Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the preparation of concentrated, free-flowing anionic surfactant Granules with active substance contents above 50% by weight from the corresponding Anionic surfactant acids.
- anionic surfactants fall in the course of Manufacturing process in their acid form and must be used with suitable neutralizing agents be converted into their alkali or alkaline earth metal salts.
- This neutralization step can be carried out with solutions of alkali metal hydroxides or with solid ones alkaline substances, especially sodium carbonate, are carried out.
- aqueous alkalis precipitates the surfactant salts in the form of aqueous preparation forms at, water contents in the range of about 10 to 80 wt .-% and in particular can be set in the range from about 35 to 60% by weight.
- water contents in the range of about 10 to 80 wt .-% and in particular can be set in the range from about 35 to 60% by weight.
- Have products of this type pasty to room temperature at room temperature, the flow and The pumpability of such pastes is already limited in the range of approximately 50% by weight of active substance is or is even lost, so that in the processing of such pastes, in particular when incorporated into solid mixtures, for example in solid washing and Detergents, considerable problems arise.
- Free-flowing, non-hygroscopic and clumping anionic surfactant granules can with suitable carrier materials, for example zeolites and / or silicates and / or Alkali carbonates or by surface treatment, for example with finely divided solids, be preserved.
- suitable carrier materials for example zeolites and / or silicates and / or Alkali carbonates or by surface treatment, for example with finely divided solids.
- European patent application EP-A-0 678 573 (Procter & Gamble) describes a process for producing free-flowing surfactant granules with bulk densities above 600 g / l, in which anionic surfactant acids are converted to a paste with at least 40% by weight surfactant with an excess of neutralizing agent and this paste is mixed with one or more powder (s), at least one of which must be spray-dried and which contains anionic polymer and cationic surfactant, the resulting granules optionally being able to be dried.
- anionic surfactant acids are converted to a paste with at least 40% by weight surfactant with an excess of neutralizing agent and this paste is mixed with one or more powder (s), at least one of which must be spray-dried and which contains anionic polymer and cationic surfactant, the resulting granules optionally being able to be dried.
- European patent application EP-A-0 438 320 discloses a batch process for the production of surfactant granules with bulk densities above 650 g / l.
- Anionic surfactant acid is added to a solution of an alkaline inorganic substance in water, possibly with the addition of other solids, and granulated in a high-speed mixer / granulator with a liquid binder. Neutralization and granulation take place in the same apparatus, but in separate process steps, so that the process can only be operated in batches.
- ABS acid contains at least 62% NaOH is neutralized and then granulated with the addition of auxiliaries, for example ethoxylated alcohols or alkylphenols or a polyethylene glycol melting above 48.9 ° C. with a molecular weight between 4000 and 50,000.
- auxiliaries for example ethoxylated alcohols or alkylphenols or a polyethylene glycol melting above 48.9 ° C. with a molecular weight between 4000 and 50,000.
- zeolite and / or sodium carbonate is not described in this document.
- EP-A-0 508 543 (Procter & Gamble) mentions a process in which a surfactant acid is neutralized with an excess of alkali to form an at least 40% by weight surfactant paste, which is then conditioned and granulated. A continuous process which avoids the decomposition of acid-labile ingredients when using ABS acid is not disclosed here.
- German laid - open specification DE-A-42 32 874 (Henkel KGaA) discloses a process for producing washable and cleaning-active anionic surfactant granules by neutralizing anionic surfactants in their acid form. However, only solid, powdery substances are disclosed as neutralizing agents. The granules obtained have surfactant contents of around 30% by weight and bulk densities of less than 550 g / l.
- the object of the invention was to provide a simple and comparatively inexpensive method for the production of concentrated anionic surfactant granules, starting from the acid form of the surfactant and with the addition of granulation-promoting solids, for example zeolite to develop, the granules obtained active substance contents of at least 50% by weight.
- the procedure according to the invention ensures that sufficient alkalinity is present to avoid acidic decomposition of the zeolites.
- the inventive method has the advantage of a simplified equipment (only one mixer required) and the more convenient Execution of the process on the one hand because of problems that are usually encountered in neutralization occur (acidic nests) and on the other hand moving or pumping around highly viscous anionic surfactant pastes are not required.
- the Heat of neutralization is intercepted by the heat capacity of the powder. Local overheating and discoloration of the anionic surfactant is drastically reduced in this way or completely prevented.
- the neutralization on the powder The amount of water introduced is reduced, resulting in granules with an increased anionic surfactant content can be produced.
- the fine crystalline, synthetic and bound used Zeolite containing water can be, for example, A and / or P.

- the zeolite structures are formed by linking AlO 4 tetrahedra with SiO 4 tetrahedra, this network being occupied by cations and water molecules. The cations in these structures are relatively mobile and can be exchanged for other cations in different degrees.
- the intercrystalline "zeolitic" water can be released continuously and reversibly depending on the type of zeolite, while for some types of zeolite structural changes are also associated with the release or absorption of water.
