew.-% aufweist, wird mit einer geeigneten Alkalimetallverbindung, bspw. Soda oder Kaliumoxalat, verknetet und anschließend getrocknet. Der erhaltene mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierte Bentonit kann ggf. erneut vermahlen werden. Üblicherweise weist der mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierte Bentonit vor dem Granulieren einen Trockensiebrückstand auf einem Sieb mit einer Maschenweite von 75 µm von vorzugsweise weniger als 15 % der eingewogenen Menge auf.The activation of the bentonite used as starting material takes place in a manner known per se. The wet bentonite, which usually has a water content of 20 to 40 wt .-%, is kneaded with a suitable alkali metal compound, for example. Soda or potassium oxalate, and then dried. The obtained with alkaline metal ions overactivated bentonite may optionally be ground again. Usually, the bentonite overactivated with alkali metal ions before granulation has a dry sieve residue on a sieve with a mesh size of 75 μm, preferably less than 15% of the weighed amount.
Neben dem beschriebenen Aktivierungsverfahren können auch andere übliche Verfahren angewendet werden. Bspw. kann die Aktivierung auch erfolgen, indem der als Ausgangsmaterial verwendete Bentonit zunächst in Wasser aufgeschlämmt wird und die Aktivierung dann durch Zugabe einer festen oder in Wasser gelösten Alkalimetallverbindung erfolgt. Die Konzentration der Reaktionskomponenten wird so gewählt, dass ein mit Alkalimetallionen aktivierter Bentonit erhalten wird, welcher die geforderte Überaktivierung aufweist.In addition to the described activation method, other conventional methods can be used. For example. the activation can also be carried out by first slurrying the bentonite used as starting material in water and then activating it by adding a solid or dissolved in water alkali metal compound. The concentration of the reaction components is chosen so that an activated with alkali metal ions bentonite is obtained, which has the required overactivation.
Für die Granulierung des mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierten Bentonits wird eine Wasserglaslösung verwendet, die ein Modul SiO2 : Na2O von mehr als 3,2 aufweist. Vorzugsweise weist die Wasserglaslösung ein Modul SiO2:Na2O von mehr als 3,3, insbesondere bevorzugt ein Modul im Bereich von 3,3 bis 4,0 auf. Bei der Herstellung des Granulats kann daher vorteilhaft ein Wasserglas verwendet werden, dass ein höheres Modul SiO2 : Na2O aufweist, als es die üblicherweise verwendeten Wassergläser aufweisen. Dies bedeutet, dass der Alkaligehalt des Wasserglases, und damit auch des Bentonitgranulats, im Vergleich zu den bisher verfügbaren Bentonitgranulaten deutlich gesenkt werden kann. Bei Verwendung eines Wasserglases mit einem Modul SiO2 : Na2O von mehr als 3,2 sinkt die reizende Wirkung der Granulate deutlich, weshalb sich die Granulate einfacher Transportieren und Handhaben lassen. Beispielsweise müssen die Granulate nicht mehr als "reizend" klassifiziert werden. Neben der oben beschriebenen Natriumwasserglaslösung kann gleich wirkend eine Kaliumwasserglaslösung oder eine Natrium/Kaliumwasserglaslösung eingesetzt werden, die das oben angegebene Modul aufweist. Das Modul ist hierbei auf Kaliumoxid bzw. das Gemisch aus Kaliumoxid und Natriumoxid bezogen, weist aber den oben genannten Wertebereich auf.For the granulation of the over-activated bentonite with alkali metal ions, a water glass solution is used, which has a modulus SiO 2 : Na 2 O of more than 3.2. The waterglass solution preferably has a modulus SiO 2 : Na 2 O of more than 3.3, particularly preferably a modulus in the range of 3.3 to 4.0. In the production of the granules, therefore, it is advantageous to use a water glass which has a higher modulus SiO 2 : Na 2 O than that of the water glasses conventionally used. This means that the alkali content of the water glass, and thus also the bentonite granules, can be significantly reduced in comparison to the previously available bentonite granules. When using a water glass with a modulus SiO 2 : Na 2 O of more than 3.2, the irritant effect of the granules decreases significantly, which is why the granules are easier to transport and handle. For example, the granules no longer have to be classified as "irritating". In addition to the sodium water glass solution described above, a potassium water glass solution or a sodium / potassium water glass solution having the above-mentioned modulus can be used in the same manner. The modulus here is based on potassium oxide or the mixture of potassium oxide and sodium oxide, but has the abovementioned range of values.
