Definitions

  • This invention relates to a process for making a detergent dishwasher tablet.
  • co-granules means granules comprising more than one compound or component of an overall cleaning system.
  • granule is to be interpreted broadly and is intended to embrace various particulate forms such as granulate, coarse powder, tablets and noodles.
  • tablette is to be construed as meaning a discretely shaped solid body of material, of which the shape and dimensions may vary with the application envisaged, and which may for example have a weight in the range of from about 1 to about 100 grams, preferably from about 10 to about 50 grams.
  • Dishwashing compositions are frequently made up from granules of one particular inorganic compound such as e.g. alkali silicate and these compositions often contain other ingredients, especially organic compounds for example, in the form of different particles.
  • the silicate granules for instance often dissolve only with difficulty and they lead to the formation of fines (dust).
  • the dissolution problem is aggravated by the fact that silicate granules having a SiO 2 : Na 2 O molar ratio between 1.8 and 3.0 and a moisture content of below about 18% dissolve only with considerable difficulty.
  • alkali silicate granules with a homogeneous distribution of moisture are difficult to obtain, often as a consequence of the drying process, since less moisture tends to be present in the outer skin and more in the inside of the granules. This also reduces the solubility of the granules during use.
  • builder materials e.g. phosphate-replacing builders like di-, tri- or tetracarboxylic acid and salts thereof, is difficult and therefore relatively expensive. The economics of granule manufacturing processes are therefore important
  • Co-granules useful in detergent compositions are known inter alia from EP-A-0421664 (Rohm and Haas Company), which discloses a polymer-containing granulate containing at least 20% by weight of polymer and at least 20% by weight of a water-soluble inorganic compound. Such compounds are preferably sulphates, carbonates or silicates.
  • other phosphate-replacing builders may also be present, such as zeolites, carbonates, nitrilotriacetic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, salts thereof, phosphonates etc.
  • the examples in the reference disclose granules containing polymer and sodium sulphate or sodium carbonate.
  • EP-A-0561452 discloses phosphate-free machine dishwashing compositions comprising a polyamino acid and an anti-scaling agent
  • Various builder salts may be included in the disclosed compositions, including preferably citrates, alkenylsuccinates, carbonates, bicarbonates, zeolites and mixtures thereof, but the amount of a carbonate and/or bicarbonate builder in the composition is limited to 50% by weight.
  • CH-A-673033 discloses phosphate- and trisodiumnitriloacetate-freealkalinemachinedishwashing compositions comprising sodium citrate, at least one sodium salt of hydroxyethanediphosphonic acid and at least one sodium silicate.
  • JP-A-49076905 discloses spray-dried powder detergents comprising, inter alia, inorganic and organic builder salts.
  • a salt selected from a polyphosphate, carbonate, sulphate, silicate and/or sodium citrate.
  • JP-A-54106509 discloses the preparation of spray-dried granulated detergent compositions comprising a surfactant, an alkali metal silicate salt and a phosphate salt In the process the SiO 2 :M 2 O molar ratio in the silicate is controlled using an acid type surfactant or an organic acid such as citric acid.
  • EP-A-0526978 for instance is disclosed the simultaneous drying and granulation of silicates in a turbine dryer, e.g. a turbogranulation dryer ex. Vomm-Turbo Technology, VOMM IMPIANTI E PROCESSI S.r.l., Milan, Italy.
  • a turbine dryer e.g. a turbogranulation dryer ex. Vomm-Turbo Technology, VOMM IMPIANTI E PROCESSI S.r.l., Milan, Italy.
  • this dryer is less suited for the combined drying and granulation to produce co-granules containing substantial quantities of organic ingredients in conjunction with silicate. Due to the high attrition between the rotating blades and the film formed on the wall during the granulation phase, local overheating can cause partial decomposition of the organic ingredients, leading to (local-) colouring.
  • Drying can also conveniently be achieved by spray drying a slurry by a conventional technique using a spray tower in which the slurry is atomized and dried in a hot air stream.
  • spray drying must be followed by a granulation step (e.g. using a Lödige Ploughshare mixer), optionally after milling.
  • a granulation step e.g. using a Lödige Ploughshare mixer
  • For granulation usually a small amount of moisture is added.
  • the powders obtained in a turbine dryer generally have a wider particle size distribution as part of the product gathers at the walls, creating larger particles. Furthermore powder particles obtained in a turbine dryer are less homogeneously dried as a result of the larger particles being more effectively dried at the outside than on the inside and as a result of the difference in residence time between particles remaining in the gas stream and those sticking on the (heated) wall of the dryer.
  • Dishwashing tablets are frequently produced from a mixture containing granules of one particular inorganic compound, such as e.g. alkali metal silicate, and additionally other ingredients, such as organic builder salts, as separate particles.
