Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for improving the storage stability of sodium percarbonate (2Na2CO3.3H2O2) by encasing it in sodium perborate. According to the invention, sodium percarbonate wet salt, obtained by the reaction of soda with hydrogen peroxide in the aqueous phase and separating the salt from the aqueous phase, is treated with a sodium perborate-containing solution or suspension in a solid-liquid separation device according to a process of displacement wash. The invention provides longer storage stability with a thinner perborate coating than prior art processes.

Date Sep. 15, 1994The invention relates to a method for increasing the storage stability of sodium percarbonate (2 Na2CO3.3 H2O2) by coating with a sodium perborate. According to the present invention wet sodium percarbonate salt, obtained by reacting sodium carbonate with hydrogen peroxide in aqueous phase and separating the salt from the aqueous phase, is treated with a solution or suspension containing sodium perborate in a solid-liquid separator by a kind of displacement wash. In contrast to previously known methods, according to the present invention a greater storage stability is attained with smaller quantities of perborate coating.

Date Oct. 27, 1994Sodium percarbonate is often used in the form of coated particles to increase its storage stability in detergents. Sodium percarbonate particles coated in accordance with the invention have a coating containing reaction products from the reaction of a dialkali metal tetraborate or alkali metal pentaborate with aqueous hydrogen peroxide. Preferred coating components are: perborax with the formula Na2B4O7xH2O2, where n =2 or 4. The coated sodium percarbonate particles are produced by coating the percarbonate particles using a solution containing the reaction products mentioned above. Detergent, bleaching and cleaning compositions containing sodium percarbonate particles coated in accordance with the invention are distinguished by very high stability in storage.
Abstract:
Sodium percarbonate of the formula 2 Na2CO3 3 H2O2 can be produced by fluidised-bed spray granulation by spraying an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate and a hydrogen peroxide solution on sodium percarbonate seeds and evaporating water. The previously necessary use of phosphorus-containing crystallisation inhibitor to prevent blockages and incrustations in and on the nozzle can be avoided by the invention if the solutions are sprayed using a single three-substance pulverisation nozzle with the external mixing of the solutions.
Abstract:
In the prior art, sodium percarbonate is coated with compounds which produce a stabilizing action in order to increase the shelf life. There is a need for an improved, boron-free, coating for sodium percarbonate. Proposed by the invention is a particle coating containing sodium carbonate plus one or more optionally partly hydrated magnesium compounds, preferably magnesium sulphate, in a single coat or in separate coats. The coating preferably contains two coats. The particles are produced by spraying aqueous solutions containing the coating compounds on to sodium percarbonate in a fluidized bed and at the same time evaporating off the water. Their long shelf life makes particles coated in this way suitable for use in washing, bleaching and cleaning agents.

Abstract:
Sodium percarbonate is often used, in the form of encapsulated particles, in washing and cleaning agents in order to increase their shelf life. Sodium percarbonate particles encapsulated as proposed by the invention have an envelope containing the products of the reaction between a di-alkali-metal tetraborate or alkali-metal pentaborate and aqueous hydrogen peroxide. Preferred envelope components are perborax compounds of the formula Na2B4O7.nH2O2 in which n is 1 or 4. The encapsulated sodium percarbonate particles are produced by coating the percarbonate particles using a solution containing the specified reaction products. Washing, bleaching and cleaning agents containing sodium percarbonate particles encapsulated as proposed by the invention are characterized by their very long shelf life.