Vorzugsweise wird bei der Granulierung eine Wasserglaslösung eingesetzt, welche einen Feststoffgehalt von wenigstens 10 Gew.-%, bevorzugt wenigstens 15 Gew.-%, insbesondere bevorzugt wenigstens 30 Gew.-%, besonders bevorzugt wenigstens 40 Gew.-%, insbesondere bevorzugt wenigstens 50 Gew.-% aufweist.The granulation preferably uses a water glass solution which has a solids content of at least 10% by weight, preferably at least 15% by weight, particularly preferably at least 30% by weight, particularly preferably at least 40% by weight, particularly preferably at least 50 % By weight.
Ein weiterer Vorteil der Verwendung von mit Alkalimetallionen überaktiviertem Bentonit besteht darin, dass sehr geringe Mengen an Wasserglas verwendet werden können, wobei dennoch ein Granulat erhalten wird, das einerseits eine hohe mechanische Stabilität und andererseits einen schnellen Zerfall zeigt. Vorzugsweise wird die Wasserglaslösung in einer solchen Menge zum mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierten Natriumbentonit gegeben, dass das Bentonitgranulat bei einem Wassergehalt von 8 Gew.-% einen Anteil an Alkalimetallsilikat, vorzugsweise Natriumsilikat, von weniger als 4,0 Gew.-%, bevorzugt weniger als 3,5 Gew.-%, insbesondere bevorzugt weniger als 3,0 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise weniger als 2,6 Gew.-%, insbesondere weniger als 2,0 Gew.-% enthält.Another advantage of the use of bentonite overactivated with alkali metal ions is that very small amounts of waterglass can be used, yet granules are obtained showing on the one hand high mechanical stability and on the other hand rapid disintegration. Preferably the water glass solution is added in such an amount to the over-activated sodium bentonite that the bentonite granules at a water content of 8 wt .-% of alkali metal silicate, preferably sodium silicate, of less than 4.0 wt .-%, preferably less than 3, 5 wt .-%, particularly preferably less than 3.0 wt .-%, preferably less than 2.6 wt .-%, in particular less than 2.0 wt .-%.
Bevorzugt wird der mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierte Bentonit aus einem Bentonit hergestellt, welcher in einer wässrigen Aufschlämmung mit einem Gehalt von 2 Gew.-% Bentonit einen pH von mehr als 7, vorzugsweise einen pH von mehr als 8, insbesondere bevorzugt einen pH von mehr als 9, insbesondere einen pH im Bereich von 8 - 10 aufweist.Preferably, the bentonite overactivated with alkali metal ions is prepared from a bentonite having a pH of more than 7, preferably a pH of more than 8, more preferably a pH of more than 9 in an aqueous slurry containing 2% by weight of bentonite , in particular has a pH in the range of 8-10.
Bevorzugt weist der mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierte Bentonit eine Quellfähigkeit in Wasser von mindestens 15 ml/2 g auf. Durch die hohe Quellfähigkeit wird der schnelle Zerfall des Granulats unterstützt. Trotz der hohen Quellfähigkeit des mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierten Bentonits wird dabei keine Verzögerung des Zerfalls des Granulats durch Gelbildung an den Bentonitkörnern beobachtet.Preferably, the over-activated with alkali metal ions bentonite has a swelling capacity in water of at least 15 ml / 2 g. Due to the high swelling capacity of the rapid disintegration of the granules is supported. In spite of the high swelling capacity of the bentonite overactivated with alkali metal ions, no delay in the disintegration of the granules due to gelation on the bentonite grains is observed.
