Composition and method of making bicaroate and bicaroate/dipersulfate mixtures which are stabilized, in dry form, with a coherent coating of sodium borosilicate. The borosilicate is formed in situ by the reaction of a sodium silicate and a sodium metaborate.

Stable monopersulfate triple salt and its method of preparation

A process for making gel bead having a mean diameter of less than 50 microns by adiabatically atomizing a hydrocolloid sol to droplet of less than 50 microns under conditions that lower the temperature of the hydrocolloid below its gel temperature.

Process for making gel microbeads

A process to manufacture and coat a sodium carbonate perhydrate containing 10.5% to 14% active oxygen which is stable in a non-phosphate detergent composition and which has a bulk density of from 900 to 1,050 kg/m.sup.3. Anhydrous sodium carbonate with a pore volume of at least 0.29 ml/g is contacted with 50% to 75% by weight hydrogen peroxide in the presence of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid and water is evaporated at a rate to maintain a dry reaction mixture. The product is coated by sparging sodium borosilicate at a rate to avoid moistening the particles.

Process for manufacturing sodium carbonate perhydrate particles and

The invention provides a process to coat dry particles comprising sodium carbonate perhydrate to provide a stable dry particulate solid which releases hydrogen peroxide when contacted with an aqueous solution. The coated particles are readily soluble in water and/or stable when formulated into a solid detergent.

Peroxygen laundry bleach

A highly-pure cyanuric acid is manufactured in a continuous process whereby urea and/or biuret are dissolved in an inert solvent and circulated at a high velocity and a temperature in the range of about 180.degree. C. to about 250.degree. C. through a loop between a heat exchanger and a forced circulation evaporative crystallizer body. Cyanuric acid crystallizes from the reaction mixture as it circulates to form a slurry. Ammonia formed during the reaction is removed at reduced pressure as the reaction mixture enters the evaporative crystallizer body. A portion of the slurry of cyanuric acid is continuously removed as it circulates through the loop and may be filtered to recover the cyanuric acid. The filtrate is returned to a feed tank and additional solvent, urea or biuret added to meet the concentration desired in the reaction mixture. The solution from the feed tank is added to the reaction mixture circulating through the loop at a rate to replace the volume of cyanuric acid slurry that is removed.

Continuous process for the manufacture of cyanuric acid

Cyanuric acid is mechanically separated such as by filtration, centrifugation, or centrifugal filtration from a slurry of cyanuric acid, urea, biuret, and an inert solvent in which the urea is soluble at temperatures above about 170.degree. C. to reduce the urea content of the recovered solid cyanuric acid. The biuret and solvent content of the solid cyanuric acid is also reduced.

Purification of cyanuric acid

Anhydrous cyanuric acid containing amounts of occluded solvent is recrystallized to a purified cyanuric acid dihydrate by slurrying the contaminated anhydrous cyanuric acid in an aqueous medium.
