Embodiment 1

[0086] Example 1: Showing the percentage of oversized particles produced using sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) or sodium carbonate comparison test

[0087] 1.1. WO9804670 discloses in Example VIII a granular detergent composition comprising about 30% HLAS, 36% sodium carbonate, 29% sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) and 5% hydrophilic silica . It has been surprisingly and unexpectedly found that structured detergent particles according to the invention comprising significantly higher amounts of sodium carbonate but little or no STPP lead to the formation of less undesirable oversized particles.

[0088] 1.2. A first sample ("comparative sample") was prepared by 1) 33.98 g of precipitated silica powder with a particle size distribution Dw50 of about 6 microns (commercially available under the trade designation SN340 from Evonik Industries AG) and 2) 244.66 grams of ground sodium carbonate with a particle size distribution Dw50 of about 20-25 microns and 3) 197.09 grams of STPP ...

[0100] Example 2: Structured detergent granules and composite detergent granules

[0101]Exemplary structured detergent granules according to the present invention were prepared by mixing 1) 34 grams of precipitated silica powder (commercially available from Madhu Silica PVT., Ltd.) with a particle size distribution Dw50 of about 5 microns and 2) 311.4 grams of ground sodium carbonate with a particle size distribution Dw50 of about 20-25 um and 77.9 grams of sodium carbonate were weighed into a batch Tilt-a-pin mixer (from Processall) with the mixer running at 700 rpm Mix down for about 2 seconds; 3) inject 276.7 grams of 96% active HLAS into the mixer at a rate of about 25.2 ml / sec until all the paste is added; 4) then allow the mixture to mix for 2 seconds before stopping; a total of about 679.7 Grams of final product were prepared as Granule A (20.3 grams of carbon dioxide produced and lost) using the composition described in Table IV.

Abstract

A structured detergent particle with mid-level surfactant activity, which contains 35-50 wt% of a C 10-C 20 linear alkyl benzene sulphonate, 0.5-8 wt% of a hydrophilic silica, 40-60 wt% of a water-soluble alkaline metal carbonate, 0-5 wt% of a phosphate builder. Such structured detergent particles are free flowing with little or no moisture content, and are formed by a dry neutralization process without any subsequent drying.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to granular detergent compositions. In particular, it relates to granular detergent compositions comprising free-flowing structured detergent particles having a moderate level of surfactant activity (e.g., 35% to 50% by weight) and relatively high Low water content (eg, 0% to 3% by weight), it can be easily formed by dry neutralization method without any subsequent drying. Background technique [0002] Anionic surfactants comprising linear alkylbenzene sulfonates ("LAS") are among the most commonly used cleaning actives in powder detergent formulations. Detergent particles comprising LAS can be readily formed by a variety of different agglomeration processes. [0003] For example, a liquid LAS acid precursor (i.e., linear alkylbenzene sulfonic acid and commonly referred to as "HLAS") can be mixed with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (i.e., caustic) to form a substantially neutralized LAS paste , which are then m...