Der mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierte Bentonit wird vorzugsweise durch Aktivierung eines Calciumbentonits hergestellt. Es können übliche Calciumbentonite verwendet werden. Derartige Calciumbentonite haben üblicherweise Kationenaustauschkapazitäten im Bereich von 50 meq/100 g bis 120 meq/100 g. An sich ist es jedoch auch möglich, für die Überaktivierung bereits einen Natriumbentonit zu verwenden.The over-activated alkali metal ion bentonite is preferably prepared by activation of a calcium bentonite. Common calcium bentonites can be used. Such calcium bentonites usually have cation exchange capacities in the range of 50 meq / 100 g to 120 meq / 100 g. However, it is also possible to use a sodium bentonite for overactivation.
Die Alkalimetallionen, mit welchen der Bentonit überaktiviert ist, werden vorzugsweise aus der Gruppe von Natriumionen und Kaliumionen ausgewählt, wobei Natriumionen besonders bevorzugt sind.The alkali metal ions with which the bentonite is overactivated are preferably selected from the group of sodium ions and Selected potassium ions, with sodium ions being particularly preferred.
Bei einer Aktivierung mit Natriumionen wird der als Ausgangsmaterial verwendete Bentonit, insbesondere Calciumbentonit, vorzugsweise mit einer Verbindung aus der Gruppe von Natriumcarbonat, Natriumhydrogencarbonat, Natriumphosphat, Natriumoxalat und Natriumcitrat aktiviert. Geeignete Natriumphosphate sind beispielsweise Trinatriummonophosphat und Trinatriumpolyphosphat. Bei einer Aktivierung mit Kaliumionen wird die Kaliumverbindung vorzugsweise aus der Gruppe von Kaliumcarbonat, Kaliumhydrogencarbonat, Kaliumphosphat, Kaliumcitrat und Kaliumoxalat ausgewählt. Die Aktivierung des Bentonits, insbesondere Calciumbentonits, wird an sich in üblicher Weise durchgeführt. Dazu wird der Bentonit, der eine Feuchte im Bereich von 20 bis 40 Gew.-% aufweisen kann, mit der berechneten Menge der Alkalimetallverbindung verknetet. Anschließend kann der mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierte Bentonit getrocknet, gemahlen und ggf. gesichtet werden, um die gewünschte Korngröße einzustellen.When activated with sodium ions, the bentonite used as starting material, in particular calcium bentonite, is activated preferably with a compound from the group of sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium phosphate, sodium oxalate and sodium citrate. Suitable sodium phosphates are, for example, trisodium monophosphate and trisodium polyphosphate. When activated with potassium ions, the potassium compound is preferably selected from the group of potassium carbonate, potassium hydrogencarbonate, potassium phosphate, potassium citrate and potassium oxalate. The activation of the bentonite, in particular calcium bentonite, is carried out in a conventional manner. For this purpose, the bentonite, which may have a moisture in the range of 20 to 40 wt .-%, is kneaded with the calculated amount of the alkali metal compound. Subsequently, the over-activated with alkali metal ions bentonite can be dried, ground and optionally sifted to adjust the desired grain size.
Die Granulierung des mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierten Bentonits, insbesondere bevorzugt Natriumbentonits, erfolgt an sich nach üblichen Verfahren. Bspw. kann die Wasserglaslösung auf den bewegten mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierten Bentonit aufgesprüht werden. Dazu können bspw. Freifallmischer verwendet werden, in welchen sich ein Vorhang aus herabfallenden Teilchen des überaktivierten Bentonits ausbildet, auf welchen dann die Wasserglaslösung aufgesprüht wird.The granulation of the over-activated with alkali metal bentonite, particularly preferably sodium bentonite, takes place per se by conventional methods. For example. the waterglass solution can be sprayed onto the agitated bentonite which has been overactivated with alkali metal ions. For this purpose, for example, free-fall mixers can be used, in which a curtain of falling particles of the overactivated bentonite is formed, on which the water glass solution is then sprayed.
