Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the production of alkyl polyglycoside (APG) -containing granules in a mixed granulation process.
  • APG alkyl polyglycoside
  • Granular detergent and cleaning agent compositions are largely produced by spray drying.
  • the ingredients such as surfactants, builders etc. are mixed with about 35 to 50% by weight of water to form an aqueous slurry, the so-called slurry, and atomized in spray towers in a hot gas stream, the detergents and cleaning agents being atomized - Form particles.
  • Both the plants for this process and the implementation of the process are costly since approximately 30 to 40% by weight of the slurry water must be evaporated.
  • the granules produced by spray drying usually have excellent solubility, but only have low bulk densities, which leads to higher packaging volumes and transport and storage capacities.
  • spray drying of nonionic surfactants is associated with further problems. Because of their relatively low melting points and because of their relatively high volatility, nonionic surfactants in the spray drying process tend to be entrained in part with the hot gas drying stream and to pass into the exhaust air, which is known to the person skilled in the art as "pluming" or "blue smoke". Spray drying processes have one further series of disadvantages, so that there has been no lack of attempts to carry out the production of detergents and cleaning agents completely without spray drying.
  • the object of the present invention was to provide a process for producing APG-containing granules which is free from the disadvantages mentioned.
  • a granulation process should be provided which allows both the batchwise and the continuous production of APG-containing granules without the occurrence of deposits or the granules having disadvantageous properties.
  • the invention relates to a process for the production of alkyl polyglycoside (APG) -containing granules, in which an aqueous APG paste is mixed with other aqueous solutions of non-surfactant granulation components and sprayed onto a solid mixture agitated in a mixer.
  • APG alkyl polyglycoside
  • Alkypolyglycosides which can be used according to the invention satisfy the general formula RO (G) z , in which R denotes a linear or branched, in particular methyl-branched, saturated or unsaturated ahphatic radical having 8 to 22, preferably 12 to 18, carbon atoms and G is the symbol which stands for a glycose unit with 5 or 6 carbon atoms, preferably for glucose.
  • the degree of glycosidation z is between 1.0 and 4.0, preferably between 1.0 and 2.0 and in particular between 1.1 and 1.4.
  • Linear alkyl polyglucosides ie alkyl polyglycosides, in which the polyglycosyl radical is a glucose radical and the alkyl radical is an n-alkyl radical are preferably used. These can be described using the following formula

  • an acidic catalyst which are transglycosidated with long-chain alcohols in the presence of an acidic catalyst to give the desired alkylpolyglycoside mixtures.
  • glycosidate dextrose directly with the desired long-chain alcohol to the desired alkyl polyglycoside mixtures.
  • the structure of the products can be varied within certain limits.
  • the alkyl radical is determined by the selection of the long-chain alcohol.
  • the industrially accessible alcohols having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, in particular native alcohols from the hydrogenation of carboxylic acids or carboxylic acid derivatives are preferred.
  • the polyglycosyl radicals G y are determined on the one hand by the selection of the carbohydrate and on the other hand by setting the average degree of polymerization (degree of glycosidation y), as described, for example, in DE 19 43 689.
  • polysaccharides for example starches, maltodextrins, dextrose, galactose, mannose, xylose, etc.
  • the commercially available carbohydrates starch, maltodextrins and in particular dextrose are preferred.
  • alkyl polyglycosides are always mixtures of oligomers, which in turn represent mixtures of different isomeric forms. They are present side by side with ⁇ - and ß-glycosidic bonds in pyranose and furanose form. The linkages between two saccharide residues are also different.
  • Alkyl polyglycosides which can be used according to the invention can also be prepared by mixing alkyl polyglycosides with alkyl monoglycosides.
  • alkyl monoglycosides can be obtained or enriched from alkyl polyglycosides using polar solvents such as acetone using the process disclosed in EP 092 355.
  • the Glycosi The degree of alkylation of alkyl polyglycosides is usually determined by 'H nuclear magnetic resonance measurements.

  • the delay in dissolution compared to conventional amorphous sodium silicates can be caused in various ways, for example by surface treatment, compounding, compacting / compression or by overdrying.
  • amorphous is also understood to mean “X-ray amorphous”. This means that the silicates in X-ray diffraction experiments do not provide sharp X-ray reflections, as are typical for crystalline substances, but at most one or more maxima of the scattered X-rays, which have a width of several degree units of the diffraction angle. However, it can very well lead to particularly good building properties if the silicate particles deliver washed-out or even sharp diffraction maxima in electron diffraction experiments. This is to be interpreted as meaning that the products have microcrystalline areas of size 10 to a few hundred nm, values up to max. 50 nm and in particular up to max. 20 nm are preferred.