  • one particular inorganic compound such as e.g. alkali metal silicate
  • other ingredients such as organic builder salts, as separate particles.
  • binder material that can hold the tablet ingredients together so as to obtain stronger tablets.
  • binding material has a negative influence on the rate of tablet dissolution such that cleaning performance during the washing cycle may be deteriorated.
  • detergent tablets can more easily be formed if a fine grade or powder-form builder salt, such as sodium citrate, is used instead of the granular grades of sodium citrate that are normally used in machine dishwashing powders.
  • a fine grade or powder-form builder salt such as sodium citrate
  • increasing the level of fine citrate leads to poor flow properties of the base powder and, thus to poor die filling during the tabletting process. As a consequence of this, a large variation in individual tablet weights is obtained.
  • the present invention provides a process for making a detergent dishwasher tablet containing more than 20% by weight of a salt of a di-, tri- or tetracarboxylic acid which is an alkali metal salt of citric acid, mellitic acid, oxydisuccinic acid, carboxymethoxysuccinic acid, malonic acid, dipicolinic acid or alkenyl succinic acid, comprising the steps of:
  • the salt of a di-, tri- or tetracarboxylic acid is an alkali metal salt of citric acid, mellitic acid, oxydisuccinic acid, carboxymethoxysuccinic acid, malonic acid, dipicolinic acid or alkenyl succinic acid.
  • Partial salts of the di-, tri- or tetracarboxylic acid in which one or more of the hydrogen ions of the carboxylic groups are replaced by metal ions are particularly useful. Especially sodium and potassium salts can be used with good results for the purpose of the invention. Potassium salts are sometimes preferred because of their higher solubility.
  • alkali metal citrate, especially sodium citrate, in the co-granules according to the present invention is preferred.
  • the use of sodium oxydisuccinate is also preferred.
  • the inorganic salt component of the co-granule of the invention is an alkali metal silicate.
  • Alkali metal disilicates, in particular sodium disilicate, are especially preferred.
  • the co-granule material also comprises at least one polymeric compound, being either acid and/or salt, selected from the group consisting of polycarboxylic acid polymers and polypeptides.
  • Suitable polycarboxylic acid polymers comprise e.g. a water-soluble homopolymer or copolymer having a molecular weight of at least 500. It may be derived from a monocarboxylic acid or from a di-, tri- or polycarboxylic acid. The polymer will normally be used in the form of its water-soluble alkali metal salt
  • One group of polymer materials found to be of value comprises homopolymers derived from a monomer of the formula: wherein R 1 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, C 1 -C 4 alkyl or alkoxy, acetoxy, or -CH 2 COOM; R 2 is hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 alkyl or -COOM and M is an alkali metaL
  • R 1 is hydrogen, hydroxyl, C 1 -C 4 alkyl or alkoxy, acetoxy, or -CH 2 COOM
  • R 2 is hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 alkyl or -COOM
  • M is an alkali metaL
  • this group include the sodium and potassium salts of polyacrylic, polymethacrylic, polyitaconic, polymaleic and polyhydroxyacrylic acids and also the hydrolysis products of the corresponding polymerised acid anhydrides.
  • the polymer obtained by hydrolysis of maleic anhydride falls within this group.
  • a second group of suitable polymeric materials comprises the copolymers of two or more carboxylic monomers of the above formula. Examples of this group in dude the sodium and potassium salts of copolymers of maleic anhydride with acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, crotonic acids, itaconic acid and its anhydride and/or aconitic acid.
  • a third group of suitable polymeric materials comprises the copolymers of one carboxylic monomer of the above formula and two or more non-carboxylic acid monomers such as ethylene, propylene, styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, acrylonitrile, acrylamide, vinylacetate, methylvinylketone, acrolein and esters of carboxylic acid monomers such as ethyl acrylate and methacrylate.
  • non-carboxylic acid monomers such as ethylene, propylene, styrene, alpha-methylstyrene, acrylonitrile, acrylamide, vinylacetate, methylvinylketone, acrolein and esters of carboxylic acid monomers such as ethyl acrylate and methacrylate.
  • Suitable polypeptides which can be incorporated in the co-granules according to the present invention include for example poly-aspartate and polyglutamate.
  • One of the advantages of incorporating such an inorganic salt as mentioned above into the co-granule of the invention is that it increases the solubility of the co-granule, especially if the co-granule contains silicates with SiO 2 : Na 2 O >2.4, because these salts dissolve rapidly and thereby convert the co-granule into an open sponge-like structure so that the surface area of the co-granule is increased. This leads to an increase of the solubility of the remaining solid material of the co-granule. Most of the salts also act as a builder, reinforcing detergent activity.