Nach dem Granulieren kann der Wassergehalt des Granulats bspw. durch Einleiten von erwärmter Luft auf den gewünschten Wert erniedrigt werden. Üblicherweise beträgt der Wassergehalt der fertigen Bentonitgranulate 6 bis 14 Gew.-%, vorzugsweise 7 bis 12 Gew.-%, insbesondere bevorzugt 8 bis 10 Gew.-%. Vorzugsweise erfolgt die Granulation des mit Alkalimetallionen überaktivierten Bentonits, insbesondere Natriumbentonits, jedoch in der Weise, dass der überaktivierte Bentonit in einem schnell laufenden Mischer vorgelegt wird und das Wasserglas innerhalb eines kurzen Zeitraums in seiner gesamten Menge zugegeben wird. Die Granulierung kann sowohl in einem Batchvervahren als auch in einem kontinuierlichen Verfahren durchgeführt werden. Für die Granulation im Batchverfahren kann ein sogenannter Eirichmischer und für die kontinuierliche Granulation beispielsweise ein kontinuierlich arbeitender Pflugscharmischer, wie er z.B. von der Firma Lödige angeboten wird, oder ein Ringschichtmischer, wie ein Lödige CB Mischer, verwendet werden.After granulation, the water content of the granules can be lowered, for example, by introducing heated air to the desired value. Usually, the water content of the finished bentonite granules is 6 to 14 wt .-%, preferably 7 to 12 wt .-%, particularly preferably 8 to 10 wt .-%. Preferably, however, the granulation of the over-activated alkali metal ion bentonite, in particular sodium bentonite, but in such a way that the overactivated bentonite is placed in a high-speed mixer and the water glass is added within a short period of time in its entirety. The granulation can be carried out both in a batch process and in a continuous process. For granulation in the batch process, a so-called Eirich mixer and for continuous granulation, for example, a continuously operating ploughshare mixer, as offered for example by the company Lödige, or a ring layer mixer, such as a Lödige CB mixer, can be used.
Ein weiterer Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Bentonitgranulat, wie es bspw. mit dem oben beschriebenen Verfahren erhalten werden kann. Ein derartiges Bentonitgranulat zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass es sich in Wasser sehr schnell auflöst bzw. sehr schnell zerfällt.Another object of the invention is a bentonite granules, as it can be obtained, for example, with the method described above. Such Bentonitgranulat is characterized by the fact that it dissolves very quickly in water or disintegrates very quickly.
Das erfindungsgemäße Bentonitgranulat weist die folgenden Eigenschaften auf:
- ein Quellvolumen von mindestens 15 ml/2g
- einen Zerfall in Wasser nach 30 Sekunden von zumindest 80 %.
- a swelling volume of at least 15 ml / 2g
- a decay in water after 30 seconds of at least 80%.
Bevorzugt weist das Bentonitgranulat einen Zerfall in Wasser nach 90 Sekunden von zumindest 90 %, insbesondere bevorzugt von zumindest 95 % und insbesondere bevorzugt von zumindest 99 % auf.The bentonite granules preferably have a decomposition in water after 90 seconds of at least 90%, particularly preferably of at least 95% and especially preferably of at least 99%.
Der granulierte überaktivierte Bentonit weist in einer wässrigen Aufschlämmung mit einem Gehalt von 2 Gew.-% Granulat vorzugsweise einen pH von mehr als 10 auf.The granulated overactivated bentonite preferably has a pH of more than 10 in an aqueous slurry containing 2% by weight of granules.
Die Erfindung wird anhand von Beispielen näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail by means of examples.

Durchführung: 5 g Ton werden durch ein 63 µm-Sieb gesiebt und bei 110°C getrocknet. Danach werden genau 2 g auf der Analysenwaage in Differenzwägung in den Erlenmeyer-Schliffkolben eingewogen und mit 100 ml 2N NH4Cl-Lösung versetzt. Die Suspension wird unter Rückfluss eine Stunde lang gekocht. Bei stark CaCO3-haltigen Bentoniten kann es zu einer Ammoniak-Entwicklung kommen. In diesen Fällen muss solange NH4Cl-Lösung zugegeben werden, bis kein Ammoniak-Geruch mehr wahrzunehmen ist. Eine zusätzliche Kontrolle kann mit einem feuchten Indikator-Papier durchgeführt werden. Nach einer Standzeit von ca. 16 h wird der NH4 +-Bentonit über eine Membranfilternutsche abfiltriert und bis zur weitgehenden Ionenfreiheit mit vollentsalztem Wasser (ca. 800 ml) gewaschen. Der Nachweis der Ionenfreiheit des Waschwassers wird auf NH4 +-Ionen mit dem dafür empfindlichen Neßlers-Reagens durchgeführt. Die Waschzeit kann je nach Tonart zwischen 30 Minuten und 3 Tagen variieren.

