<Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a silicate slurry suitable as a raw material for detergents and cleaning agents. <Technical Background> It is well known that silicate minerals such as zeolite, sepiolite, and pentonite, or certain types of amorphous aluminosilicates have ion exchange ability and adsorption ability. In recent years, some of these have been used in place of phosphates in detergents and cleaning agents for the purpose of suppressing phosphorus content in water bodies. Initially, the silicates in detergents and cleaning agents were formulated as dry raw materials, but due to various handling problems and economical considerations, there has recently been a tendency to use them as a slurry. However, since these silicates have a particle size on the μm order, when used as an aqueous slurry,
The difference in density between silicate and water causes fixed separation, which poses a problem that seriously impedes factory operations. For this reason, several proposals using organic polymers, surfactants, inorganic soluble salts, or swellable silicates have been made regarding aqueous silicate slurry compositions with high suspension stability and methods for producing the same ( JP-A No. 51-91898, No. 55-84533, No. 57
-61614, 54-95599, 54-40298, same
54-64504 or 55-127498). <Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, in these conventional techniques, those using organic polymers generally have a decrease in suspension stability at high pH and fluidity at low temperatures, and those using surfactants have a large amount of Those using air entrainment and inorganic soluble substances have drawbacks such as loss of fluidity at low temperatures and decreased suspension stability due to mechanical external forces such as stirring, and none are satisfactory in all respects.
For example, JP-A-54-84533 discloses the use of 0.01 to 5% by weight of a polyacrylamide-based organic coagulant; Along with gas generation, suspension stability also decreases over time. Furthermore, in JP-A No. 51-91898, 0.5 to 6% by weight of carboxytylcellulose sodium salt or polyacrylic acid-based polymer based on silicate slurry,
In particular, a mixture of 1.3 to 3% by weight is disclosed, but the polymer used here is different from the crosslinked (crosslinked) type multibranched polymer used in the present invention, Since it is a polymer consisting of a linear main chain, mixing a small amount has no effect, but when mixing a sufficient amount to stabilize the suspension of the slurry, the apparent viscosity of the slurry is 500 to 3000 cps at 25°C. Preferably
It has a high flow rate of 1,000 to 9,000 cps, which has the disadvantage of significantly reducing fluidity. Furthermore, the apparent viscosity of these polymer liquids changes significantly due to changes in pH and differences in the type and concentration of coexisting salts.
Furthermore, it has the disadvantage of causing a decrease in suspension stability and fluidity. <Means for Solving the Problems> In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies to obtain an aqueous slurry of silicate that is easy to handle as a raw material for detergents and cleaning agents. The present invention was completed based on the knowledge that the above-mentioned problems can be overcome by coexisting a polymerized crosslinked product of carboxyl type monomers. That is, the present invention provides fluidity and suspension stability characterized by containing some carboxyl type monomer polymerized crosslinked product in an aqueous slurry in which 30 to 50% by weight of fine silicate exists as an anhydride. The present invention provides a silicate slurry rich in properties. Next, the present invention will be explained in detail. The silicate used in the present invention is a silicate having ion exchange ability or adsorption ability, and may be either a natural product or a synthetic product. In the case of natural products, those that have been subjected to ion exchange treatment, acid/alkali treatment, or other pretreatment to improve purity and functionality, or that have been sized by pulverization are more suitable. Examples of minerals applicable to the present invention include silicates such as zeolite, sepiolite, and pentonite, and amorphous aluminosilicates. When the suspension of the present invention is used as a detergent builder, the silicate is preferably an amorphous aluminosilicate or type A zeolite, which has a high calcium ion exchange capacity. The average particle size of the silicate varies slightly depending on how the aqueous slurry is used, but from the standpoint of suspension stability, it is 20 μm or less, preferably 10 μm or less. The upper and lower limits of the silicate content in the aqueous slurry are determined by the desired apparent viscosity of the aqueous slurry and the economic effect, and are 30 to 50% by weight, preferably 40 to 47% by weight of the silicate content in terms of anhydride. weight%
It is. If the silicate content exceeds 50% by weight, the apparent viscosity will rapidly increase and the suspension stability will decrease, which is undesirable. If the silicate content exceeds 30% by weight, transportation costs will increase and excess waste will be used in the detergent manufacturing process. This is not preferable because it causes an increase in moisture content, which has a negative economic effect. The carboxyl type monomer polymer crosslinked product used in the present invention is, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 53-5711,
This is an electrolyte having a multi-branched crosslinked polymer chain with carboxyl groups obtained by methods such as No. 108205, No. 51-46586, No. 51-107290, and No. 53-42285. The physical properties of the above electrolyte vary slightly depending on the crosslinking agent used, but since it is crosslinked and polymerized in a multi-branched manner, its solution is more fluid than the polyacrylate system disclosed in JP-A-51-91898. They rarely have a direction when it comes to sexuality, and they don't pull any strings. It also has extremely poor tackiness, and has features such as small changes in apparent viscosity even when temperature, pH, salt concentration, etc. change. In the present invention, among the crosslinked products, "Hibiswako 105 (trade name of Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.)", which is characterized by less inhibiting effects on suspension stability and fluidity due to soluble salts and high pH, is used. It is even more suitable. A polyacrylate material consisting of a linear main chain can lower the pH of an aqueous slurry to 12 or less,
In addition, unless the apparent viscosity is kept high, the suspension stability will be poor and therefore it is not suitable for the present invention. The carboxyl type monomer crosslinked polymer of the present invention exhibits weak acidity when dissolved in water, so if it is highly alkaline like an aqueous synthetic zeolite slurry, it may be mixed as a powder, or it may be mixed with soda powder. The mixture may be mixed after being neutralized with an alkaline component such as , potash, or amine. The mixing ratio of the carboxyl type monomer crosslinked polymer varies depending on the apparent viscosity of the aqueous slurry, the particle size of the silicate, etc., if desired. Naturally, as the mixing ratio decreases, the apparent viscosity and suspension stability also decrease, and as the mixing ratio increases, the apparent viscosity and suspension stability increase. Therefore, the preferred mixing ratio is
It is 0.01 to 0.3% by weight, more preferably 0.04 to 0.2% by weight. <Effects of the Invention> The silicate aqueous slurry of the present invention exhibits small changes in apparent viscosity over a wide temperature range of 0 to 50°C, and has low viscosity, high fluidity, and excellent suspension stability. It also has many other features and advantages, such as not changing even when external physical forces such as vibration or stirring are applied. Note that the suspension stabilization method used in the present invention may be used in combination with other known methods. For example, JP-A-57
-63399 discloses a method of dispersing zeolite in sodium silicate, but the slurry produced by this method has the disadvantage that, if left standing, a highly viscous sediment is formed that is difficult to redisperse even when stirred. have. However, by mixing a small amount of the carboxyl type monomer crosslinked polymer according to the present invention, the above drawbacks can be improved without changing the apparent viscosity of the slurry, and the drawbacks of other known methods can be compensated for. Furthermore, it becomes possible to bring out its effectiveness. <Examples> Examples of the present invention will be shown below along with comparative examples.
The physical properties of Examples and Comparative Examples were measured by the methods shown in Table 1.