  • adjunct materials commonly found in cleaning compositions, such as: enzyme stabilizers, such as the poly-alcohols, e.g. glycerol, and borax; anti-scaling agents; corrosion inhibitors, e.g. zinc salts, aluminium salts, benzotriazole, etc; crystal-growth inhibitors; threshold agents; thickening agents; anionic surfactants; perfumes and dyestuffs; preservatives.
  • enzyme stabilizers such as the poly-alcohols, e.g. glycerol, and borax
  • anti-scaling agents such as the poly-alcohols, e.g. glycerol, and borax
  • corrosion inhibitors e.g. zinc salts, aluminium salts, benzotriazole, etc
  • crystal-growth inhibitors e.g. zinc salts, aluminium salts, benzotriazole, etc
  • threshold agents e.g. zinc salts, aluminium salts, benzotriazole, etc
  • a small amount of preferably low- to non-foaming nonionic surfactant which includes any alkoxylated nonionic surface-active agent wherein the alkoxy moiety is selected from the group consisting of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and mixtures thereof, is preferably used to improve the detergency and to suppress excessive foaming due to protein soil.
  • an excessive proportion of nonionic surfactant should be avoided.
  • an amount of up to 7% by weight e.g. 0.1 to 5% by weight, preferably from 0.5 to 4% by weight, is quite sufficient.
  • nonionic surfactants for use in the co-granule material of the invention are the low- and non-foaming ethoxylated straight-chain alcohols of the Plurafac R RA series, supplied by the Eurane Company; of the Luten-sol R LF series, supplied by the BASF Company and of the Triton R DF series, supplied by the Rohm & Haas Company.
  • the average particle size of the co-granules prepared according to the present invention is from 100 to 1500 ⁇ m. More particularly there is a preference for co-granules having an average particle size of from about 300 to about 900 ⁇ m especially from about 500 to about 700 ⁇ m, and a Rosen Rammler N-value above about 25. Particle size determination and the definition and determination of the Rosen Rammler N-value are described in detail in "Small Particle Statistics" by Herdan, E; second revised edition; Butterworth, London 1960, in particular pp 86-101. Graph paper according to DIN 1171 (new) is often used to determine the N-value.
  • the co-granules are prepared by a process which comprises preparing a slurry of the ingredients of the co-granule and drying the mixture by means of suitable equipment, e.g. a turbine dryer such as a turbogranulation drier ex Vomm-Turbo Technology, Vomm Impianti E Processi S.r.I., Milan, Italy.
  • suitable equipment e.g. a turbine dryer such as a turbogranulation drier ex Vomm-Turbo Technology, Vomm Impianti E Processi S.r.I., Milan, Italy.
  • An alternative to drying using a turbine drier, and especially preferred, is spray-drying the slurry by a conventional technique using a spray tower in which the slurry is atomized and dried in a hot air stream.
  • the resulting particles may be milled and/or restructured, for example in a granulation process, e.g. using a Lödige recycler, a Lödige plough share mixer, or any other suitable apparatus, such as a twin roll compactor. Any restructuring stage does not need to be limited to the material produced by spray-drying and optionally then milled, which is used as an example only.
  • Heat sensitive components of the granules e.g.
  • sodium bicarbonate may also be added at this stage, as the temperature during granulation in e.g. a Lödige recycler and a Lödige plough share mixer followed by fluid bed drying to remove excess moisture, should always be below about 100°C. This is much lower than with turbine driers which usually operate at around 300°C. Minor ingredients that are used in the final powder or granulate formulation that are available in liquid or fine powder form, e.g. surfactant, perfume, dyes, organic phosphonate, corrosion inhibitors, may also be added as required. Turbine driers usually operate at around 300°C.
  • the slurry is sprayed onto fine (recycled) particles and dried to form gradually growing co-granules.
  • Particularly favoured are processes that separate fine particles from the coarser ones, preferably continuously, and recirculate the fines to the fluidized bed for further spraying-on. Particles of the desired size can then be separated from the process at the appropriate time.
  • Suitable equipment for continuous drying and granulation is e. g. an AGT-unit ex Glatt-GmbH/Process Technology, Binzen, Lorrach, Germany.
  • the co-granules of this aspect of the invention have a bulk density of at least about 700 g/dm 3 , more preferably above about 800 g/dm 3 , and most preferably a bulk density between about 900 g/dm 3 and about 1200 g/ dm 3 .
  • High bulk densities are desirable at present, to be able to provide final detergent compositions with a relatively high specific weight.
  • the co-granules obtained as described above are mixed with a bleach system and/or an enzyme system, which usually may be added to the co-granules in the form of separate particles which may have the same particle size distribution as the co-granules. Also it is usually advantageous if the bulk density of the bleach/enzyme particles is comparable to that of the co-granules.
  • the resulting mixture comprises at least 25% by weight, preferably at least 40% by weight, more preferably at least about 50% by weight of co-granules, up to 90% by weight co-granules.