Danach wird der NH4 +-Gehalt des Tons mittels Elementaranalyse bestimmt.Procedure: 5 g of clay are sieved through a 63 μm sieve and dried at 110 ° C. Then weigh exactly 2 g on the analytical balance in differential weighing into the Erlenmeyer grinding flask and add 100 ml of 2N NH 4 Cl solution. The suspension is boiled under reflux for one hour. In the case of strongly CaCO 3 -containing bentonites, ammonia development may occur. In these cases, as long as NH 4 Cl solution must be added until no ammonia smell is perceived. Additional control can be done with a wet indicator paper. After a service life of about 16 h, the NH 4 + bentonite is filtered through a membrane filter and until For extensive freedom from ions washed with demineralized water (about 800 ml). Detection of the ionic freedom of the wash water is performed on NH 4 + ions with the sensitive Nessler's reagent. The washing time can vary between 30 minutes and 3 days, depending on the key. The leached NH 4 + clay is removed from the filter, dried at 110 ° C for 2 h, ground, sieved (63 micron sieve) and dried again at 110 ° C for 2 h. Thereafter, the NH 4 + content of the clay is determined by elemental analysis.

Mit einem Flügelrührer wird für 90 Sek. bei 800 Umdrehungen/Min. gerührt. Der verbliebene Rückstand des Granulats wird mit einem Sieb der Maschenweite 0,2 mm abgesiebt und anschließend zur Gewichtskonstanz bei 40 °C getrocknet.

100 g des von Feinanteilen befreiten Granulats werden auf ein Sieb der Maschenweite 0,15 mm gegeben, welches auf einer Auffangschale befestigt ist. Auf das Granulat werden 3 Gummibälle gegeben, welche einen Durchmesser von 2,9 mm aufweisen. Das Sieb wird mit einem Deckel abgedeckt, wobei zwischen Sieb und Deckel ein Abstand von 25 mm vorgesehen ist. Die aus Auffangschale, Sieb und Deckel zusammengesetzte Vorrichtung wird auf einen Rotationsschüttler gegeben und dort 15 Min. geschüttelt. Anschließend wird das in der Auffangschale aufgefangene Granulat ausgewogen. Diese Zahl entspricht der Brechbarkeitszahl für 15 Min.

On the granules 3 rubber balls are given, which have a diameter of 2.9 mm. The sieve is covered with a lid, with a distance of 25 mm between sieve and lid. The device composed of drip tray, sieve and lid is placed on a rotary shaker and shaken there for 15 min. Subsequently, the collected in the drip tray granules is weighed. This number corresponds to the refractive index for 15 min. Shaking time.
Das Sieb wird nochmals 15 Min. geschüttelt und erneut das Material ausgewogen, welches sich in der Auffangschale angesammelt hat. Aus der Summe der Siebdurchgänge ergibt sich Brechbarkeitszahl für 30 Min.The sieve is shaken again for 15 minutes and again the material is weighed, which accumulates in the drip tray Has.

Ein graduierter 100 ml Messzylinder wird mit 100 ml destilliertem Wasser bzw. einer wässrigen Lösung aus 1 % Soda und 2 % Trinatriumpolyphosphat gefüllt. 2 g Bentonit werden langsam und portionsweise, je etwa 0,1, bis 0,2 g, mit einem Spatel auf die Oberfläche des Wassers gegeben. Nach dem Absinken einer zugegebenen Portion wird die nächste Portion zugegeben. Nachdem die 2 g Bentonit zugegeben und auf den Grund des Messzylinders abgesunken sind, wird der Zylinder für eine Stunde bei Raumtemperatur stehen gelassen. Anschließend wird an der Graduierung des Messzylinders die Höhe der gequollenen Substanz in ml/2g abgelesen.A graduated 100 ml graduated cylinder is filled with 100 ml of distilled water or an aqueous solution of 1% soda and 2% trisodium polyphosphate. 2 g of bentonite are added slowly and in portions, each about 0.1 to 0.2 g, with a spatula on the surface of the water. After a drop of added portion, the next portion is added. After the 2 g of bentonite have been added and dropped to the bottom of the graduated cylinder, the cylinder is allowed to stand for one hour at room temperature. Then the height of the swollen substance in ml / 2g is read on the graduation of the measuring cylinder.
