Description
PROCEDURE TO MAKE A COMPOSITION DETERGENT BY A PROCEDURE THAT IS NOT OF TOWER
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a non-tower process for producing a particulate detergent composition. More particularly, the invention is directed to a continuous process during which detergent agglomerates are produced by feeding a surfactant and coating materials in a series of mixers. The process produces a free-flowing detergent composition, whose density can be adjusted for a wide range of consumer needs, and which can be sold commercially.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Recently, there has been considerable interest within the detergent industry for laundry detergents that are "compact" and, therefore, have low dosage volumes. To facilitate the production of these so-called low dosage detergents, many attempts have been made to produce high density global detergents, for example, with a density of 600 g / 1 or more. Low dosage detergents are currently in high demand because they conserve resources and can be marketed in small packages that are more convenient for consumers. However, the degree to which modern detergent products need to be "compact" in nature remains uncertain. In fact, many consumers, especially in developing countries, continue to prefer higher dosage levels in their respective laundry operations. In general, there are two primary types of procedures by which granules or detergent powders can be prepared. The first type of process involves spray drying an aqueous detergent suspension in a spray drying tower to produce highly porous detergent granules (eg, tower process for low density detergent compositions). In the second type of process, the different detergent components are mixed dry, after which they are agglomerated with a binder such as anionic or nonionic surfactant to produce high density detergent compositions (e.g., agglomeration process for produce high density detergent compositions). In the two previous processes, the important factors that determine the density of the resulting detergent granules are the shape, porosity and particle size distribution of said granules, the density of the different starting materials, the shape of the different starting materials. , and its respective chemical composition. There have been many attempts in the art to provide methods that increase the density of detergent granules or powders. Particular attention has been given to the densification of spray-dried granules by post-tower treatment. For example, an attempt involves an intermittent procedure in which granular or spray-dried detergent powders containing sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium sulfate are densified and spheronized in a Marumerizer®. This apparatus comprises a rotatable table, made rough and substantially horizontal, located inside and at the base of a substantially vertical smooth wall cylinder. However, this process is essentially an intermittent process and is therefore less convenient for the large-scale production of detergent powders. More recently, other attempts have been made to provide continuous processes to increase the density of spray-dried or post-tower detergent granules. Typically, said processes require a first apparatus that pulverizes or crushes the granules, and a second apparatus that increases the density of the pulverized granules by agglomeration. Although these procedures achieve the desired increase in density by treating or densifying spray-dried or post-tower granules, are limited in their ability to go further at the surfactant level without a subsequent coating step. In addition, the treatment or densification by "post tower" is not favorable in terms of economy (high capital cost) and complexity of operation. In addition, all of the aforementioned processes are directed primarily to densify or otherwise process spray-dried granules. Currently, the relative amounts and types of materials subjected to spray drying processes in the production of detergent granules have been limited. For example, it has been difficult to achieve high levels of agent
^ LO surfactant in the resulting detergent composition, a feature that facilitates the production of detergents more efficiently. Thus, it would be convenient to have a procedure by means of which detergent compositions can be produced without having the limitations imposed by the
conventional spray drying techniques. To that end, the technique is also replete with descriptions of procedures involving agglomerating detergent compositions. For example, attempts have been made to agglomerate detergency builders by mixing zeolite and / or
silicates stratified in a mixer to form free-flowing agglomerates. Although such attempts suggest that their process can be used to produce detergent agglomerates, they do not provide a mechanism by which starting detergent materials in the form of pastes, liquids and
dry materials can be effectively agglomerated in brittle, free flowing agglomerates.
Accordingly, there is a need in the art to have an agglomeration process (other than tower) to continuously produce a detergent composition having high density and that is supplied directly from the starting detergent ingredients, and preferably that the Density can be achieved by adjusting the condition of the procedure. Likewise, there is a need for such a process that is more efficient, flexible and economical to facilitate the large-scale production of detergents (1) for flexibility in the final density of the final composition and (2) for flexibility in terms of incorporating Several different types of detergent ingredients (especially liquid ingredients) in the procedure.

