Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0349199A1] Granular detergent compositions are prepared by forming an aqueous slurry containing tripolyphosphate, pyrophosphate and/or silicate, other neutral or alkaline salt, and optional detergent surfactant, spray drying the slurry in a spray tower to partially dry the granules, and then completing the drying of the granules in a secondary dryer. During the drying process, the granule temperature does not exceed about 90<o>C to minimize reversion of polyphosphate and formation of silicate insolubles. The resulting granules exhibit improved physical properties versus conventional spray dried granules containing the same water content, or similar physical properties at higher moisture levels.