Etwa 50 g des zu untersuchenden lufttrockenen Tonmaterials werden auf einem Sieb der entsprechenden Maschenweite eingewogen. Das Sieb wird an einen Staubsauger angeschlossen, der über ein unter dem Siebboden kreisenden Saugschlitz alle Anteile, die feiner als das Sieb sind, durch das Sieb heraussaugt. Das Sieb wird mit einem Plastikdeckel abgedeckt und der Staubsauger eingeschaltet. Nach 5 Minuten wird der Staubsauger abgeschaltet und die Menge der auf dem Sieb verbliebenen gröberen Anteile durch Differenzwägung ermittelt.About 50 g of the air-dry clay material to be examined are weighed out on a sieve of the corresponding mesh size. The sieve is connected to a vacuum cleaner, which sucks all parts, which are finer than the sieve through the sieve through a suction slot circulating under the sieve bottom. The strainer is covered with a plastic lid and the vacuum cleaner is switched on. After 5 minutes, the vacuum cleaner is switched off and the amount of remaining on the screen coarser fractions determined by differential weighing.
Die Röntgenaufnahmen werden an einem hochauflösendeh Pulverdiffraktometer der Fa. Philips (X'-Pert-MPD (PW3040)) erstellt, das mit einer CO-Anode ausgerüstet war.The X-ray images are taken on a Philips high-resolution powder diffractometer (X'-Pert-MPD (PW3040)) equipped with a CO anode.
Der Methylenblauwert ist ein Maß für die innere Oberfläche der Tonmaterialien.
- a) Herstellung einer Tetranatriumdiphosphat-Lösung
5,41 g Tetranatriumdiphosphat werden auf 0,001 g genau in einen 1000 ml Messkolben eingewogen und unter Schütteln bis zur Eichmarke mit dest. Wasser aufgefüllt. - b) Herstellung einer 0,5 %-igen Methylenblaulösung
In einem 2000 ml Becherglas werden 125 g Methylenblau in ca. 1500 ml dest. Wasser gelöst. Die Lösung wird abdekantiert und auf 25 1 mit dest. Wasser aufgefüllt.
0,5 g feuchter Testbentonit mit bekannter innerer Oberfläche werden in einem Erlenmeyerkolben auf 0,001 g genau eingewogen. Es werden 50 ml Tetranatriumdiphosphatlösung zugegeben und die Mischung 5 Minuten zum Sieden erhitzt. Nach dem Abkühlen auf Raumtemperatur werden 10 ml 0,5 molare H2SO4 zugegeben und 80 bis 95 % des zu erwartenden Endverbrauchs an Methylenblaulösung zugegeben. Mit dem Glasstab wird ein Tropfen der Suspension aufgenommen und auf ein Filterpapier gegeben. Es bildet sich ein blau-schwarzer Fleck mit einem farblosen Hof. Es wird nun in Portionen von 1 ml weitere Methylenblaulösung zugegeben und die Tüpfelprobe wiederholt. Die Zugabe erfolgt solange, bis sich der Hof leicht hellblau färbt, also die zugegebene Methylenblaumenge nicht mehr vom Testbentonit absorbiert wird. - c) Prüfung von Tonmaterialien
Die Prüfung des Tonmaterials wird in der gleichen Weise durchgeführt wie für den Testbentonit. Aus der verbrauchten Menge an Methylenblaulösung lässt sich die innere Oberfläche des Tonmaterials berechnen.
381 mg Methylenblau/g Ton entsprechen nach diesem Verfahren einem Gehalt von 100 % Montmorillonit.
- a) Preparation of a tetrasodium diphosphate solution
5.41 g tetrasodium diphosphate are weighed to 0.001 g exactly in a 1000 ml volumetric flask and shaking to the mark with dist. Water filled up. - b) Preparation of a 0.5% methylene blue solution
In a 2000 ml beaker, 125 g of methylene blue in about 1500 ml dest. Water dissolved. The solution is decanted off and distilled to 25 l with dist. Water filled up.