These and other concomitant objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment and the appended claims.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITY
The present invention is directed to a process that produces free flowing granular detergent agglomerates having a density of at least about 600 g / 1. The process produces granular detergent agglomerates from an aqueous and / or non-aqueous surfactant which is then coated with fine powders having a diameter of 0.1 to 500 microns, to obtain low density granules.
Process
First step (i) [Step (a)] In the first step (i) of the process, a surfactant (s), ie, one or more aqueous surfactants and / or a surfactant are fed into a first mixer. non-aqueous, which are in the form of powder, paste and / or liquid, and fine powders having a diameter of 0.1 to 500 microns, preferably of about 1 to about 100 microns, to make agglomerates. (The definition of surfactants and fine powders is given in detail below). Optionally, an internal powder recirculation stream having a diameter of about 0.1 to about 300 microns generated from the fluidized apparatus (e.g., fluidized bed dryer and / or fluidized bed cooler), may be fed to the mixer in addition to fine powders. The amount of said internal powder recirculation stream may be from 0 to about 60% by weight of the final product. Preferably, grinders that are fixable to the second mixer can be used to break up and separate undesirable oversize agglomerates. Therefore, the process that includes the second mixer with grinders is useful to obtain a reduced amount of agglomerates of
excessive size as final products, and said method is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. ? In another embodiment of the invention, the surfactant for the first step (i) may be initially fed into a mixer or pre-mixer (eg, a
conventional worm extruder or other similar mixer) before the above, after which the mixed detergent materials are fed into the first mixer as described herein to achieve agglomeration. Generally speaking, preferably the
The average residence time of the first mixer is on the scale of about 0.5 to about 15 minutes, and the energy per unit mass of the first mixer (energy condition) is on the scale of about 0.15 kj / kg to about 7 kj / kg, most preferably, the average residence time of the first mixer is from about 30 to about 6 minutes and the energy per unit mass of the first mixer (energy condition) is on the scale of about 0.15 kj / kg to about 4 kj / kg The examples of the first mixer can be any type of mixer known to those skilled in the art, as long as the mixer can maintain the condition mentioned above for the first step. An example can be the Lódige KM mixer manufactured by the company Lódige (Germany). As a result of the first step (i), the agglomerates (first agglomerates) are then obtained. The first agglomerates are then subjected to (1) the second step or (2) the first step (ii), followed by the second step.
First step (ii) [Step (a ') l The product resulting from the first step (i) (ie, the first agglomerates) is fed to a second mixer. The first agglomerates are fed to a second mixer and then finely atomized liquid is sprayed onto the agglomerates in the second mixer. Optionally, an excess of fine powders formed in the first step (i) is added to the first step (ii). If the excess of fine powders is added to the first step (ii), it is useful to spray the finely atomized liquid to bind the excess of fine powders on the surface of the agglomerates. Around 0-10%, most preferably about 2-5% of detergent powdered ingredients of the type used in the first step (i) and / or other detergent ingredients can be added to the second mixer. Speaking generally, preferably the average residence time of the second mixer is on the scale of about 0.2 to about 5 seconds and the tip speed of the second mixer is on the scale of about 10 m / s to about 30 m / s, the energy per unit mass of the second mixer (power condition ) is on the scale from about 0.15 kj / kg to about 5 kj / kg, most preferably, the average residence time of the first mixer is on the scale from about 0.2 to about 5 seconds and the tip speed of the second mixer is at the scale of approximately 10 m / s to approximately 30 m / s, the energy per unit mass of the second mixer (energy condition) is on the scale of from 0.15 kj / kg to about 5 kj / kg, more preferably the average residence time of the second mixer is on the scale of about 0.2 to about 5 seconds, the tip speed of the second mixer is on the scale of about 15 m / sa approximately 26 m / s, the energy per unit mass of the second mixer (energy condition) is on the scale of about 0.2 kj / kg to about 3 kj / kg Examples of the second mixer can be any type of mixer known to those skilled in the art, as long as the mixer can maintain the condition mentioned above for the first step (ii). An example can be the Flexomic model, manufactured by the company Schugi (The Netherlands). As a result of the first step (ii), the second agglomerates are then obtained.