  • Enzyme mixtures for example of protease and amylase or protease and lipase or protease and cellulase or of cellulase and lipase or of protease, amylase and lipase or protease, lipase and cellulase, but in particular mixtures containing cellulase, are of particular interest.
  • Peroxidases or oxidases have also proven to be suitable in some cases.
  • the enzymes can be adsorbed on carriers and / or embedded in coating substances in order to protect them against premature decomposition.
  • the proportion of enzymes, enzyme mixtures or enzyme granules in the solid mixture can be, for example, about 0.1 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.1 to about 2% by weight.
  • components can be used which have a positive influence on the washability of oil and fat from textiles (so-called soil repellents). This effect becomes particularly clear when a textile is soiled that has already been washed several times beforehand with a detergent according to the invention which contains this oil and fat-dissolving component.
  • the preferred oil- and fat-dissolving components include, for example, nonionic cellulose ethers such as methyl cellulose and methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose with a proportion of methoxyl groups of 15 to 30% by weight and of hydroxypropoxyl groups of 1 to 15% by weight, in each case based on the nonionic cellulose ether, and the polymers of phthalic acid and / or terephthalic acid or their derivatives known from the prior art, in particular polymers of ethylene terephthalates and / or polyethylene glycol terephthalates or anionically and / or nonionically modified derivatives thereof. Of these, the sulfonated derivatives of phthalic acid and terephthalic acid polymers are particularly preferred.
  • Dyes and fragrances can be added to improve the aesthetic impression of the products and, in addition to the softness, provide the consumer with a visually and sensorially "typical and distinctive" product.
  • Individual fragrance compounds for example the synthetic products of the ester, ether, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol and hydrocarbon type, can be used as perfume oils or fragrances.
  • Fragrance compounds of the ester type are, for example, benzyl acetate, phenoxyethyl isobutyrate, p-tert-butylcyclohexyl acetate, linalyl acetate, dimethylbenzylcarbyl acetate, phenylethyl acetate, linalylbenzoate, benzyl formate, ethylmethylphenylglycinate, allylcyclionylylylylylylylylylylylylylylylylylylpylylylylpylylylpylylylpylylylpylylylpylylpylylpylylpylalylateylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylatylat
  • the ethers include, for example, benzyl ethyl ether, the aldehydes, for example, the linear alkanals with 8-18 C atoms, citral, citronellal, citronellyloxyacetaldehyde, cyclamenaldehyde, hydroxycitronellal, lilial and bourgeonal, the ketones, for example, the jonones, oc-isomethylionone and methyl -cedryl ketone, the alcohols anethole, citronellol, eugenol, geraniol, linalool, phenylethyl alcohol and terpineol, the hydrocarbons mainly include the terpenes such as limonene and pinene.
  • Perfume oils of this type can also contain natural fragrance mixtures such as are obtainable from plant sources, for example pine, citrus, jasmine, patchouly, rose or ylang-ylang oil. Also suitable are muscatel, sage oil, chamomile oil, clove oil, lemon balm oil, mint oil, cinnamon leaf oil, linden blossom oil, juniper berry oil, vetiver oil, olibanum oil, galbana oil and labdanum oil as well as orange blossom oil, neroliol, orange peel oil and sandalwood oil.
  • the dye content of the plasticizers according to the invention is usually less than 0.01% by weight, while fragrances can make up up to 2% by weight of the entire formulation.
  • the fragrances can be introduced directly into the process according to the invention via the solids mixture, but it can also be advantageous to apply the fragrances to carriers which increase the adhesion of the perfume to the laundry and ensure a long-lasting fragrance of the textiles due to a slower fragrance release.
  • Cyclodextrins for example, have proven useful as such carrier materials, it being possible for the cyclodextrin-perfume complexes to be additionally coated with further auxiliaries.
  • the agents according to the invention can be colored with suitable dyes.
  • Preferred dyes the selection of which is not difficult for the person skilled in the art, have a high storage stability and insensitivity to the other ingredients of the compositions and to light, and no pronounced substantivity to textile fibers, in order not to dye them.
  • the process according to the invention is initially carried out by dry mixing the solids in a suitable mixer and subsequent granulation with the addition of the mixture of APG paste and aqueous solution of non-surfactant granulation components, the liquid preferably being added by spraying.
  • the process can be carried out in a wide variety of mixing and granulating devices.
  • a suitable mixing and granulating device for example in appropriate systems of the type of an Eirich mixer, a Lödige mixer, for example a ploughshare mixer from the Lödige company, or a mixer from the Schugi company, at peripheral speeds of the mixing elements, preferably between 2 and 7 m / s (ploughshare mixer) or 5 to 50 m / s (Eirich, Schugi), in particular between 15 and 40 m / s, the solids are introduced and then granulated with the addition of the mixture of APG and granulation components.
  • a predetermined grain size of the granules can be set in a manner known per se.
  • the process requires only a very short period of time, for example, of about 0.5 to 10 minutes, in particular about 0.5 to 5 minutes (Eirich mixer, Lödige mixer) to homogenize the mixture with formation of the free-flowing granules.
  • a residence time of 0.5 to 10 seconds is usually sufficient to obtain a free-flowing granulate.
  • the mixture of aqueous APG paste with other aqueous solutions of non-surfactant granulation components is preferably used at a temperature which is above room temperature.
  • the addition to the agitated solid mixture is preferably carried out at temperatures above 60 ° C., in particular at temperatures above 70 ° C.
  • the increased temperature of the granulating liquid has the consequence that higher liquid proportions can be used and the stickiness of the resulting granules is further reduced.
  • a surfactant-containing base powder which did not contain any APG and whose composition is given in Table 1 was produced by spray drying. This base powder was mixed with other solids and placed in a mixer. A 50% by weight APG paste and a 35% by weight sodium silicate solution (each in water) were sprayed onto the agitated solid mixture. After the formation of granules, a 43% by weight solution of an acrylic acid-maleic acid copolymer in water was sprayed on. In process sequence E1 according to the invention, the APG paste was mixed with the sodium silicate solution before spraying on, and the mixture was sprayed onto the solid mixture. In Comparative Example VI, the APG paste and then the sodium silicate solution were sprayed on first.
  • procedure E 1 according to the invention 6% by weight of the copolymer solution can be applied without problems (based on the finished granules), fine, dry and free-flowing granules being obtained. If the procedure according to the invention is not followed (VI), only a reduced amount of the copolymer solution can be applied, since otherwise coarse lumps form and the contents of the mixer stick together and add to the mixer. Even with the reduced amount of copolymer solution, sticky granules are obtained, which were also significantly coarser.