0.5 g of wet test bentonite with a known internal surface are weighed to the nearest 0.001 g in an Erlenmeyer flask. Add 50 ml of tetrasodium diphosphate solution and heat the mixture to boiling for 5 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, 10 ml of 0.5 molar H 2 SO 4 are added and 80 to 95% of the expected final consumption of methylene blue solution is added. With the glass rod, a drop of the suspension is taken and placed on a filter paper. It forms a blue-black spot with a colorless yard. It is then added in portions of 1 ml more Methylenblaulösung and repeated the dot sample. The addition takes place until the yard turns slightly light blue, so that the added Methylenblaumenge is no longer absorbed by the test bentonite. - c) Testing of clay materials
The test of the clay material is carried out in the same way as for the test bentonite. From the used amount of methylene blue solution, the inner surface of the clay material can be calculated.
381 mg methylene blue / g clay correspond to a content of 100% montmorillonite according to this method.
Als Bentonit wurde ein natürlicher Ca-Bentonit eingesetzt, der die folgenden Eigenschaften aufweist:
Dieser Bentonit wurde mit unterschiedlichen Anteilen an Soda aktiviert. Als Vergleich wurde eine Probe des Bentonits, die keiner Aktivierung unterzogen worden war. Die erhaltenen Bentonitproben sind in Tabelle 2 zusammengefasst.
Die in Tabelle 2 aufgeführten Bentonite wurden jeweils mit Wasserglas granuliert, wobei zwei Sorten von Wasserglas verwendet wurden, die sich in ihrem Modul unterscheiden. Die Daten des verwendeten Wasserglases sind in Tabelle 3 zusammengefasst.
Jeweils 350 g Bentonit, welcher auf einen Wassergehalt von ca. 30 % getrocknet worden war, wird in einen Werner & Pfleiderer Mischer Typ LUK 050 T gegeben und 1 Min. geknetet. Danach wird unter Weiterlaufen des Mischers die entsprechende Menge Soda zugefügt und die Mischung für weitere 10 Min. geknetet. Die Knetmasse wird per Hand in kleine Stücke zerkleinert und in einem Umlufttrockenschrank bei ca. 75°C während 2 bis 4 Stunden auf einen Wassergehalt von 10 ± 2 % getrocknet. Das Trockengut wird dann in einer Schlagrotormühle Retsch Typ SR 3 mit einem 0,12 mm Sieb vermahlen.Each 350 g of bentonite, which had been dried to a water content of about 30%, is placed in a Werner & Pfleiderer mixer type LUK 050 T and kneaded for 1 min. Thereafter, while continuing to run the mixer, the appropriate amount of soda is added and the mixture is kneaded for a further 10 minutes. The dough is crushed by hand into small pieces and dried in a convection oven at about 75 ° C for 2 to 4 hours to a water content of 10 ± 2%. The dry goods is then ground in a rotary rotor mill Retsch type SR 3 with a 0.12 mm sieve.
In einem Eirich Intensivmischer R02E wurden jeweils 1000 g des in Tabelle 2 charakterisierten Bentonits vorgelegt und über einen Trichter als Agglomerisationsmittel Wasser oder Wasserglaslösung (Wasserglas A bzw. B) zudosiert. Es wurden jeweils Wasserglaslösungen mit einem Feststoffgehalt von 10 %, 20 % sowie 40 % verwendet. Dabei wurde die niedrige Einstellung für die Umdrehungsgeschwindigkeit des Tellers sowie die maximale Umdrehungsgeschwindigkeit für den Wirbler gewählt. Die Agglomerationsparameter wurden, wenn nicht anders angegeben, im Folgenden jeweils so gewählt, dass mehr als 50 % der Granulate in einem Teilchengrößenbereich von 0,4 bis 1,4 mm lagen. Dazu wurden die Granulate nach dem Granulieren und Trocknen entsprechend abgesiebt.In each case 1000 g of the characterized in Table 2 bentonite were placed in an Eirich Intensive Mixer R02E and metered via a funnel as an agglomerating agent water or water glass solution (water glass A or B). Each of water glass solutions having a solids content of 10%, 20% and 40% was used. Here, the low setting for the rotational speed of the plate and the maximum rotational speed for the swirler was selected. Unless otherwise indicated, the agglomeration parameters were each chosen below such that more than 50% of the granules were in a particle size range of 0.4 to 1.4 mm. For this purpose, the granules were sieved off appropriately after granulation and drying.