Second step [Step (b) 3 In the second step, the first agglomerates of the first step (i) or the second agglomerates of the first step (ii) are fed to a fluidized apparatus, such as a fluidized bed, to improve the granulation and produce high density, free-flowing granules. The second step may proceed in one or more of a fluidized apparatus (e.g., by combining different types of fluidized devices such as fluidized bed dryer and fluidized bed cooler). Optionally, about 0 to about 10%, most preferably about 2-5% of detergent powder materials of the type used in the first step and / or other detergent ingredients can be added to the second step. Also optionally, from about 0 to about 20%, most preferably from about 2 to about 10% of liquid detergent materials of the type used in the first step (i), the first step (ii) and / or other detergent ingredients can be added at the step, to improve the granulation and to coat on the surface of the granules. Generally speaking, to achieve the density of at least about 600 g / 1, preferably more than 650 g / 1, the conditions of a fluidized apparatus may be: Average residence time: from about 1 to about 10 minutes Depth of the fluidized bed : from about 100 to about 300 mm Dew drop size: not more than about 50 microns Dew height: from about 175 to about 250 mm Fluidized speed: from about 0.2 to about 1.4 m / s Bed temperature: from about 12 at about 100 ° C, most preferably; Average residence time: from about 2 to about 6 minutes Depth of the fluidized bed: from about 100 to about 250 mm Dew drop size: less than about 50 microns Dew height: from about 175 to about 200 mm Fluidizing speed: from about 0.3 to about 1.0 m / s Bed temperature: from about 12 to about 80 ° C. If two different types of fluidized apparatuses are used, the average residence time of the second step j may be in total from about 2 to about 20 minutes, most preferably about 2 to 12 minutes. A coating agent may be added to improve the flowability and / or minimize over-agglomeration of the detergent composition in one or more of the following points of the present process: (1) the coating agent may be added directly after using the cooler or fluid bed dryer; (2) the coating agent can be added between the fluid bed dryer and the fluid bed cooler; and / or (3) the coating agent can be added directly to the fluid bed dryer. The coating agent is preferably selected from the group consisting of aluminosilicates, silicates, carbonates, and mixtures thereof.

EXAMPLE 3
The following is an example for obtaining agglomerates having high density using the Mixer KM (KM-600), followed by the fluid bed apparatus for additional granulates.
[Step 1] 250 - 270 kg / hr of coconut fatty alcohol sulfate aqueous surfactant paste (C] _2-?,
71. 5% active), 40-80 kg / hr of HLAS (an acid precursor of alkylbenzenesulfonate of Cn-C ^ g; 94-97% active) are fed to a KM-600 mixer together with 220 kg / hr of STPP powder
(average particle size of 40 to 75 microns), 160-200 kg / hr of micronised soda ash (average particle size 15 microns), 80-120 kg / hr of micronised sulfate (average particle size of 15 microns) and 200 kg / hr of recirculated fine particles. The surfactant paste is fed at about 40-52 ° C, and the powders are fed at room temperature. The shredders for the KM mixer can be used to reduce the amount of oversized agglomerates. The conditions of the KM mixer are as follows: Average residence time: 3 - 6 minutes Power condition: 0.15 - 2 kj / kg Mixer speed: 100 - 150 rpm Cover temperature: 30 - 50 ° C [Step 2] The agglomerates of the mixer KM are fed to a fluidized bed drying apparatus to dry, round and grow the agglomerates. 20-80 kg / hr of liquid silicate (43% solids, 2.0 R) can also be added in the fluidized bed drying apparatus at 35 ° C. The conditions of the fluidized bed drying apparatus are as follows: Average residence time: 2-4 minutes Depth of the non-fluidized bed: 200 mm Dew drop size: less than 50 microns Dew height: 175-250 mm (about distributor plate) Fluidized speed: 0.4 - 0.8 m / s Bed temperature: 40 - 70 ° C The granules resulting from step 3 have a density of approximately 700 g / 1, and can optionally undergo optional cooling procedures, configuration and / or spray. Having thus described the invention in detail, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention, and that the latter should not be considered to be limited to what is described in the specification.
