Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for converting liquid to pasty preparation forms of washable and cleaning-active surfactant compounds into storage-stable and dust-free granules with increased bulk density.
  • anionic oleochemical surfactant compounds are the known sulfofatty acid methyl esters (fatty acid methyl ester sulfonates, MES) which are obtained by sulfonating the methyl esters of fatty acids of vegetable or animal origin with predominantly 10 to 20 carbon atoms in the fatty acid molecule and subsequent neutralization to water-soluble mono-salts, in particular the corresponding alkali salts.
  • MES fatty acid methyl ester sulfonates
  • ester cleavage gives them the corresponding sulfo fatty acids or their di-salts, which, like mixtures of di-salts and sulfo-fatty acid methyl ester mono-salts, have important washing and cleaning properties.
  • comparable problems also occur in other surfactant classes when trying to display the corresponding surfactant raw materials in dry form.
  • a final bleaching for example with aqueous hydrogen peroxide, is generally required in their synthesis, so that here, too, today's technology leads to aqueous paste form.
  • APG pastes Such aqueous alkyl glycoside pastes (APG pastes) are more at risk from hydrolysis or microbial contamination, for example, than corresponding dry products.
  • simple drying according to the technologies customary to date presents considerable difficulties.
  • drying an aqueous paste of the alkali salts of detergent soaps and / or ABS pastes can also cause considerable problems.
  • Granulation is an alternative to spray drying of surfactant pastes.

This results in a highly concentrated aqueous FAS paste which contains less than 14% by weight of water and less than 20% by weight of further additives contains, mechanically processed at temperatures between 10 and 45 ° C until granules are formed. In this way, FAS granules are obtained which are already dispersed at washing temperatures between 4 and 30 ° C; however, the process temperature to be observed and the relatively low maximum water content of the surfactant paste are critical process parameters. In addition, it is not disclosed what bulk densities the granules produced by this process have.

Abstract

L'invention a pour but de fournir un procédé de fabrication de granulats tensioactifs lourds et coulants, pour lequel la teneur en un composant liquide non tensioactif ne constitue aucun paramètre critique du processus. Ce but est atteint, conformément à l'invention, grâce au fait qu'on effectue la granulation en même temps que le séchage d'une préparation tensioactive renfermant un composant liquide non tensioactif et se présentant sous une forme liquide à pâteuse sous la pression normale et à des températures comprises entre 20 et 40 °C. Si on le désire, on peut effectuer la granulation conjointement au séchage en incorporant une substance solide minérale ou organique. Les granulats tensioactifs obtenus suivant le procédé de l'invention présentent une masse volumique apparente d'au moins 500 g/l, de préférence de 550 à 1000 g/l.
