Definitions

  • the present invention relates to spray-dried laundry detergent particles comprising anionic detersive surfactant and water-soluble salt selected from the group consisting of sodium carbonate and/or sodium sulphate.
  • the spray-dried laundry detergent particles of the present invention exhibit good bulk handling characteristics, and have low bulk density variation during plant packaging operations.
  • Laundry detergent powders are typically produced by a spray-drying process wherein a detergent- slurry is spray-dried to form spray-dried laundry detergent particles. These spray-dried particles are the base detergent particles to which other particles may be added to form a fully formulated laundry detergent powder; for example: enzyme prills, bleach particles, perfume particles and the like.
  • the fully formulated laundry detergent powder is then packaged, for example into cartons, and shipped to trade.
  • Some packaging operations are volumetric-based; however, the cartons are sold on a weight-basis. This means that variations in the bulk density of the laundry detergent powder must be compensated for in order to ensure that the carton weight at the point of sale is correct for the consumer.
  • laundry detergent powders that exhibit excellent solubility and environmental profiles.
  • recent trends in the laundry detergent industry are for laundry detergent powder formulation approaches having significantly reduced levels of water-insoluble materials like zeolite builder, and phosphate builder.
  • laundry detergent powders based on spray-dried laundry detergent particles that are essentially free of zeolite and phosphate builder exhibit excessive bulk density variation during the packaging operation in the manufacturing plant. This necessitates the need for laundry detergent manufacturers to increase the level of over-pack to compensate for this increase in bulk density variation, which in turn decreases the efficiency of the laundry powder production process.
  • laundry detergent powders based on spray-dried particles that are essential free of zeolite and phosphate builder are more responsive to applied stress loads, and the powder undergoes more variation in bulk density due to the forces they experience (plant stresses) during plant handling operations, especially in the packaging machines.
  • Spray dried laundry detergent particles are not uniform in size: i.e. they have a particle size distribution. Typically, this distribution is from 50 micrometers to 1,200 micrometers, and typically having a weight average particle size in the range of from 350 micrometers to 450 micrometers.
  • the chemical composition of low-built, and especially unbuilt, spray-dried particles is not uniform across this particle size distribution; the chemical composition changes as the spray-dried particle size changes, particular differences in the chemical composition occur between small spray-dried particles (e.g. having a particle size of less than 250 micrometers) and large spray-dried particles (e.g. having a particle size of 250 micrometers or more).
  • the inventors have found that the bulk powder properties of the fully formulated laundry detergent powder are significantly influenced by the small spray-dried particles (fines) having particle sizes below 250 micrometers.
  • the inventors have also found that the organic carbon content in these fines is higher than the organic carbon content of the larger spray-dried particles.
  • the inventors have found that reducing the variation in the organic carbon content across the large and small spray-dried particles, improves the bulk powder properties of the fully formulated laundry detergent powder, which in turn overcomes the need for excessive over-packing of the cartons.
  • this approach avoids the need to remove these fine particles from the rest of the spray-dried laundry detergent particle population. Removal of these fines is difficult to handle in a manufacturing plant: high volume recycle streams result in lower process yields and poorer process reliability (e.g. fine particulate material having a high organic content can block plant screw feeders).
  • US4166039 addresses the problem of incorporating a substantial quantity of non- ionic detersive surfactant into spray-dried particles, and allegedly overcomes this problem by incorporating clay together with the non-ionic detersive surfactant into a crutcher mix that is subsequently spray- dried to produce spray-dried particles.
  • the slurry is allegedly more homogenous and the resulting spray-dried particles have allegedly superior properties.
  • clay is water insoluble, and the resultant spray-dried particles have poor water-solubility profiles.
  • non-ionic surfactant has very different phase behavior and dissolution behavior from anionic surfactants. The incorporation of non-ionic detersive surfactant into a spray-dried particle makes their dissolution profile worse.
  • controlling the particle size distribution of water-insoluble clay may be beneficial for the incorporation of non-ionic detersive surfactant, such as that described by US4166039
  • non-ionic detersive surfactant such as that described by US4166039
  • the Inventors have surprisingly found that controlling the particle size distribution of water-soluble salts such as sodium carbonate and/or sodium sulphate, benefit the plant handling profile when incorporating anionic detersive surfactant into highly water-soluble spray-dried particles that do not comprise water-insoluble material such as zeolite and/or clay. This is particularly surprising because the salts are water-soluble as opposed to water insoluble.
  • the present invention seeks to provide spray-dried particles comprising anionic surfactant that has good dissolution profile, good environmental profile, and good handling characteristics and good behaviour during plant packaging operations.
  • the spray-dried particles of the present invention exhibit excellent hand-feel when used in a handwash laundering process.
  • the present invention relates to: spray-dried laundry detergent particles comprising: (a) organic anionic detersive surfactant; (b) water-soluble inorganic salt selected from the group consisting of sodium carbonate and/or sodium sulphate; (c) essentially no zeolite builder;
  • the spray-dried laundry detergent particles comprise: (a) organic anionic detersive surfactant; (b) water-soluble inorganic salt selected from the group consisting of sodium carbonate and/or sodium sulphate; (c) essentially no zeolite builder; (d) essentially no phosphate builder; (e) essentially no bleach; (f) essentially no clay; (g) essentially no non-ionic detersive surfactant; and (h) other detergent ingredients. These detergent ingredients are described in more detail later.

  • from 75wt to 95wt preferably from 80wt to 90wt of the particles are large particles having a particle size of 250 micrometers or greater.
  • the ratio of the organic carbon content of the small particles in weight percent to the organic carbon content of the large particles in weight percent is in the range of from 1.00 to 1.20, preferably to 1.15, or to 1.12, or to 1.10, or to 1.08, or even to 1.05.
  • the water-soluble inorganic salt has a volume average particle size in the range of from 10 micrometers to 50 micrometers, preferably from 20 micrometers 45 micrometers, or from 30 micrometers to 45 micrometers.
  • organic means hydrocarbon containing, and inorganic means non-hydrocarbon containing.
  • the organic carbon content can be determined by any conventional means. Suitable means include acid treatment (for example 2N H 2 SO 4 - 5 v/vFeS0 4 ) to remove inorganic carbon content, followed by sample drying and high temperature (for example at 1350°C) dry combustion in a pure oxygen environment to evolve carbon dioxide, which can be collected and quantitatively determined by any suitable means, such as gas volumetric, infra-red or thermal conductivity analysis.
  • the organic carbon content of the small particles can be controlled by the particle size of the inorganic salt.
  • the inorganic salt has a very small particle size, preferably having a volume average particle size of from 10 micrometers to 80 micrometers, preferably from 20 micrometers, or from 30 micrometers, and preferably to 60 micrometers, or even to 50 micrometers.
  • the volume average particle size of the inorganic salt can be determined by any conventional means, such as light scattering, for example using a sympatec particle size analyser.
