Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process which is capable of producing a particle group for being added to a detergent having a good handleability (breaking load) and improving the lathering property of a powdery detergent composition by using a method which does not involve a spray dry method and neutralizes an acid precursor of an anionic surfactant and a water-soluble alkali agent in producing particles for being added to a detergent containing not less than a specific amount of an 12-14 C alcohol.SOLUTION: A process for producing a particle group for being added to a detergent includes a step to dry-neutralize a water-soluble alkali agent and an acid precursor of an anionic surfactant by mixing the water-soluble alkali agent and the acid precursor. In the process for producing the particle group for being added to a detergent, an 12-14C alcohol is added before, during or after the dry-neutralization step in a way that 3.5-20 mass% of the alcohol is included in the particle group for being added to a detergent and the mass ratio of the acid precursor to the alcohol is 1/10-10/1.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To conduct thermal treatment preventing powder from scattering in a thermal treatment device without requirement of complicated processes by spraying a liquid over a stationary powder layer as a raw material, and treating the powder thermally in an air current. CONSTITUTION: A liquid spraying device consists of a spray liquid storage tank 36, a liquid feed pump 35 and a spraying nozzle 34. A plurality of units of the spraying nozzle 34 are installed almost orthogonally in the forward moving direction of a container 8 for transport, so that the spraying of a liquid is achieved in a fan-shape. In addition, a raw material powder is deposited in a stationary state inside the container 8. Further, after the liquid such as water is sprayed from the spraying nozzle 34, the powder is transported to a heating furnace 10 using a transport means 3, and then is thermally treated by a heating means 3 while a gas is inducted. Thus it is possible to carry out the thermal treatment with a concurrent action to prevent powder from scattering in a thermal treatment device. It is also possible to achieve an industrially advantageous continuous thermal treatment either by circulating the plural units of the container 8 for transport or by driving a belt for transport in a circulatory fashion. The velocity of an air current near the surface of a stationary powder layer in the thermal treatment layer is 0.1 to 50m/s. The preferable bulk specific gravity is 0.01 to 2.0g/cc and the most preferable specific gravity is 0.1 to 1.0g/cc.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a crystalline silicate compound with excellent productivity by firing an amorphous silicate compounds in an atmosphere, in which moisture is added to have a prescribed dew point, to improve crystallization rate at the time of firing. SOLUTION: This crystalline silicate compound is obtained by firing the amorphous silicate compound (e.g. hydrated sodium silicate) having, preferably 0.1-50wt.% water content in an atmosphere, in which moisture is added to have 30-90 deg.C dew point. As a method for introducing moisture in a firing furnace, it is more preferable to introduce steam, which unnecessitates heat of vaporization, that to introduce water in a liquid state, in the view point of the heat efficiency of the firing furnace. The resultant crystalline silicate compound is useful as a softening agent for water or the like and the crystalline silicate compound expressed by the formula e.g. Na2 O.1.5SiO2 .0.5CaO (M is Na, or K, M' is Ca or Mg, (y/x)=0.5 to 3.5, (z/x)=0 to 1) is particularly useful.
