Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention relates to a high-density granular detergent composition. More specifically, it relates to a high-density granular detergent composition having a high detergency, which comprises an alkylolamide type surfactant excellent in biodegradability and safety as one component of the surfactant.

2. Description of the Related Art A detergent for clothes is used for solubilizing stains, a surfactant for dissolving and dispersing fibers in a washing liquid, an alkaline agent for promoting decomposition and solubilization (emulsification) of stains, and dispersing stains. Basically, it is composed of a polymer compound, a sequestering agent for removing calcium and magnesium, etc., which reduce the ability of the surfactant from the washing liquid. Of these components, a substance that does not exhibit cleaning performance by itself, but is intended to improve cleaning power by combining with a surfactant, is generally called a detergent builder. Among these detergent builders, the above-mentioned sequestration of metal ions is a substance for more effectively expressing the performance of the surfactant, and is an extremely important builder.

Surfactants play a major role in removing dirt from fibers as described above. Generally, surfactants used in detergents are roughly classified into anionic ones and nonionic ones. Typical anionic surfactants are alkylbenzene sulfonates having an alkyl group having 8 to 16 carbon atoms, sulfuric acid ester salts of higher alcohols having 10 to 18 carbon atoms, α-olefin sulfonates, and alkane sulfonates. (SA
S) and α-sulfofatty acid ester salts, and typical nonionic surfactants are polyoxyethylene alkyl ether and polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether. Techniques using these surfactants include, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 64-10039 and Japanese Patent Publication No.
No. 43119, Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-66440, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-339898,

There are issues such as No. 0.

The high density, compactness and miniaturization of detergents are progressing in accordance with market demands such as resource saving, labor saving and transportation cost reduction. However, the above-mentioned surfactants are still used, and there is a demand for surfactants having higher cleaning performance suitable for high-density detergents.

In recent years, in addition to the above requirements, there is a concern about the problem of environmental impact, and the biodegradability of high-density detergents is being investigated.

Absent. Under such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a high-density granular detergent with improved detergency in a system containing an anionic surfactant and an alkylolamide.

1500 ° C, preferably 500-1000 ° C, more preferably 600
A method of crystallization by firing at a temperature in the range of -900 ° C is exemplified.

When the average particle size exceeds 100 μm, the rate of ion exchange tends to be slow, resulting in deterioration of detergency. Further, if it is less than 0.1 μm, the hygroscopicity and CO ₂ absorbing property increase due to an increase in specific surface area,
Quality degradation tends to be significant. Here, the average particle size is the median size of the particle size distribution.

The crystalline silicate having such an average particle size and particle size distribution can be prepared by crushing with a crusher such as a vibration mill, a hammer mill, a ball mill or a roller mill.