Die Granulate wurden in der oben beschriebenen Weise bezüglich ihrer Dispersionsgeschwindigkeit untersucht. Die ermittelten Daten sind in Tabelle 4 für eine Granulation mit einem Wasserglas mit einem Modul SiO2 : Na2O von 2,65 und in Tabelle 5 für eine Granulation mit einem Wasserglas mit einem Modul SiO2 : Na2O von 3,2 zusammengefasst. Neben den Daten zum Zerfall der Granulate sind in Tabelle 4 und 5 jeweils noch das Quellvolumen der erhaltenen Granulate und der pH-Wert beim Auflösen des Granulats in Wasser mit aufgenommen.
Betrachtet man zunächst die Granulate, die lediglich mit Wasser granuliert wurden, erkennt man, dass das Quellvolumen beim nicht aktivierten Bentonit 12 ml/2 mg beträgt, beim stöchiometrisch aktivierten Bentonit auf 20 ml/2 g ansteigt, um dann beim überaktivierten Bentonit wieder auf 15 ml/2 g abzufallen.Considering initially the granules which were granulated with water only, it can be seen that the swelling volume of the unactivated bentonite is 12 ml / 2 mg, increases in stoichiometrically activated bentonite to 20 ml / 2 g, and then the overactivated bentonite back to 15 ml / 2 g to fall off.
Betrachtet man die Löslichkeit, wird beim überaktivierten Bentonit 3 bereits bei einem Wasserglasanteil von 1,2 % nach 30 s eine vollständige Auflösung erreicht, während beim stöchiometrisch aktivierten Bentonit 2 ein deutlich höherer Wasserglasanteil von 7,3 % erforderlich ist, um innerhalb von 30 s eine vollständige Auflösung des Granulats zu erreichen.Considering the solubility, the overactivated bentonite 3 is already at a water glass content of 1.2% after 30 s achieved a complete resolution, while the stoichiometrically activated bentonite 2 a much higher water glass content of 7.3% is required within 30 s to achieve a complete dissolution of the granules.
Alle Granulate zeigten eine hohe mechanische Stabilität und der Abrieb nach der vorher beschriebenen Testmethode betrug ≤ 2%. Auch bei niedriger Wasserglaskonzentration wurde ein Granulat erhalten, das eine für den technischen Einsatz ausreichende mechanische Stabilität aufwies.
Verwendet man ein Wasserglas mit einem Modul SiO2 : Na2O von 3,2, das also einen geringeren Anteil an starken Basen aufweist, reicht bereits ein Wasserglasanteil von 1,8 % aus, um beim überaktivierten Bentonit 3 innerhalb von 30 s eine praktisch vollständige Auflösung des Granulats zu erreichen. Beim stöchiometrisch aktivierten Bentonit sind wiederum höhere Anteile an Wasserglas erforderlich, um eine schnelle Auflösung des Granulats zu erreichen.If one uses a water glass with a modulus SiO 2 : Na 2 O of 3.2, which thus has a lower proportion of strong bases, a water glass content of 1.8% is sufficient to give the overactivated bentonite 3 within 30 s a practical to achieve complete dissolution of the granules. The stoichiometrically activated bentonite in turn have higher levels of Water glass required to achieve a quick dissolution of the granules.
Alle Granulate zeigten eine hohe mechanische Stabilität und der Abrieb nach der vorher beschriebenen Testmethode betrug ≤ 2%. Auch bei niedriger Wasserglaskonzentration wurde ein Granulat erhalten, das eine für den technischen Einsatz ausreichende mechanische Stabilität aufwies.All granules showed a high mechanical stability and the abrasion according to the previously described test method was ≤ 2%. Even at low concentrations of waterglass granules were obtained, which had sufficient mechanical stability for technical use.
