Definitions

  • An apparatus for accomplishing the process comprises a pipe, at least one inlet thereto for a carrier gas and for the particulate sodium tripolyphosphate, at least one inlet for admitting steam to the pipe at a point or points past which the sodium tripolyphosphate is conveyed by the carrier gas and an exit from the pipe for the hydrated sodium tripolyphosphate and the carrier gas.
  • the apparatus may be coupled to a detergent slurry-making apparatus for direct dosing of the hydrated sodium tripolyphosphate into a slurry-mixer.
  • the invention relates to the production of hydrated sodium tripolyphosphate. More particularly it relates to a process and apparatus for the production of at least partially hydrated sodium tripolyphosphate, which can be suitably used for the manufacture of detergent powders.
  • Sodium tripolyphosphate is an important constituent as a detergency builder in detergent compositions, for ex ample washing powders made by spray-drying aqueous slurries. Its proportion of the total composition is such that its properties not only greatly influence the nature of the slurry but also have an appreciable elfect on the structure of the finished powder.
  • Phase I sodium tripolyphosphate
  • Phase II Phase II sodium tripolyphosphate
  • the rate of hydration of anhydrous sodium tripolyphosphate containing substantial proportions of Phase I material is so great that it tends to lead to the formation of hard lumps and incrustations during the slurry-making process.
  • the high rate of hydration means that only a short time is required to attain substantially quantitative hydration resulting in a constant slurry viscosity.
  • Phase II sodium tripolyphosphate hydrates In contrast to Phase I material, Phase II sodium tripolyphosphate hydrates very slowly and tends to remain as a supersaturated solution. The reluctance to hydrate is manifested in delay in reaching consistancy in the slurry viscosity. A further disadvantage is that a longer stirring time is needed, which involves the risk of increased hydrolysis of the sodium tripolyphosphate into orthoand pyrophosphate. Besides, from supersaturated Phase II sodium tripolyphosphate solutions the hexahydrate only crystallises slowly and in large crystals which have an adverse effect on the quality of some spray-dried powder compositions.
  • the present invention now provides a simple and yet more elfective method for the production of at least partially hydrated sodium tripolyphosphate, which method comprises contacting particulate sodium tripolyphosphate with steam during its pneumatic conveyance.
  • the process of the invention proceeds continuously using a relatively simple apparatus and produces, at a rate that is comparatively much higher than is attainable with any other conventional method, hydrated sodium tripolyphosphate which can be used either directly for detergent slurry-making or subjected to storage and handling prior to use without any detrimental effect.
  • the process according to the invention can be carried out as an independent process for producing partially or substantially hydrated sodium tripolyphosphate, or it can be coupled to a detergent slurry-making process in which the hydrated phosphate is directly dosed into the slurry-mixing apparatus.
  • particulate sodium tripolyphosphate is pneumatically conveyed through a pipe-line in which it is contacted with steam by means of one, two or more successively arranged steam jet nozzles in the pneumatic conveyor line.
  • the number of steam jet nozzles which can be used depends upon the length of the steam-treatment conveyor pipe-line; more steam jet nozzles enables a more uniform steam-treatment or an increase in sodium tripolyphosphate throughout.
  • Theamount of pneumatic carrier gas can be automatically controlled by a pressure-reducing valve.
  • the weight ratio of sodium tripolyphosphate to carrier gas ranges from about 10:1 to 2:1, and is preferably about 5:1.
  • the process is suitably carried out using a steam to carrier gas weight ratio of from about 1:25 to 3:10, to produce sodium tripolyphosphate partially hydrated to the extent of up to approximately 15% moisture content, which corresponds to aproximately 65% hexahydrate content.
  • the steam jet nozzles are supplied with superheated steam of a suitable degree of saturation and perferably in such a way that the weight ratio of steam to sodium tripolyphosphate in the section at each contact point should not exceed 5:100, and the weight ratio of steam to sodium tripolyphosphate along the line lies between 0.5:100 and :100, preferably between 2:100 and 3: 100.
  • the degree of saturation of the steam used for the process shouldbe kept as low aspossible, i.e. so.that undesirablecondensation in thepipe feeding the nozzle is prevented and the steam is saturated when it emerges from the nozzle.
  • This can generally be achieved by using steam having a saturation temperature of from 105C. to 150 C. and superheated to about 200 C.
  • the flow rate of the sodium tripolyphosphate at the steam contact points should preferably be adjusted to from 20 to 30 metres per second.
  • the actual seed crystals are in the size range of approximately 1-3/4, and larger crystals which may also be observed under the microscope on the sodium tripolyphosphate surface are agglomerates of smaller seed crystals, which will be set free again during the solution of the sodium tripolyphosphate in the slurry. 1
  • the temperature of the sodium tripolyphosphate may increase to approximately 50 C.-60 C. due to the heat of hydration and heat of condensation, but this increase has no substantial adverse efiect on the sodium tripolyphosphate quality.
  • An examination as to any possible hydrolysis of sodium tripolyphosphate treated according to the invention has shown that on comparing the average results of analysis of 30 samples of untreated and 12 samples of steam-treated sodium tripolyphosphate, there is no increase in orthophosphate content, the pyrophosphate content in the steamtreated material is only 1.2% higher than in the untreated material, and there is only a dilference of 1.1% in the tripolyphosphate content, which has no appreciable adverse elfect on the quality of the sodium tripolyphosphate as a detergency builder. 1
  • Detergent slurries prepared with sodium' tripolyphosphate hydrated according to the invention are found to produce on spray-drying hard, crisp and free-flowing powders. It has previously been observed that the size and shape of the hexahydrate crystals formed in the slurry are of decisive importance for the quality of'the detergent powder; the smaller the crystals, the better thepowder structure. This is particularly true for so-calledlow sudsing detergent compositions which are based onternary mixtures of anionic and nonionic detergent active compounds and soap.
  • hexahydrate crystals in the order of (1-10) x (5--20)y., preferably in the order of (l-3) x (640), can be obtained in the slurry, which on spray-drying produces hard and free-flowing powders of extremely good quality; this is thought to be due to the presence of such small hexahydrate crystals in the powder.
  • the process according to the invention is applicable to any sodium tripolyphosphate quality ranging from very low Phase I to very high Phase I content sodium tripolyphosphate, though the greatest benefit is experienced from very low Phase I sodium tripolyphosphate-(high Phase II sodium tripolyphosphate) rather than from the. high Phase I product.
  • the method according to the invention makes it possibly when producing a washing powder with good flow properties to refrain from using the more expensive high Phase 1 sodium tripolyphosphate and to use the cheaper commercially available material consisting mainly of the Phase II material, for example sodiumtripolyphosphate comprising at least 90% by weight of Phase II material, evenin those cases where the use of anhydrous high Phase I content sodium.tripolyphosphate (e.g. -45% Phase I) would still produce unsatis-l factory crawly powders, namely low-sudsing composi; tions comprising high proportions of ternary mixtures of detergent active compounds.
  • Phase II material for example sodiumtripolyphosphate comprising at least 90% by weight of Phase II material, evenin those cases where the use of anhydrous high Phase I content sodium.tripolyphosphate (e.g. -45% Phase I) would still produce unsatis-l factory crawly powders, namely low-sudsing composi; tions comprising high proportions of ternary mixtures of detergent active compounds
