- the present invention meets the aforementioned needs in the art by providing a process which produces a detergent composition from liquid acid precursor of anionic surfactant and alkaline inorganic materials.
- the present invention also meets the aforementioned needs in the art by providing a process which produces a granular detergent composition for flexibility in the ultimate density of the final composition from agglomeration (e.g., non-tower) process.
- the process does not use the conventional spray drying towers currently which is limited in producing high surfactant loading compositions.

- the present invention provides many benefits. Although not wanting to be limited by theory, it is believed that by controlling the ratio of the average surface area of the powder materials, which includes the recycled fines, to the amount of liquid detersive materials, the generation of fines can be controlled. In one typical process, fines are generated from a fluid bed cooler via a mixer, collected in a bin, and then fed back to the mixer. If more fines are generated than are fed back (or recycled back), this unbalance would cause the accumulation of fines in the bin and eventually shut down the system over time.
